Re: Will Andy Lee every get a world title fight?
On evidence of his last 4 fights he hasnt shown anything special whatsoever. If he had of been in there with a decent puncher he would have been knocked out again as he gets hit too easy which is why he is cut after most of his recent fights. He doesnt use his southpaw jab and long reach with the effect he should be using it. He is very one dimensional and could get found out very quickly by a top 20 ranked boxer.
I think one of his biggest problems has been his trainer Manny Stewart who bigs him up to be a certain World Champ and hilariously a hall of famer. Manny is one of the most over-rated trainers in the States made big by Tommy Hearns and any of the big name boxers he had moved on to different trainers to become world champs. He needs to ditch Manny, get a trainer with a record of working with southpaw boxers and put his head down, work hard and look somewhat interested! At the moment Lee is just a overhyped, over-rated middleweight.
On the plus side Lee has great power in his punches and he still has time on his side as he is only 25 and can improve his defence and get that jab going to cause some damage.
To answer your question yes i do think Lee will get a World Title fight in the next 2/3 years considering he doesnt get beaten by another bum a-la Brian Vera and he also has to start fighting a few fellow prospects and past World Champs. Will he win a World Title??At the mo i would say not a chance but he has the raw materials to do it and needs to start getting the head down. A good start would be ditching Steward!!!

As has been said lee has been poor in three of his last four fights the exception being the gibbs fight . He seems to have regressed since the gibbs fight.
On the coaching front i think a move away from detroit maybe the way to go . Lee dosent seem to have to much variety to his game and in my view a prospect should be visibly improving all the time
Answering your question i dont think lee would be able to win a world title for a long time
