I think Eastman has missed the boat so far as winning a Meaningful Middleweight world title is concerned or fighting Hopkins...he should start to look for other goals, moving to Super Middleweight is one option i feel he should consider. He also needs to become more active.
Not so sure Steve689. Time will tell ofcourse, but Sam Soliman has recently won an IBF title eliminator so has to be accomadated at some point, likewise if Howard can keep hold of that European title there is always the possibility that the WBC may have a morality attack and order Hopkins to meet Eastman.
Assuming Bernard sees off De La Hoya, he's spoken of fitting another defence in before the end of 2004.
