    Future of the Middleweight division.

    Hopefully no one moves up because the division is shaping up with good oldies, gatekeepers, future stars, and new arrivals, etc...

    Established:

    Jermain Taylor
    Winky Wright
    Felix Sturm
    Sam Soliman

    Fast rising stars:

    Arthur Abraham
    Edison Miranda
    John Duddy
    Kelly Pavlik

    Possibly:

    Kassim Ouma
    Fernando Vargas
    Roman Karmazin
    Sergio Mora (hey, he is a "name" now I guess?)
    Ike Quartey

    Gatekeepers:

    Joppy? retired?
    Howard Eastman
    Macelino Masoe
    Kingsley Ikeke
    Antwun Echols

    Can Tito stay away? Will Margarito's shoulders grow anymore? Is Ike going to move up?

    Tito is finished, he is easy pickings now. Wright has the right stuff to dominate, taylor is a big factor too and Sturm can make noise. I see Taylor moving up, Wright fighting twice a year and the middleweight titles finding there way to Germany where they'll be contested for the next few years, much like the super middleweight division has been!

        I would definitely say that Sam is not established. He is a possability as long as his style can shape up.

            Two words: Jermain Taylor

            Beat Hopkins twice in a year and is undefeated. Winky Wright is his only legitimate threat, and Taylor sure as hell ain't no Tito Trinidad. Imagine if Tito fought Taylor? **** a one-sided decision, we'd see a wicked KO before the 6th.

                Read my first post...Taylor would KO Tito worse than Hopkins did. Wright might not get knocked out, but he will lose.

                    taylor is a joke, he will lose to the first guy with any skills that he fights just like he lost to b-hop. taylor is the biggest paper champ in the game after the chumps at heavyweight.
