I thought Derevyanchenko looked better than Khytrov. I would also welcome Andy Lee instead of Heiland.

of all the weight classes to do this with.. does anybody really care who comes on top?

The current top 15 has Eubank at #2, definitely would rather see him in there than fighting that Australian guy for the 168lbs IBO belt.

Heiland/Eubank
Lee/Khytrov

that would produce a solid contender for GGG.

1 .- Jorge Sebastian Heiland (Argentina)
2 .- Chris Eubank Jr. (GB)
3 .- Ievgen Khytrov (Ukraine) NABF
4 .- David Lemieux (Canada)
5 .- Andy Lee (Ireland)
6 .- Ryota Murata (Japan)
7 .- Avtandil Khurtsidze (Ukraine)
8 .- Curtis Stevens (US) AMERICA
9 .- Sergey Derevyanchenkov (Russia)
10 .- Maciej Sulecki (Poland)
11 .- Peter Quillin (US)
12 .- Dwight Ritchie (Australia) OPBF
13 Willie Monroe (US) * CBP/P
14 .- Matt Korobov (Russia)
15 .- Brian Rose (GB) * CBP/P

No

Curtis Stevens and David Lemieux both looked like dog crap in their last fight

Good fights but you never know if these "tournaments" will ever actually take place.

Heiland and his team should have been staying busy and trying to build a profile instead of waiting for a good payday. Golovkin would obviously fight him if he had to but it puts him in a no win situation because he would be criticized for fighting someone nobody has ever heard of.

If the names are too big, the tournaments seem to always fall apart - like when they tried them at 147 and 154. Outside of Eubank and Lemiuex, I don't think these other MW's have better options than to pursue than this.

Sounds like Heiland's not happy, I love it.

A four-man tournament for the middleweight mandatory spot is being planned.

Heiland manager upset over the tournament assignment...

"Please trust the WBC. This decision is best for your kid," @wbcmoro tells Heiland manager.

The top 4 middleweights in that tourney could change but for now they are Heiland, Ievgen Khytrov, Curtis Stevens, David Lemieux.

**** Heiland, he's just sat on the #1 position without doing anything for last 2 years. All those other guys wreck him. I could see Lemieux dropping out to purse Canelo or Saunders and maybe Lee or Murata taking his spot.

without a doubt this is good news.about time these clowns started fighting each other.

wtf happened to heiland? i literally have not heard anything about him in years since he KO'd Macklin in ireland.

**GMAN SUPREME** · 12-14-2016, 01:31 PM

heiland is supposed to be fighting andy lee early next year.is that still going down?
