Which Middleweight?

Post by si7dog7 »

Well Murray has first crack at it.
Can he beat an ageing Martinez in his own back yard?

If not, will Barker dazzle or Matthew Macklin bludgeon their way to a world title.

Or will Andy Lee and team, get another shot and go one step further?

Or, do we over-value our strength in this division and none will reach their personal summit of achievement?

MW is a really loaded division and its going to be hard for any of them to win a belt. Best chance would be for Barker to get a fight against Geale which I think he would have a chance of winning on points.

Murray has first crack? Huh?

Are we ignoring Murray v Sturm, Macklin v Sturm, Macklin v Martinez, Barker v Martinez and Lee v Chavez?

Not one of them beats GGG.


Whoever gets Geale has the best chance.

They're all fringe world class in a very tough division. I don't think there's much between them ability-wise but Murrays relative freshness maybe puts him just ahead of the others. None of them are quite good enough to pick up a belt which is a shame as i think one of them needs to win in order for them all to be willing to face each other.
