    He did look a half decent fighter few years back but he's simply slumped in form maybe due to lack of ambition on his behalf.
    The Irish aren't ******* though so I'll give Andy Lee that over the likes of Quillin and Martinez.
    Lee would probably give Quillin all he could handle.

      K2 just don't seem to have much interest in it tho, and I can kinda see why, but it's a pity 'cos I think it'd be a great fight and a good test for Golovkin.
      K2 should make that Lara fight in Monaco if they can get it done. Golovkin drops and stops him imo.

        Sergio Mora is a versatile, tricky boxer who can move and be hard to hit. So he would provide Golovkin with a stylistic challenge that he hasn't seen yet.

        He also beat Proksa.

          I see Larry is making the odds now.

          any odds...any amount...don't care.

            They should consider him for a Monaco fight too, but he probably wouldn't take the money whereas Lara would.

            HBO don't like Mora, I think Sanchez said they wouldn't approve him when he gave an interview last year and obviously they can't work with GBP Lara.

              Oh I know, and don't get me wrong, Mora's a skillful, tricky b@stard (in the most complimentary sense).

              The styles clash does potentially make it interesting in the sense of seeing how GGG copes with a different style, but the result is no more in doubt than Golovkin fighting Lee.

              As for how the fight would look, Vera vs Mora I and II should provide some kinda insight.

              Actually, on that note, I can think of worse fights than Lee vs Mora - Lee's Kryptonite is power and aggression which Mora doesn't bring, so you end up with a pretty good skill vs skill, defense vs offense matchup.

                How does this odds thing work?
                Does 100-1 mean I can put say 1 million on lee and if he wins ill get 100 million?
                Is there a maximum limit?
                Whats stopping a person from teaming up with these guys and paying them 10 million to throw the fight after they put 1 million on the underdog?
                They would have still made 90 million.

                  They'll be a limit and a very small one at that with 100-1 odds.

                  There will be ways of getting around it but bookmakers don't want you to bet high on 100-1 odds.
