    Who looks to be the best of the new crop begining to make names for themselves?
    I'm talking about Golovkin,Korobov,Lara and Jacobs. Any Brits in with a shout? Maybe Mcewen or Macklin?

    Also when I say 'middleweight' feel free to include the 168lbs division.

    lee ,luis garcia , macklin and mckewan could all be future opponents , could be a few good trilogys hopefully , i think macklin is the best of the 4 on current performances

    Korobov will do the best if he's promoted well IMO

    I dont mind Pavlik but when you consider that he,Sturm and Abraham (three ****ers who wont fight each other!) are the best in the division, then yes, its pretty dire!

    True they are the best but outside of that its been terrible if they fought each other it would be 3 very good fights. Outside those 3 and maybe Winky Wright its very bad.

    The only title defense's that i remember the guys coming to fight were Geover and Sylvester.

    Lara is the most promising IMO.

    Yep. I like him. Looks promising and should definitely be a contender for belts in the division. They're all looking promising at the moment. Hopefully these guys will have the balls to fight each other unlike the three clowns that are currently at the top of the division.

    Any fighter who's entrance music is The White Stripes is ok by me!
    Will be having a closer look at Lara and Matt Korobov soon, although they're right at the begining of their careers.

    Its hard to judge Lara and Korobov from the level of oppostion they are fighting. Lara can look amazing on occasion and Korobov seems to already have all the fundamentals in place.

    There wasn't much THAT wrong, he just looked a little ordinary. Bunce was saying he looked in need of a rest but his schedule hasn't been that busy for a pro starting out.

    Ah right well i've seen 3 of his other fights and he looks technically sound, good defense nice range of shots and he looks like he can dig a bit too I think he'll do well
