BoxRec

Wasnt sure if this is the best place to post this, or the current scene?

Anyway, i was having a look on the ladbrokes website before and they've got some boxing specials (they always do for the Irish for some reason) and they offer 10/1 on Andy Lee winning a world title in 2009. That looks pretty generous to me considering his amateur pedigree, the promising start he's made to his career, and the praise he's been getting in America for the last few months.

Anyone agree?

He looks a world class prospect but Steward is moving him slowly. The bookies may be taking to heart some comments made by Manny Steward that Lee is this and Lee is that.

Nonetheless, Lee won't make 160 forever with his size. I believe he will win a vacant title or be the man to beat Abraham.

I can't stand Manny Steward, for the record.

I think he's over-rated nowadays.

Same.

what I like is that Lee already fights in Germany - as well as America and Ireland. Makes it that little bit more likely. Lee would be able to handle AA in 2 years, as you say. Lee has to make sure he becomes AA's mandatory.

lee will be quite capable of defeating abraham within 1-2 years, but dont be surprised of abraham's safety-first promoter, sauerland, talks him out of it, the same way they got chagaev to back out of his unification bout with sultan!! that stomach flu crap was easy to see through!!

Sauerland doesnt promote Chagaev, Universum does.

I doubt Abraham will still be a middleweight champion in two years.
