    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?
    He fought his last fight at LHW. I don't think he will be fighting at Middle any more.

        Pavlik and duddy are guys to watch out for, so is miranda. I think Duddy can be the guy to take over the division, he needs alot more fights though.

          Miranda aint **** this guy lack defense and barley uses the jab. Got rocked by eastman and won the fight by a premature stopage IMO. Miranda is not ready yet. If we wants to survive he better upgrade his defense and learn how to use the jab more often!

              Styles make fights, I think Taylor is going to beat Winky, but no way Taylor/Tito is an easy fight for Taylor...

                No fight with Tito will be easy. Unless it's versus Winky. Lil earmuff ****!

                  I have lost all respect for you dude! You know absolutely nothing about boxing. Duddy is not in the same ballpark as Miranda. He is a protected good looking white Irish kid with some skills and power and fun to watch. He will make a lot of money by cherry picking his opposition and selling out arenas to his fans (like you). I would bet my left nut that Duddy will not face a top guy for another 2+ years until they can rake in as much money as possible before he gets in ass kicked by someone of Miranda's caliber. At this point Miranda would KO him in less than 1 minute. Please people, take Duddy out of your top prospects list. He's gonna make a **** load of money, but it's not gonna be by beating world class competition!
