    Thomas Hauser asked 13 matchmakers to predict matches between 13 middleweights. A win is 1 point a draw is half a point:

    Peter Quillin - 67

    CHAMPION: Sergio Martinez

    1 Daniel Geale


    2 Felix Sturm


    3 Matthew Macklin


    4 Grzegorz Proksa


    5 Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

    6 Sebastian Zbik


    7 Dmitry Pirog


    8 Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam

    9 Martin Murray


    10 Gennady Golovkin

    the rings latest mw rankings they have geale as martinez biggest rival i think hauser's poll result of Gennady Golovkin or Dmitry Pirog is bmore accurate

    i don't think so taylor didn't look great in his comeback and his team seem to be taking his progress slow

    Fair enough but Jermain will sharpen up a bit and Kid Chocolate has never looked that impressive to me

    Proksa,pirog and golovkin all are very capable of beating sergio imo, they arent as lost as these matchmakers think, time for them all to fight each other.

    I think Geale is Sergios biggest threat.

    Watched him put on a clinic the other night.
