Andy Lee who would you match him up with?

you beat me to it. I was gonna say zertuche. he's very tough, hits hard and takes a good punch. that'd be a good test I think

 

Andy Lee needs two more fights against real names. Carl Daniels was a good start, but then Emmanuel backpedeled him into tomato cans.

Possibles?
Gary Lockett
Koji Sato
Sebastian Sylvester
Howard Eastman
Winky Wright (which would never happen as greedy as he's become)
or, why the hell not, JOHN DUDDY!!!

 

Zuniga
zertuche
Soliman
Eastman

Let him fight 3 out of these 4, then put him against Abraham or Sturm. If he keeps his "0" he's ready for Pavlik. Realistically I don't think Pavlik and Lee will meet at 160. Lee needs a good 18 months before he would be ready. By that time Pavlik will have cleaned out 160, and moved up.

 

its way too early for these threads please..........not again isnt it enough that we have to digest John duddy and Joe Mesi threads.

 

Kingsley Ikeke
Jose Luis Zertuche
Fulgencio Zuniga
Ray Joval
Alejandro Berrio

If you're training for Pavlik, that's about as good of a lineup I can think of. Some tall fighters, some decent boxers, some big punchers.

That said, I'm not sure he's ready for someone of Zertuche's or Zuniga's caliber yet. He's probably KO Berrio right now, but at least Berrio would seriously test his chin first. Ikeke should be easy pickings, but at least he's very rangy. Joval would by far be his biggest test as far as pure boxing is concerned, and he might even be a better boxer tha Pavlik.

Edit: Even though he's a lesser fighter, I might go with Yory Boy Campas over Berrio. Berrio is similar to Zertuche but with a lesser chin anyway, and Campas might help teach him how to deal with a pressure fighter, even if Yory Boy is shot.

 

According to Steward, he's already in talks to have Lee fighting the Pavlik-Duddy winner, which i would hate to see, not so much because it would be too early for Lee, but because i wanna see Pavlik-Abraham. And the fact that that would keep Lee out of the title picture til' 2009 would probably be just as well too, for everybody involved.

 

Lee is just not ready for any one near world level yet, not even gate keepers. I would keep him away from Euro level guys as well for the time being. Manny is just blowing hot air.

 

I'd like to see Lee against Bronco Mc Kart - a crafty veteran who gave Pavlik a hard time early in their fight

 

It was aid that it was the first time evr, that faliga has been stopped, he must be doing okay

 

I was thinking of that too, but after Bronco lost to Ornelas I think he's hanging up the gloves.

Boo

 

Nah, just means Falliga has been fighting poor comp!

 

In this order

1- Jose Spearman
2- Elvin Ayala
3- Sebastien Demers
4- Enrique Ornelas
5- Javier Castillejo

 

Lee only fought journeman and C level fighters so far, how is he supposed to be fighting for a belt already? It shouldn't be that easy.

I'd like to see him facing Mora, that's a matchup that makes sense to both fighters.
