    The division is reigniting with such fighters as:

    -Gennady Golovkin 24-0.
    -Peter Quillin 28-0.
    -Dmitry Pirog 20-0.
    -Daniel Geale 28-1.

    But who do you think will be the future of the division?

    Also, who would like to see Arthur Abraham back in the division too? He's a bit too small for SMW, and much more effective at 160. Good times...

    GGG has to be favoured at this time, but its too early too tell. He is overrated by some (at this point in time, please note), and I see holes in his game that certain fighters will be able to take advantage of (but much easier said then done).

    I think the MW division in the immediate future will bring some good action, with back and forth champions (and no real dominant champ for a few years).

    This is post Martinez, of course.

    Andrade is rarely mentioned on this forum. He looked good and big at this stage. Too bad the Maciel fight is off since Pirog had faced him not too long ago and we could have a better idea where he stands.

    Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez.

    This guy is the real deal. Any discussion on the future of the middleweight/supermiddleweight division must include his name.

    I wonder if Sturm is ever gonna make another run at the top, he and Geale fought a close fight that I could see avegned

    Sturm beat plenty of tough middleweights I dont think he will just disappear

    Njikam in defeat fought a nice fight

    Macklin is on a nice little roll

    Murray is in the mix

    lots to like

    Khurtsidze is a top 10 MW skill wise, super exciting and just signed with Dibela so hopefully we'll see him more soon.
