I agree, Macklin is a good fighter.
I think that's a mistake.
Dmitry Pirog is now the WBO mandatory. German Titov, Pirog's promoter, said last week they are not fighting Macklin, who pulled out of an earlier fight with an injury. They want to go after Pavlik next.
But perhaps he'll need to fight for an interim title, since HBO's Greenburg doesn't like East European fighters, and would prefer Pavlik fight someone else.
