Best Rising Middleweight

[Spicoli]

Korobov, Pirog and Lemieux strong. I'd personally take Smith and put him on the curb...know its premature but willing to bet that Jacobs will not be a primetime player, ever.

Not counting the title holders I would vote for Korobov.

I voted Sturm. I think he's the best middleweight outside of Martinez. Definitely the most accomplished from that list. Just wish he'd fight some big names in 2011

Lemiuex or Pirog if I had to pick, Lemieux has thudding power, pirog has power and a weird awkward style, granted only seen 2 of his fights. Sturm might be the best out of the list but is content with fighting mostly second tier guys in germany, his next opponent once again is tba in february.

Sturm is already an accomplish fighter. He kicked DLH ass.

Lemieux and Pyrog - People will understand how good is Lemieux after is fight with Rubio.

Lemieux has the same problem Valero had coming up, he's just blasting everyone out so it's impossible to tell how he'll deal with adversity. I really like him though, definitely one of the hardest hitters in pro boxing at the moment.

Pirog, if he ever fights again.

From what I saw of Macklin against a late fill in he is no world beater, no speed, no power, no clue. Andy Lee isnt even as big a puncher as Mayorga on the evidence of their last fights!

I voted Gennady Golovkin...he does look small at middleweight,but seems that he can punch...I mean he has got alot of KOs instead of the usual TKOs and from what I've seen he is decent enough technical boxer...would like to see him fight some bigger names...
