    Hate to sound like an echo, but Andy Lee is by FAR the best out of the prospect bunch. I'm only waiting to see how his chin holds up against a true middleweight puncher.

    No insult Tomster, but why did Bute make it this far, and Golovkin is hardly known??

    Because Golovkin just went pro in mid 2006 whereas Bute turned pro just after the amateurs world championships in Bankok in 2003...

    You are right,unitas.Golovkin is head and shoulders above all other promising fighters right now.
    Lee cant hold a candle to him.
    By the way I am surprised how toughly olympic silver medalist Golovkin has been matched so far!

    Are you serious,drvooh?

    Golovkin has only had 8 pro fights so far,and he has been matched very toughly so far.
    The name of this pro game is money.And a fighter's markebility is determined by various factors.A very important factor is a fighter's nationality.Golovkin is Kazahk.No,he isnt an ethnic Russian like Chagaev or Maskaev who also have passports from that region of this planet.Kazahks are not very marketable in the most important box markets like the USA or Germany.
    Bute is Romanian,and fights out of Canada.It terms of markebility he for sure has an advantage over Golovkin IMO.
    Golovkin was a great amateur who won silver at the last olmypic tournament.Lets hope that he can earn some big bucks in Germany!

    Giovanny Lorenzo, 6' tall exciting 160-pounder puncher, it's time for Main Evants to get him back on track and fight the likes of Dennis Sharpe and Archak TerMeliksetian for a real chance to move him to contendership position, put him up against Javier Castillejo or Amin Asikainen.

    A fight vs. Asikainen would be interesting, maybe even Sylvester...
