    There are,there are,my friend!

    Silver olympic medalist Golovkin as well as hard hitting shooting star Pirog campaign at middle weight ,too.

    I for my part rank both above someone like Lee who is considered to be the greatest talent at middle weight by many posters here.
    I would even dare to bet a small amont of money that Lee wont go 12 rounds with Pirog,and that he would get the beating of his life against Golovkin if they fought at this stage of their careers.

    To make it a statement like that, you need to name a division worse off.

    Most of the "name" divisions these days are pretty bad. I'm talking MW, LHW and HW. WW is coming into a cooling down period as well.

    The MW division has 4 names in it...and none of the top guys are even close to fighting one another.

    And Pavlik and Abraham should join the 168.

    Lorenzo,Sylvester,Duddy,and Griffin are not really top fighters.
    Sturm?? I am so fed up with this guy who keeps talking big but fighting unknow opponents with laughable records.
    He and Khoren Gevor are probably on the same level.
    Lee,Golovkin,and Pirog are the only promising talents at middle weight who come to my mind.
    All in all,middle weight is a truly poor division in terms of quality fighters.Without Pavlik and AA this weight division would be dead.

    I'm not writing winky off. Winky has not been able to make 154 for ages. At this point, he is a middleweight. If he has at least 3/4 of a tank of gas left, he will beat Williams. Considering the stylisitc differences between Pavlik, Wright, and Abraham, things could get very interesting.
