Comments Thread For: Matt Korobov Ready To Face Gennady Golovkin on April 23

Maybe if Korobov didn't take all of 2015 off, but he didn't look great last week vs a club fighter. Big NO for Golovkin/Korobov.

Worst case K2 should go with Lee if they don't get Jacobs, Lara, or Andrade.

This is basically a press release by Duncan...I'm sure he sees this as an opportunity to get some of his young guys on the undercard.

It ain't GGG's fault that nobody will fight him.Maybe he should take on a weak opponent and not knock him out and fight terrible just to draw a big name in.

GGG's record is quite underrated

Hell no!! He couldn't even take the punches of Andy Lee!

that is the problem of GGG. He knocks those guys out and makes them look like weak fighters but in reality they are worldclass fighters. If there wasn such fighter as GGG the middlewight division would have a lot of champions and everybody would think middleweight division is best. But ggg is levels above them so fans get false picture of his opposition

Lol this gotta be an early April fools joke... Dude looked like crap in last fight against a club fighter, HBO not even trying get him a good opponent but keep up the big drama show

[Lester Tutor]

Heilland. Best ranked 160 Southpaw atm.

I agree with some who say A) no one will fight him and B) he does make world class fighters look bad because he is a powerhouse. But the fact is, he needs a career-defining win and he has not yet had that. We need to see what happens when he fights a guy who has serious boxing skills, power, and can take it and give it. And before anyone says that there is no one out there who can do that, remember this, every fighter has an opponent who will have their number and will take them through hell and back. Every fighter that ever lived has faced that. Then we will see what he is made of. And any talk of how he would fare against the greats of all time needs to be restrained till he actually fights someone who is a near great or great.

That would suck.

Disappointed in Korobov, blew sweet opportunity.

GGG fighting Korobov now rings a bit hollow....

Korobov put himself in position to fight Quillin for the WBO title... But Kid Chocolate (Losing many fans in the process.) gave up his title to duck Korobov thus allowing Lee to fight Korobov for the title....

Korobov was in the drivers seat until Lee cracked him and put him down for the count... Korobov is a talented boxer, and if he would have had better respect for Lee's eraser, he would be champ right now....

Korobov might be fighting Canelo in May in a unification fight for big bucks but now he's fodder for GGG.... A big waste..... GGG destroys him in April if this fight comes off... Both Canelo and GGG lament Korobov's misfortune... They could be fighting a undefeated Champion hyped to the gills... A decent pelt to hang over the fireplace.

Korobov would be better served to fight a contender then BJS as Saunders continues to duck triple G...
Might have won that title and get paid well to fight GGG or Canelo in a unification fight...

Ohh, what might have been...
GGG is fighting a more skilled boxer in Korobov then he'll get credit for... It's just so disappointing that its under these circumstances...
