I got Andrade to shine in 2015


HW- Wilder
Fury's mouth gets his mouth in what is butt won't get him out of Fury-Wilder. Probably finish off with Povetkin or a fan-friendly match with a past his prime Arreola.
Wilder wins big in 2015. Little chance of him fighting Wlad this year- though Wlad may push 4 it.

MW- Gennady Golovkin
GGG vs Quillen in 2015 no reason not to happen. GGG wears down PQ-
GGG in 2015 is compared to Haglar & Monzon.

LW Terrence Crawford quietly cleans out his division in 2015. Little chance of major promotion for him. Too many big fights this year will overpower his name, but he should unify the division.
It's sad that the only one on this list about to do REAL work is Crawford. All because Crawford is the only one with all of the "ups"- he is at a new weight, with new guys, going in for titles, and will have challengers who feels he is too small so he will always be the underdog if only a small odds fav to win any of these.

GGG/Quillen will not happen in 2015. Quillen's boss knows better at this stage. A year ago it would have been ok, but he KNOWS now GGG is the real deal.

Andrade has some ups, but there is no sure-shot he beats Lara. lolol.... so, let's see him get past Lara.

In Wilder's case, the fights with Pulev and Povetkin at least would prove he is legitimate. We know he will not fight Pulev and probably will wait til the last minute to fight Povetkin. He will have a better chance at fighting Fury, but Fury is no world-wide record beater.

Wilder is bullshitting on this hand issue. Word has it that his hand could have either healed all together, or that he could have rehabbed it better and quicker. He wants to linger around to get a shot at Wlad if/when Wlad comes out of the Jennings fight.

Wilder is doing shit.
Terence Crawford moving to 140, fighting on 4/18
The link above speaks a bit about the size factor you mentioned. It also give the political downfall: If Crawford is Top Rank---how will he get in with GBP or Haymon fighters? Thats why I predict he will be a force (quietly). Also interesting is that the writer of this article thinks Mathysse is possible, but Crawford aint ready for it. I disagree. Everyone @ some point has to dive in to the deep waters.

I think Andrade had been overlooked and underated, while Lara has been overated. I can't argue that both Lara's losses to PW & Canelo could have gone either way. We will see if these two dance. I don't think Andrade will expose Lara, rather just beat him with more tools in the shed.

Notice I didn't even mention Pulev as a choice for Wilder. Real deal or not- if he is matched correctly- he will shine & America will have a HW at least for 2015 to boast.

2 dark horses for 2015: The Dirrell Brothers. Bad managment with Andre has hampered him, and I think Bika gave Anthony some good sharpening. I won't sleep on these 2 for 2015. Interesting how the SMW division was hot for some years and now its fizzling.
If Andre Dirrell beats James DeGale, Andre Dirrell against Andre Ward is the logical fight.
