    I like andy lee and thinks he is defiantly a serious contender at middleweight giving most of the top boys problems, however hasn't had a big fight for a long time since Chavez Jnr and obviously the passing of Emmanuel Steward didnt help but has worked with Adam Booth for a considerable time now and hasn't had any real fight of note?

    Any one know of any plans?

    April 12, I think. Not a big fight, but a fight nonetheless.

    Lee's had a run of bad luck with landing big fights recently. First it was the Golovkin fight that fell through then the Macklin fight fell through as well.
    Lee's out next on Hearn's Cardiff show and i don't expect the opponent to be up to much tbh.
    Good fighter though Lee and i thought he did a better job on Bryan Vera than Chavez Jnr did recently, but Adam Booth seems to have changed his style going on his last fight on the Froch-Groves bill.

    Cool, is he out there first Bill. I'm sure Big David Price is on that bill in Denmark as well then?

    Wasn't he supposed to get fed to Golovkin recently? Maybe he still can after the JCC jr fight.

    I'd hardly call not getting fed to GGG "bad luck".
    GGGs fathers demise was - if anything- a lucky break for Andy.

    As regards Andys level, for me he has looked really great only twice.
    Thats twice in 10 years.
    Firstly the Vera rematch and secondly in the first 4-5 rounds against Chavez jr.

    Vera was and is very limited and possibly flattered Andy, and Chavez has always been a very slow starter.
    (Bear in mind many thought Zbik beat Chavez, and Duddy fought him hard all the way.)

    Lets be honest - Andy simply is not world level. He has not turned out to be as good as we all hoped he would when he turned pro all those years ago. I'd love to see Andy involved in another big fight - as a cornerman, trainer, manager, media guy...whatever...just not as a boxer, sorry.

    There has been talk of Lee moving down to light-middle.

    Good point if a random drunk had told me but Eddie Hearn usually knows his stuff.
