    If he fights and beats Lemieux and doesn't get any title holders by the end of next year, he should move up


    He probably has a solid 3-4 years before he starts visibly declining...He is almost in his mid 30's....running short on time.

        I haven't seen a fighter who accomplished his level of things get his level of hype


        You'd think he'd be a lineal champion or unified with a dozen title defenses



        He is a good fighter but the hype level is ridiculous for what he has done so far


        Unify 160 and he is the real deal in my book......he is a good fighter but that shows me he is a great fighter
        Why would unifying against subpar opposition make him the real deal? Cotto and Canelo are good but Cotto is too small and isn't a full middleweight. Canelo will fight him and can definitely beat and end this hype job.

          Cotto and Canelo are proven A/B class fighters though naturally smaller......Fights with Quillin, and Andy Lee would be good match ups of boxer punchers


          the harder tests are at 168 but hey it would make his resume better unifying
