    He was lackluster on the Pavlik/Martinez under card.

    The European lads are very good and all have good amateur experience.Pirog Macklin Lee Korobov Barker Mc Ewan are all very talented ex amateurs that could beat the others.The future is bright the future is euro.

    11-0 (8KO) jumping the gun on that judgement. Only thing i'm unsure about si his trainer situation. Hopefully Garcia will be a good fit but only time will tell.

    Forgot the Chudinov brothers.

    Golovkin, pirog, guerrero, jacobs Destroyed that the likes of joshua synder and james winchester coming up. Im just saying korobov gets hit a lot and does not have world class power. Dmitry pirog is the better russian pro.

    Korobov beat the living **** out of Winchester, that guy could just take one hell of a beating.

    I don't think Guerrero or Pirog hit as hard as Korobov. Jacobs i'm not sure (Korobov did drop Jacobs when they fought in the Amateurs though) I also think Matvey will get stoppages in alot of 10 and 12 rounders, he is a great body puncher and i can see him breaking guys down over the long haul.

    I also think Matvey's defense is quite good. We'll agree to disagree i suppose, till will tell.

    Golovkin and Lemieux have wrecking balls for fists.

    Alot of good talent on the way up at 160...of them all, Golovkin's my bet to be the best H2H middleweight over the next few years. He just needs to get the fights.

    At this point, an outside shot, in my opinion. Just my opinion though. I think Dirrell is more talented and that will probably cause Ward's stock to drop since they are in the same division.

    Im real sure pavlik is scared of williams when he just fought two tougher fights with martinez and hopkins. Williams is a walk in the park for pavlik compared to those guys.

    Pavlik is a multi-millionaire currently enjoying a Hawaiian vacation with his beautiful wife.

    And there you are stuck in your mother's basement with your needle dick in one hand, and a stack of bootleg tranny porn in the other.

    Your inferiority complex is understandable.

    I don't know if you saw the Martinez vs Williams fight. It was a hell of a lot closer than the Pavlik vs Martinez fight where some biased ******s were claiming Martinez would leave on a stretcher...

    160 is going to be a very deep devision in a year or two. I can see every one of the above holding a championship at some point in their careers.

    On the subject of Jacobs...it looks like his Grandmother just passed away if I'm reading it right...I'm not a twitter person:

    As far as I can gather he was very close to her. Assuming he's going to go forward with the fight which I believe he is, hopefully he can turn this into a positive ala Buster Douglas.
