    Sure, the fight for the recognized true middleweight title was an absolute STINKER.

    "However"

    With the undefeated Jermaine Taylor, Kelly Pavlik (also undefeated with a stellar record in terms of stats), Arthur Abraham...things are beginning to get interesting...

    HOT.....nah....

    Some good fight could be made though....

    Taylor vs. Pavlik
    Taylor vs. Duddy
    Miranda vs. Abraham rematch if Miranda can make weight without killing himself...



    Winky is gone to fight Hopkins....Sperm is ass...

    The talent pool in middleweight division is shallow from top to bottom.

    There is significantly more talent at 168, which is why it's incredibly generous for Merchant and Lampley to make the case last night that Taylor would actually be taking the easier path if he fought Calzaghe instead of the more winnable fight against Pavlik. :rolleyes:

    Watching Spinks get TV time is like :kick:

    No doubt he gets TV time still, probably ESPN2 FNF

    Hadn't DLH blown it against Mayweather, DLH-Spinks PPV would have sold over 2,5 million buys

    :doh: Imagine Floyd-Spinks

    All I know is the more people see Spinks fight, the less fans he's going to have

    I am but I think Winky is fun to watch and most disagree. He is an all action offensive fighter yet he is called a defensive wonder.

    We agree on that, I enjoy watching Wright as well.

    There isn't a high percentage chance for a knockout when he fights, but I don't consider that a pre-requisite going into a fight.

    I can't stand Winky Wright. I'm hoping that Hopkins retires him.

    Just how Jermaine Failure is recognised as the "True Middleweight Champion" is beyond me. He hasn't fought a middleweight since his last Fight with Hopkins. He didn't even beat Stinky Wright.

    There is NO true MW Champ.

    There isn't even a CONSENSUS #1.

    Middlweight is HOTTER...but it ain't HOT.
