    ggg leftovers would be a waste of time but if people need to see it I'd rather him fight Lemieux, since he'd dominate the bum with a decent fanbase.

    I am excited that we have a new strong edition to the MW division and I strongly agree with taking his time to taste the water before jump in with the Sharks.
    Having said that, Lewis gassed has a point, the same posters who claim MW is a bum land are now flip the script.

    The way I look at it, Lemieux will be Canelo's body guard at 160. They'll probably sacrifice him to Charlo before he gets to Canelo just like they did with GGG

    Absolutely great fight, but like Ronnie Sheilds just said about his fighter.....

    Theyre not gonna throw him to the wolves in his first fight at the weight, and are in NO HURRY for a title fight.

    Thats trainer talk for 'we aint fighting anyone slick, with one punch power, an iron chin, or untouchable defense, and damned sure not someone like Lemiuex who has both one punch power and an iron chin'.

    So Lemiuex.....not a chance.
    But he'll almost certainly be fighting one of GGGs leftovers....either that or he's gotta move to 168 where there are actually solid contenders that GGG aint already mowed down.
    A combination of Stevens, Vera, Rosado, Wade, Ishe Smith, Soliman, or Mora would all be solid top 30 type names for him to get a solid ranking for an early 2018 title fight vs the likes of NDam, Lemieux, Quillin, GGG, or BJS.

    then

    Ndam

    then Lemiuex

    Culminating in a showdown with either Canelo or Golovkin...

    Would be a good plan imo.

    These wolves you talk about are domesticated dogs but overall you are right. Best bet for him is to get acclimated first then go for the top at the time.

    Charlo-Khurtsidze would be a FOTY caliber matchup

    He shouldn't be running from Andrade. He claimed he had a hard weight cut, but he looked fine against Williams. Andrade is a bigger fight for him then a fringe contender at middleweight. Still, he will be a viable opponent for whoever wins Jacobs vs Golovkin.

    Andrade needs new management. His managers are as terrible as Rigos.
    Anyway, I like Andrade, but I think jermall beats him.
    I's like to see Andrade take on the once defeated Williams.

    154 had/has huge weight cutters like Hurd, Charlos bros, Andrade, Harrison and Lubin yet the media/fans are crying for Iddy biddy Canelo to move up! ffs Canelo isn't much bigger than Kell Brook, he's been undersized compared to the majority of his division (not that he's fought any of them) even Lara made him look small!!!!

    **** GGG vs Canelo, Jacobs is a much bigger threat, so is Charlo and CEJ is coming for GGG there ain't no hiding old boy.

    Good move. He was probably killing himself to make 154. He looked huge in the Williams fight.
