Andy Lee who would you match him up with?

jamie moore/matt macklin

 

I think Pavilik is a bit over rated. He's one of those wildly exciting fighters, who's style makes him vulnerable to being knocked out.

Enjoy Pavilik while he is on top. I think he is going to make a mistake in or out of the ring eventually.

Lee has been tested in live sparring sessions. Steward knows when to move his men up.

 

I´d like to see him fight John Duddy for the vacant EBU title next summer, after Castillejo has relinquished the belt to fight Sturm again. It would make sense and Lee would KTFO Duddy.

 

:rofl - You are already assuming that Sylvester will lose to Castillejo. Maybe the Spaniard gets old over night and Sylvester beats him?

Sylvester vs. Sturm would be far more interesting than a 3rd meeting between Sturm and Castillejo...

 

I think Steward is just doing some marketing: hyping Andy and putting his name out there, knowing there is no reason for Pavlik or other top middleweights to fight Lee any time soon. The risk vs. reward is too high for any of those guys to fight Lee, because he does have the power to put nearly any of them to sleep. I think he needs at least another year, if not 18 months.

That said, he looks like he has loads of talent, and could fight at a very high level for a very long time.

 

Rumor has it that Zertuche is a shot fighter. Zertuche took a year off after his brutal KO loss to Pavlik. He then got smoked by Rubio in what one writer referred to as Zertuche's farewell fight.
