    Finally Andy is getting ready to make a come back. A fight with Heiland is possible for early 2017, winner to become the next mandatory for Golovkin's WBC title. Thoughts?

    I like Heiland in this fight, I think he might be the hungrier fighter and Andy Lee has had a long lay off.

    Lee has the equaliser with his power though so 50/50 fight for me

    I think Helland actually stops him late. Lee will fade from the pressure and Helland is durable. I actually feel pretty strong about this result and will put down some money.

    I'm going with Heiland here, as much as I like Andy, his powers of recovery will be pushed to the limits here, it'll probably end up looking like the first Vera match. Although he is very open to a Lee right hook, so Lee KO is very possible as well.

    I suspect if Heiland beats Lee, he will avoid GGG whereas Lee seems way more willing to get in the ring with GGG.

    I don't see why the fight wouldn't happen, he hasn't got the fan base or marketability to negotiate and he had a few losses already.

    I think he is just as likely if not more likely to take GGGs low balling offers. I think Jorge is so low reward GGG might try to pass. GGGs low balling offer could be life changing money In Argentina!

    Considering he's trying to earn it the hard way, I also think Heiland would take the challenge too. It could be far worse, he could be just too busy cleaning out the domestic scene while trying to make people believe that the champ is avoiding him.

    Heiland throws a **** load of punches, so he'll definitely outwork Lee, but as people have mentioned Lee has the power to bail him out in tough situations. It's a good fight between southpaws, but I'll have to bank on Lee's experience to prevail here, by late stoppage via the Right Hook! Make it happen!

    long lay offs work differ for everyone. some times it rejuvintates fighters . others get lazy and put on too much weight and have trouble losing it and are really in the ideal fighting shape.

    lee is a trooper and can be getting beat up but he has legit power then can bail him out. but if he comes in there he did vs bjs he aint beating any one . i give bjs credit for makin lee look bad but lee really disapointed that fight.

    I like this fight a lot. Maybe the time off Lee had will rejuvenate him to his good old days. Either way it's a good way for Heiland to get noticed if he does win.

    Good fight, like to see it happen. Whoever won would be in a good position to land a fight with Golovkin or any other bigger named middleweight.

    Lee has been off for almost a year now so he'll be looking at a long layoff whenever he comes back and Heiland is a tough guy but I'd still pick Lee to pull out the win here.

    Lee is very admirable person who would have fought GGG if he had beaten Saunders. At the moment he is a low reward high risk opponent for all top 2-10 middleweights out there so now its the time to walk the talk. If he beats Heiland, he will face Golovkin.

    It's a good fight. If Lee can't catch him he will get beat up.
