sorry pavlik fans... the division is bum juice martinez & pw are natural 154'ers 147>168>140>lightweight>154>lightheavy>heavy>cruiser>super feather> super bantam> bantam> 160
yer it looks bad, Pavlik hasn't got anything going in the division, a fight with PW needs to happend though, but their is lot of prospects for the fututre
There are people in there who would beat Pavlik, just aren't big draws. Golovkin would handle him comfortably imo.
I think your forgetting a little someone called Sergio Mora... better than Floyd and Pac combined - would easily handle Roy Jones or any of the elites. I would even pick him over Joe Louis with Mora moving up to heavyweight
:good Gennady Golovkin, Matt Korobov, Dimitri Pirog, Daniel Jacobs, David Lemieux... And that's forgetting half.
Besides Pavlik there are a few unproven prospects like Guerrero and Jacobs but nothing else. There is also Wright, Williams, and Martinez but they fight where they offer more money so they are not legitimate MWs. Sturm is also a name worth mentioning.
True its a terribly poor division, absolutly nothing there of interest, but id have to say the Cruiserweight is the absolute worst:-(
Cruiser weight is terrible because of all the guys bloating up to be HW. Or those not dedicated to boil down, whichever. Minto has decided that he is going to cruiser. Wise decision on his part.
Every division has its up and downs Taylor, Pavlik, Abraham, and Miranda to an extent, beat everyone there was to beat, and then KP emerged on top. Right now the division is in a rebuilding phase, and will be quite good in 18 months or so.
