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

[Dip_Slide]

Lemieux got stopped by Rubio, so he's a bum for ever more. Korobov got stopped by Lee, so he's a bum for ever more too.

Jacobs got KO'd by Pirog, but he would be the best name on GGG's resume.

Shit, even Quillin, who just got stopped by Jacobs, would be the best name on GGG's resume.

Funny how that works innit.

Jacobs came back from a KO loss and cancer to become a champion! Wtf did Koborov do since he got KOed be Lee a year ago? Fought an 8 rounder? Jacobs and Lee came back from their losses and showed us that they're for real, Koborov got KOed by the only B level fighter he's ever faced and still didn't show us what he really has after the injuries and the KO loss, so of course Jacobs would be by far the best opponent GGG has ever faced even though he has a KO loss.

lol garbage fight

Pickings are getting kind of slim. Hadn't really thought about Korobov.
Was thinking maybe Soro or Heiland. I'm just eager for Golovkin and Canelo to get their next fights out the way and see what September should/may bring.

Horrible fight. Would be nice if they got Lara or have a catchweight vs Degale. Highly unlikely though.

Lemieux came back from a KO loss to Rubio to win a real world title, which is something Jacobs hasn't done.

But did he get any respect for that from the hate squad when he put his title on the line against Golovkin?

Nope. He got stopped by Rubio, when he was 22 yo old, so that meant he was a bum.

Respect to Jacobs for coming back from cancer, but stopping Quillin, who has never beaten a real top class opponent in his whole career, does NOT make him better than anybody GGG has fought.

And while I'm the subject, I'm 100% sure that if GGG had stopped Quillin the way Jacobs did, less than a minute into the first round with Quillin on his feet and saying he wanted to carry on fighting, this place would still be going crazy with people screaming fix and demanding an instant rematch.

This is not a smart match-up for Korobov. I wouldn't mind Korobov vs. Monroe/Douglas/N'Dam though.

Soro did just drop his Euro belt too.

Couldn't of said it better myself!

All this complaining should be directed at those who have over the years, with Canelo being the current fighter to do it, have avoided GGG at all cost.

But GGG is a hype job right, but these guys wanted nothing to do with this hype job.

Peter Quillin, when he held the WBO title. At the time GBP wanted nothing to do with GGG taking on Quillin.

When Geale was a title holder, he wanted nothing to do with GGG.

Title holder Felix Sturm wanted nothing to do with GGG

WBC interim title holder Sebastian Zbik nothing to do with GGG.

RING/WBC champ Sergio Martinez wanted nothing to do with GGG.

Hassan N’Dam vacated a interim title to duck GGG.

Cotto wanted nothing to do with GGG.

B. Suanders wants nothing to do its GGG.

And GBP PPV star, WBC titleholder, and Ring/Lineal MW titleholder, Canelo Alverez wants nothing to do with GGG. Wait, he says he'll fight GGG if he "has to." If he has too, that's actually saying he wants nothing to do with GGG.

GGG has 21 KO streak which includes seven RING-rated MW fighters, including Proksa, Macklin, Stevens, Geale, Rubio, Murray and Lemieux.

So what if GGG called Floyd out, so did Ward, even going as far as to call him 'lil Floyd.' Where have we seen this game.

I think it's wonderful that Genady continues to introduce boxing fans to fighters they've never heard of. Like Apollo Creed giving a bum named Rocky Balboa a chance at the title. Golovkin is a real champ because he bucks the trend of fighting top guys and he lets 'the people' have a shot at the belt.

Garbage post but nothing out of the norm for Xi

in your feelings i see......

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.

I agree to a point, but it is not GGG's fault he reigns in a period of time with not a lot of name's that are good enough at 160 to take him to that place. And then it is entirely possible that he would make this "world class fighter who can give and take" a one sided beating per his usual outing.

We just don't know that answer, because the only guy at MW who fits that bill I believe is, Alvarez because of his youth and experience. (Still think Golovkin beats him spectacularly)
