Old Super-Middleweight/Middleweight/Light Middleweight Threads

[killersheep]

Ok here are the potential candidates.

The winner of Antonio Margarito - Boxer vs. Roberto Garcia - Boxer on 5/8/10. - Margarito is back from his suspension and moves up to Light Middle to try to get his career back on track. Garcia is trying to get a marquee win.

Joe Greene - Boxer - 2004 National Golden Gloves champ, only 24 years old, been absolutely dominant where he should be dominant, doesn't have any big names on his resume, but the potential is there.

Erislandy Lara - Boxer - Cuban National Champ 2000, 2005, 2006 and 2007, Gold Medalist Central American Games 2006. Every one of his fights has been televised he is moving up to fighters with recognizable names as a last stop before going for some titles.

The winner of Shawn Porter - Boxer vs. Raul Pinzon - Boxer - Porter was the 2007 National Golden Gloves champ, a 2008 Olympic alternate. Pinzon is a typical Colombian power punching specialist with only one of his victories going the distance (94% of victories coming by way of stoppage.

Nobuhiro Ishida - Boxer - Ishida is currently holding the mandatory (interim) status for the WBA (Yuri Foreman's title), he has also in the past held the Japanese and OBPF Light Middleweight titles.

Garcia hasn't done shit to earn a nomination for me & Margarito will only get credit from me when he beats an opponent who might at least make me think some of what he used to do was sans plaster.

Greene gets in on promise, I think he has what it takes to be a threat here.

Lara has more than earnt the spot with wins over Brewster & Perez.

I'm not all over Porter like many are because he's a Manny sparring partner, but Pinzon is at least a slight step up & was involved in what might have been FOTY last year if anyone had seen it with Torres.

Ishida hasn't done enough to be in the pool for me regardless of being a mandatory.
