~ The next generation of Middleweight talents - Golovkin crowned, Barker out ~

I didnt make the list for this thread grendal nor did i make the lists for boxrec rankings or the WBA......(there is a reason why andy lee and jacobs are ranked higher than mcewan)

 

Barry, they`re LISTS!

 

good post. it's really good to see this division's got some great talent coming up in light of how it's been for the last few years.

 

If you believe jacobs is scared of mcewan .... well i have to laugh at that nonsense, sure mcewan couldnt crack a egg nevermind a top 20 fighter.... (not with his power)

 

Lee, McEwan, and Duddy all have a long way to go. Right now David "The Destroyer" Lopez would kick the living **** out of all 3, and Rubio would knock all the 3 the **** out.

I sincerely hope all 3 can develop into viable contenders, but they aren't really even close to that level yet. Duddy probably never will be.

 

Damn. Great thread. That's all I have to say about that.

 

Agreed. The first two are still extremely rough round the edges, not ready for a title shot yet. (Though if KP were being cynical he could try and fight them now and dispense with them as a threat for the future! ) We'll see what happens with Duddy.

 

Lol rubio is shite always has been always will be, and david lopez is not world class by any means.[stop trying to hype pavliks opponents lol]

 

Shawn will be on FNF in Cleveland in the next few weeks. His father told us that they are working w/ a nutritionist to land Shawn in the right weight class, which is 154 lb. or even 147 lb. 5'6 " doesn't equate to MW

 

every division goe through rebuilding stages

 

Man , you have talked some shite on this thread and insulted another poster who was making consise valid points. atsch

BTW - boxrec rankings are complete crap and previous victories in the amteurs doesn't mean anything in the pros. Get your head out of your ass for a change

 

David Lopez is ranked #7 by Ring Magazine, and if the rankings were correct, he would be at least one spot higher, because Gevor does not belong at #4.

David has not lost since a 12th round TKO at the hands of Fulgencio Zuniga in 2005. He has 14 straight wins. He has held minor titles from 160-175, and has fought everywhere from junior middleweight to cruiserweight. Again, Lopez would beat all 3 of the Irish boys with relative ease, and Rubio would knock all 3 out. At this point that is not even debatable.

 

Nice to know Quillin is back. I wondered what happened to him.

 

He had a pretty extensive interview that covered his inactivity a few months back on On The Ropes. :good
