Who is the number 1 Middleweight

[ykdadamaja]

Martinez choosing to fight Cotto does not make the situation any clearer. GGG is certainly the busiest and Quillin is certainly the most over hyped. Golovkin is the man but until Sergio flat out ducks him, he has to be given the title of number 1. Sturm should fight Golovkin but he won't. Quillin should just fight already.

No one wants to fight Quillin. Like a few others, people just don't want to fight. I'm sure you can get Quillin in the ring with GGG for a fair sum.

That's just not true. Quillin hasn't looked unbeatable in his two steps up in competition against Rosado and N'Jikam. Rosado and N'Jikam are good, but Quillin looked flummoxed at times in both fights. He didn't have a long amateur career so I bet he just needs to develop a bit more before he gets put in with the top dogs at middleweight, which is absolutely fine. A great fight for Quillin would be against a Sturm. Quillin doesn't have a big following anyway and a fight so there shouldn't be a problem with fighting in Germany and it's a unification fight. A fight with Sturm would go a long way to telling us where Quillin's at.

In my opinion, currently at 160, there is Martinez and GGG, and then the next group of Geale, Macklin, Sturm, Murray and Quillin.

Quillin knocks out everyone in that second tier... Danny Geale?? Macklin?!?! WTF?!?! Are you effing serious!?!? Did you even read what you typed??!?!?

Geale and Macklin are tougher then the other fighters Quillin has fought. I dont know why Quillin is rated and thats been my opinion for a long time. He seems so crude and I question his power given his performance v Rosado. Regarding his potential he is old enough as it is and cant see him making big improvements at this stage.

I think Billy Joe Saunders would beat him easily. If they fought now.
