cotto seems to have revitalized himself, however, I think he has little chance at even finishing a fight against GGG. Gennady will have to move to 168 to get good money fights. I don't know where Ward is at because he fought a total beer can last weekend, but Froch already said he wants nothing of GGG. As for Lemieux, he could face quillin or lee. Both would be fun fights. He could enjoy a decent reign at middleweight if GGG moves up. There's a few guys at middle weight coming up, but no names that jump out at me off the top of my head.
i think Lemieux beats Lee, i've followed Lee for a while and he isn't even the best domestic middleweight let alone world. i think Billy Joe Saunders is next and Saunders wins that, Eubank Jr beats Lee too for me.
yeah it was really odd from Ward wanting the fight at catch weight, on a different planet to Smith in class but still wanted that weight advantage being the naturally heavier guy.
Smith has never fought above 168, natural middleweight and Ward pound 4 pound one of the best, olympic gold at light heavy still wanting it at 172 despite dominating SMW?
he didn't need any help with the weight, can brush aside Smith at any weight so could have easily had it at 168 and not handicap Smith.
i think that's why Smith came in over, probably thought he'd go all out looking for that power shot. nobody miscalculates that bad! 6lbs over is deliberate.
they fought at cruserweight in the end...i wonder if Ward will duck Kovalev at light heavy. no excuses now for Ward.
that would be amazing to see - Kovalev vs Ward
imho i think Ward has the beating of GGG at SMW. powerhouse at Middle but not sure it will translate to SMW and even then Ward is miles above anyone GGG has fought in the pro ranks.
hopefully Kovalev and Adonis gets made, that surely has to be done and that really will be fight of the year - deserves the attention FMW and Pac got.
