    My guess is GGG beating Sturm in Oberhausen by the end of 2011.

    I also think Lemieux will earn a shot at Martinez' belt, but Sergio could make a move in weight to go after money fights. If David faces Martinez or Pirog as he alluded to in a recent interview, GYM better schedule him 1 or 2 top quality fights between Rubio and the title shot,

    What do you guys think?

    I think Sturm might lose first if he faces Golovkin. I don't think Sturm would like to face him, but he will have no choice or he gets stripped his belt. Martinez may vacate his title to face popular fighters for money. I doubt he will want to waste time with mandatories. He hasn't much years left before retirement.
    Lemieux may fight for the vacant WBC next year. That's my guess.

    Sooner or later someone will stop Sylvester. He can't hide from a live boxer forever. He's a ****ing rubbish "champion".

    If Martinez is out of the picture soon enough, we could see Chavez Jr vs Zbik for the vacant belt and the winner vs Lemieux in August/September. :hey

    What's the current situation with the belt? Is Martinez' mandatory Zbik (interim champ) or Chavez Jr (silver belt)? David holds the international belt, that's too many ****in belts.

    I don't think Sturm is going to be forced to fight Golovkin. According to the (****ed up) WBA rules, a super champion is given more freedom to fight. The regular champion Golovkin may be pitted against Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam :D

    I think Sylvester will be the first to fall.

    Sturm is scheduled to fight in February, they still haven't announced who he was going up against... N'Dam doesn't have anything on the schedule, and Golovkin is fighting in 2 weeks. Wouldn't it make sense to have either of the two face Sturm in Feb?
