    Bro nothing about this fight is great guy took whole 2015 off just fought a 8 rounder two weeks ago struggled and then expect to perform well against golovkin in his next fight out?

      Well, at least its an opponent. Lara wants GGG, GGG doesn't want Lara. GGG wants Johnson but Johnson can't, GGG wants Saunders, not sure what's up with that. Screw it just fight and hope we get Canelo-GGG next.

          Taking off 2015 was not a good move. But apparently it wasn't all his fault. Dunkin implied that Top Rank basically gave up on him after the Lee fight and he couldn't land a fight.

            Korobov still has a slightly amateur style whereas GGG has fully evolved into a professional fighter. Might give Golovkin some problems but I don't see it being much of a fight.

            What's happening with N'Dam? Does he have a fight lined up?

              Probably the best fight that GGG can make since Johnson injured himself, Billy Joe is hiding in the UK, and Nelo needs more time to grow.

              Would be more attractive if Korobov was still undefeated and didn't sit 2015 out.

              Than again there's still Lee who might be available.

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

                      At least make Erislandy Lara an offer. If you call his bluff and he turns you down then ok, we'll never bring up his name again.

                      That would be a far more competitive matchup than a guy whose last fight was an 8-rounder.
