The new crop of middleweight's.

add James Kirkland to the list.

 

These are good guys but few if any strike any of us as genuine talent who could do what Pac or Floyd could do. Many of them will struggle to reach the level of Pavlik or Martinez.

 

I thought he is going down for years.

 

ive never seen golovkin fight, but heard good reports, its looking tough for the home trio to get a world belt, the best bet for them would be chavez, pirog, williams, martinez, are nightmares with gloves on.:good

 

On Sunday, April 19, 2009, Kirkland was stopped in Austin traffic and arrested for possession of a firearm by a felon, with a possibility of prison if he is convicted.[5] He is currently on probation for an armed robbery conviction in 2003, for which he spent 30 months in jail.[6]. On Wednesday, September 23, 2009, Kirkland was sentenced to 24 months in prison after pleading guilty to the firearm charge. Having already served 6 months in jail since his arrest, he will serve 18 more months before being released. It has been reported that Kirkland's projected release date will be October 2, 2010.[7]

 

Think he's being released in September.

I'm really positive about this division. Martinez can fight Williams or rematch Oavlik while the new breed battle it out (I presume Angulo will chase the $$$$'s and move up) although I don't reckon Lee, Barker or Macklin will be able to mix it up with some of the names being mentioned here.

Hopefully Koborov can start pushing hard and get up there within a year or so.

Golovkin Vs NJikam is the next one we NEED to see. Lemiuex Vs any of these is instantly intriguing, he's one hyped puncher who actually appears the goods. Lemiuex Vs Chavez Jr :yep

 

Kirkland is an amazing prospect, real top drawer stuff.

 

Any life that can be pumped into the middleweight divsion, the greatest weight class in the history of the sport imo, is a good thing in my eyes.

The potential is there.

 

Your forgetting Light-Flyweight.

 

Middleweights are my obsession Greg

 

Its good to see one of the marquee divisions which has been a lttle stagnant for a while looking lively . Hopefully these guys fight each other over the next 18 months to 2 years

 

I really want Njikam vs. Golovkin. I dont see how that couldnt e an entertaining fight. Golovkin would start favourite Id say but Id consider it a real pickem fight.
