    MY thought is that this is a very stinky division. Nothing here.

    tend to agree. but with Jabocs coming through, Kirkland coming back. Some decent young fighters, it will pick up.

    I'd like to see Mundine a couple of places lower. I don't feel he'd be strong H2H against that bunch and he hasn't achieved anything for a while, he's like Danny Green in that he's not really on the world stage, just taking circus-show fights that mean nothing.

    Agree about Mundine. his next fight is at Light Middle anyway.

    His previous fight was supposed to be a light-middle. No way he makes 154.

    Thats a pretty thin division right there. When you add in Pavlik is leaving 160, Sturm has nothing lined up and has been off for a year, and Martinez will probably fight at 154 then that makes the division even weaker. With Pavlik gone and Sturm nowhere to be found that makes Gevor and Slyvester the top two contenders. Ok fightesr but them being ranked so high shows how thin the division is.

    Pavlik is no longer a middleweight. Martinez already gave up the WBO title, and will probably relinquish the WBC title without a defense.

    There are about 10 young middleweights who look really good. The division is about 18-24 months from going through a great period.

    Pavlik will be re-ranked at Super Middle or Light Heavy ONLY when he actually fights there. Same with Martinez, his last 2 fights were there.
