    - Gary Hyde believes Taylor will be stripped of his IBF belt soon and his fighter N'dam will possibly face Eamonn O'Kane (ranked 8th by the IBF) for it. :patsch

    - Frank ****** won a purse bid today for a Billy Joe Saunders and his EBU mandatory Michael Soro fight, which is curious because Saunders has demanded his shot at Andy Lee for the WBO belt. :huh

    BJS would obviously much rather face Andy Lee in Ireland or England, than have to go to USA and face Kid Chocco. (For obvious reasons).

    N'Dam isn't undeserving of another shot imo

    Zhanara Utesheva reporting on twitter that more than 100 countries have bought rights to broadcast the Golovkin-Murray fight.

    pretty sure shoe's facepalm emoticon was due to O'Kane getting the shot at vacant. Which also made me facepalm..

    N'Dam ofc he should get shot, he was mandatory. But wheres 2 through 7? You'd think vacant title would at least be contested by people in top5 :conf

    correct. N'Dam vs Lemieux would be interesting.

    also interesting that Chudinov wants Golovkin after Eubanks Jr but the latter didn't mention Golovkin and neither did Hearn.

    Great news and great indication how unbiased public reacts to GGG, real warrior with skills and power.

    I have hard times to understand how someone would like to support fight like that. How is it possible Quillin will have a title shot? That´s just utterly wrong.

    There are so many more deserving challengers like N´Dam, DL, Sturm, Murray, Saunders,.. even Martinez.

    Lou Dibella states the Lee-Quillin-Saunders WBO belt situation should be resolved in the next 2 days. it appears Saunders is being given step-aside money & Lee-Quillin will be on the Garcia-Peterson undercard.

    for those unaware, Saunders is Lee's mandatory but Al Haymon 'advises' Quillin and often gets what he wants.

    Which means BJS will likely fight Quillin in the US if Quillin wins... I hope he's getting a big wedge to step aside...

    N'Dam, Mora and Quillin should be left out of the Middleweight discussion, nothing but exciting fights, they should set up a tournament. Something like this.

    Lemieux-Khytrov.
    Eubank-Chudinov. Included
    Murata-Quigley.
    Lee-Saunders.
    Heiland-Ryder.
    etc.

    N'Dam Vs Lemieux would certainly be fun...

    Ryder bored the pants off me in his last 2 fights, make him fight N'Dam for the position for fans to care about ;)

    Ryder-Godoy was:scaredas: but I think he and Heiland would mesh well it could be a war.

    as Lemieux & Khytrov are the only middleweights i see with enough talent & power to potentially challenge Triple G someday, i'd prefer they didn't fight each other anytime soon. and even if i did i sure as hell wouldn't want them in the first round of your proposed mw tournament since along with Lee they'd be the favorites.

    I'd prefer to see David and Ievgen to clean out the division before they fight each other as well, but you have to admit that would be a hell of a fight:yikes
