It is fair to say the relationship that Andy Lee has with Manny Steward ensures doors open more easily for the unbeaten contender than for those that are still knocking on the outside.

Good interview. Nice overview of the middleweight division by Lee. -
It's funny how Peter Quillin made light work of Craig McEwan while most commentators said Craig fought well. I'm not a "Triangle Theorist" but if I were:Gennady Golovkin, Dmitry Pirog and Peter Quillin: “All three are very good, especially Golovkin and Pirog. I’ve kept an eye on Golovkin’s career, since he beat me in the amateurs, and he’s been really impressive. He’s definitely one to watch. I’ve managed to get a good look at him. We’ve met each other and shook hands a few times so that could be one for the future. Pirog is a very good fighter. I told Manny he was gonna beat Daniel Jacobs before he eventually did! Quillin still has some work to do. He got a good victory last time out but Craig (McEwan) didn’t look too good, a tough loss for him but a brave fight for him to take.”
Hopkins beats Echols and says he's 1 of the toughest opponents he's ever faced.
Quillin beats Echols despite being the underdog predicted to being KO'd.
Lucian Bute KO's "The Contender's" Jesse Brinkley in 9 rounds.
Peter Quillin TKO's Brinkley in 3. Jesse is heard after round 1, "He has power!"
Quillin TKO's Troy Lowry in 2.
Andy Lee TKO's Lowry in the 4th round 3 years after.
Andy Lee wins Dennis Sharpe by decision going the distance in a 6 rounder.
Quillin TKO's Sharpe in 4.
Andy Lee TKO's McEwan in the 10th & final round just moments before losing by UD.
Quillin TKO's McEwan in 6 also on HBO.
Andy Lee is the #1 ranked Irishman out of 6 Middleweights.
Peter Quillin is the #1 ranked American out of 211 Middleweights.
Lee is 27-1, 19 KO's. 68% KO rating in 154 rounds. 8 fights in Europe vs who knows?
Quillin is 26-0, 20 KO's. 77% KO rating in only 97 rounds.
Quillin looks like the better fighter, has fought the better fights and yet is ranked #8 in the world 3 spots below Lee. HUH? I say Andy stops talking, forget about all the triangle theories and see who really is the better Middleweight.
My money is on The Kid Chocolate. Unlike Lee, no one has been able to beat him, not even on Twitter. Sergio Martinez lost that bout before deciding to fight Barker. LOLComment

Nice review, but Lee has some things wrong, especially when he says that Barker got Martinez on the right hand and could've done more if he had push the fight a little more. Barker in fact pushed the fight a little more, and that's the reason he was KOd. He tried to win, not just survive, but against a fighter like Martinez it was a very very hard task.
IMO Lee should fight Chavez Jr next year, but Arum is going to protect the mexican boxer so I don't think that fight is going to happen. Maybe Geale or even Sturm could be good options for him.Comment

Two posts ago in this thread you see how Peter "The Kid Chocolate" Quillin and Andy Lee have faired in the Middleweight Division. Last night in The Lower East Side, Quillin approached Lee and let him know that they would one day fight and Lee will eats his words.
While all the title holders play politics,this fight needs to happen for the sports. Let's go put the show on HBO!Comment
