Who emerges from the list of YOUNG, TALENTED Group of Middleweights as the BEST?

I've only seen Pirog on You Tube against somewhat limited opposition, but he looks like a God Damned Assassin!

I'm not sold on Jacobs. I thought that if Micheal Walker knew that jabs are actually legal, he would have beat Jacobs. Walker lost his zero to David Lopez long before Jacobs got to him, and also worked as a Pavlik sparring partner for the Zertuche fight. That's his level. I'll be surprised if Jacobs ever holds a major title, but he is young and has time to improve, so he could surprise me.

Duddy will never be more than a famous club fighter. He's entertaining and has a huge heart. However, he struggles against the level of fighters that Hopkins, Taylor, and Pavlik demolished when each came up through the ranks.

I expect Chavez Junior to lose to Duddy.

I'm really looking forward to seeing David Lemieaux on FNF this week. Ayala has no pop, but he has a decent chin, and he can box a bit. He'll show us exactly where David stands.

I haven't seen Andy Lee since he lost to Vera. I hear Lee is improving, but I think Craig McEwan, who should be on the poll, would box Andy's ears off.

Fernando Guerrero sparked Walker in 2 rounds, and beat Ossie Duran. Duran gave David Lopez a good tussle, so Guerrero may be worth watching.

Matty Korobov should be in the poll. In the long run he may prove to be the best of the young lions

The rest I don't know enough about to comment on.

 

yep.

anthony mundine just ran 50 miles not to fight him!!!!

 

Thomas Oosthuizen, 19 years old.
6'3 super middle.
11 - 0 w/ 8 KOs.


Last April had the biggest win of his career when he KOd veteran Saul Roman (32-6).

 

But on the existing list:

Jacobs
and then
Lee

 

Golovkin

 

Brooklyn In Da House!! Danny Jacobs!

 

Danny Jacobs is the most talented out of all the young 154/160 pound fighters coming up.

 

With you on this one Bigbone.

 

Erislandy Lara or Danny Jacobs although jacobs struggled alot with Smith and even got rocked

 

I don't think there is any shame for a prospect to struggle with Ishe Smith.
But, Jacobs did clearly win that fight.

 

Andy Lee

 

Damn, hard to say! I haven't seen Fernando fight yet, but I remember hearing he blasted out Walker pretty quickly. Jacobs has a lot of talent, but I'm not sure if he's as well-rounded as the others.

Golovkin, Korobov and N'Jikam look sensational.

 

N'Jikam has the most potential. His problem will be trying to enter himself into bigger fights with the poor management team he has.

 

i agree with this but hes more than a club level fighter to be fair but hes no world beater by any stretch of the imagination. duddy is great for boxing though, its guys like him who keep the sport alive, fighting regularly in entertaining fights. i hope he beats chavez jr and gets a shot at something to make him financially secure for life whilst going down in a war



i really like korobov, he has a great punching style. lee i just dont know for sure.


it will be interesting to see if kirkland comes back as a middleweight and angulo can no longer make 154 and be as strong. then it would be real interesting to watch

 

Fernando destroyed Walker who Jacobs struggled with! Now he can do the same to Ishe Smith and everyone may realize Fernando is a league ahead!!!!
