    Korobov sucks. He's not on the level of Ward, DeGale or Dirrell. All three of them would beat him silly if he ever goes up to 168. Korobov is not even at Andy Lee level. Probably gets KO'ed by Lemeiux and those other B fighters. Lol @ 160 fighters being as good as Ward, DeGale, and Dirrell.

        Damn. That means Andy Lee > super middleweight olympic champs. SMW is definitely the weaker of the two.

          These same people pretend Super Middle weight is some deep division but it simply isn't.

          And it wasn't 5 years ago when Ward won the Super Six. Just cause you put a bunch of guys in a tourney doesn't mean it's a great division. Good but not great.

          Three of the Super Six members didn't even fight in the division.

          Froch is tough but lets be honest he's a B fighter at best. Abraham was ranked top ten after one fight against an unranked fighter. Kessler was dominated by Calzaghe. Ward was a nobody and Dirrel beat nobody.

          And now Abraham is #1 in the division and still has only beaten one ranked fighter in the division.
          If you're going to call a Froch a b level fighter then everyone in 160 is a c level. Froch is a HOF FOH. I don't even like Froch but hes a A fighter no question

            Dude couldn't last more than 6 rounds with Andy Lee and you're gonna tell me he's as good as Ward, DeGale, Dirrell? Lol. Andy Lee was knocked out by freaking Chavez Jr and Brian Vera. Come on lol.

              You're bringing up amateur credentials to try and desperately explain why SMW is better.

              Korobov >>> Ward, DeGale, Dirrell in the amateurs

              But ok lets see. Murata is a Gold Medeal winner at the Olympics. That's one for the MW. GGG was Silver at Olympics. Khytrov has a World title. Korobov has multiple World titles. etc. The argument for SMW is looking pretty grim.

                Quit. You're just making SMW look even worse. Chavez and Vera > Lee > Korobov > SMW.

                      But your the one using amateur accomplishments to prove a point and you can't be offended someone disapprove your theory.

                      Korobov was the better amateur of the four. And since Lee beat him he must be just as good as well.

                      So either you admit Korobov and Lee are just as good as Dirrel and Degale or take back your original argument.
