    You posted the thread in the middle of the night here.
    Couple of good fights already happens Vlasov v Chilemba and
    Edwin Rodriguez v Aaron Pryor Jr , and there are rumors about
    Degale v Groves

    Also I would like to see Kessler Dirrell and Taylor back. And I hope Andrade gets a decent fight to , nobody seems to be wanting a fight with him.


    Ps: I'd like to know Pavlik's rankings at SMW

    Another option for either winner is to go after the WBO / reg WBA belts so to have more negotiating power down the road... however if Kessler does that, and since Sauerland has been looking into the Stieglitz case for a while now, would he lose his WBC Emeritus Champ status for going after another belt / sanctioning body?

    I saw Chilemba/Vlasov: good fight. I also saw Rodriguez/Pryor. Rodriguez is seriously flawed but has potential. Shawn Estrada is another guy who has potential. He's wild as hell, but he only has 11 fights.

    As for Pavlik's ranking, the WBC has him at #1, but that's silly. He has not fought above 160 for 2 1/2 years.

    thanks Boo. Was wondering, and figured the WBC (if anybody) was gonna rank KP up there...fair or not. KP really shouldn't be ranked at SMW until after he's made atleast one appearance there. (at this point anyway for damn sure..:p)

    Well Boxing Fans -- Bute stopped Magee as we expected. Magee is a tough *******, but Bute is on another level. I'm looking forward to seeing Bute in the ring with a genuine "A-Level" opponent.

    St Juste is looking at a possible fight with Kessler. Kessler no doubt needs a tune-up, so fighting St Juste is perfectly okay.

    Zuniga must be planning on staying at 175. He has a fight with some cab driver coming up. It's in Columbia so we won't get to see it.

    Reports on Pavlik are all positive. I saw recent video, and he is already starting to look like a monster. Alfonso Lopez seems like a really nice kid, but I think he is in to deep to soon.

    It has been for a while, its just that fans recognise the fighters now because of the S6, but the division has had talent for the past 10 years

    Dont forget DeGale - Groves in May

    Love the Super-Middleweight division!

    Andre Ward is my favorite boxer.

    DeGale/Groves is another fight that adds spice to the division. It depends on how the fight plays out, but this is one of those fights where the winner may cross the line from prospect to legitimate contender.

    Come on people lets behonest booradley post this thread cause it's really about his hero Pavlik. Pavlik will get his a$$ kicked once he face real fighters at smw the likes of Ward, Froch, Johnson, Bute. Pavlik days as a top fighter is freaking OVER!!!!!

    Regardless, I like Pavlik and so do a lot of other people. He is an entertaining fighter and he is good for boxing when he has his head in the game.

    Love him or hate him, Pavlik being competitive is GOOD for boxing.
