This division has a lot of potential issues that may cause a high number of vacancies soon. Paul Williams is always uncertain as to what weight class he will fight at and his next fight is at 154, Felix Sturm is probably going to have issues getting fights because of his recent promoter split, Pavlik even if he beats Martinez may have to call it a day with hand issues. That being said....................enter the possible entrants.............

Gennady Golovkin - Boxer - Last fight was a 2nd round KO victory over Mikhail Makarov on 11/21/09, nothing scheduled.

Koji Sato - Boxer vs. Jae Myung Lee - Boxer - OPBF Middleweight title fight, in this choice the winner takes a pool spot.
