Comments Thread For: Korobov on Golovkin: I've Waited a Long Time For This Shot

[Dr Rumack]

Shoot, he wants no parts of GGG....I think he actually vacated a title to avoid fighting him a few years back.

Yeah he did but circumstances have changed. I see he's 4th in the IBF rankings.

GGG vs Lara would sell way more than GGG vs David.GGG is running out of opponents soon he'll have to pick a below average fighter. Haymon gave Lara the OK to fight GGG it's all really up to K2

His IBF eliminator with Khurtsidze was cancelled just days before due to the ********* attacks, but never rescheduled. Then he did a training camp with Liam Smith as a sparring partner and said he was interested in fight BJS. Don't think he's looking for GGG.

What makes you think that? It's not like Lara is a draw, more like anti draw. Casuals hate his style, and love Lemieux all action style. Most that have seen his feeble effort vs Canelo will try to avoid his future fights

Also how do you know Haymon oked it? There's a video of Sam Watson refusing to answer whether Lara could fight on HBO

This is fkin bullsht.

It's a clear duck of the #2 MW in Daniel Jacobs.

Loeffler himself said Jacobs would be up if BJS, Lee or Canelo fell through. Anyone defending this is painfully wrong.

It's a shame Korobov hasn't lived up to his potential, cos skillwise he's Golovkin's best opponent to date.

Agreed. I like Korobov as an opponent, but I do not like the timing. If he had beat Lee or came back strong after that defeat it would be a more interesting fight. Right now though, how could anyone really pick Korobov to win?

Wonder if Loeffler will comment on why they didn't pick Jacobs. That would be a more exciting match up.

Getting kayoed by Andy Lee and then doing nothing for a year before beating one clubfighter is hardly credentials to fight GGG. That said, he may be the best opponent willing to fight GGG. Daniel Jacobs IS NOT going to face Golovkin.

He won't and some of his sorry @ss fans will let him get away with it. He barely even acknowledges Jacobs exists. Thank God for Google because I literally had to hunt down his responses on Daniel Jacobs.

HBO is not an issue with GGG-Jacobs for GGG has already met his minimum 4 fight contractual obligations as of Monroe Jr. Why people won't acknowledge this is twilight zone material.

To take it a step forward, Loeffler himself has gone on record saying GGG-Jacobs is possible and would've been next if they weren't able to secure BJS or Canelo. Loeffler has also said he has no issues with Haymon/PBC. Loeffler has also said Jacobs is bigger and more dangerous of an opponent than Canelo. So why the fk are we hearing about Matt Korobov?

It's a blantant fking duck regardless of who people thinks wins this hypothetical fantasy match. You don't get to avoid the #2 MW because everyone thinks you'll beat him. No.

And people need to stop bringing up this HBO BS when GGG has already fulfilled his minimum contractual obligations with HBO. Not to mention, GGG fought Adama on another network WHILE he was signed to HBO.

This twilight zone sht is blatant insanity.
