        Middleweight is one of the best divisions in boxing, home to three of the top 20 boxers in the world.

        I don't think SMW and JMW compare at the moment.

        But keep trolling.

          Miguel Cotto who never fought at middleweight before getting a title shot and can barely get up to 155

          David Lemieux won't be champ for much longer

          Daniel Jacobs seems to be the only legitimate champ because he is actually making legit title defenses
          What should poor Golovkin do? Ward won't fight him.

            I wasn't choosing to focus on those classes right now. Middleweight is an ACTUAL weight class lol.

              After he beats Lemieux, he should fight Quillin, Lee, and Canelo if Canelo beats Cotto to start. Then move up to SMW or LHW. He should have moved up a while ago.

                  Middleweight is rather underwhelming. But due to no fault of GGG. Quillin shamefully ducked him and he's clearly head and shoulders above the rest of the division. That isn't his fault however.

                  People are giving Jacobs a lot of flak. And not rightfully so. Yes, he's been ko'd by that awol Russian kat, (name isn't coming to mind). But he at least is fighting Pete. Should be exciting. I just wanna see the fights that should be made getting made.

                  Obviously Cotto doesn't intend on fighting the true 160lb elite. And honestly, I'm ok with that due to the fact that as the 3rd best selling fighter of the last era, (Floyd/Pacman/Cotto), he's fought the better fighters pfp at 147 where they all set up camp.

                    They have only one fighter in the top 10 and he is only there because he is undefeated against tomato cans.

                      No, he is doing just the right thing. Waiting for Cotto/Canelo, there's a superfight for you. Golovkin is smart, unlike other fighters.
