    He KO'd Derek Edwards, the guy that stopped Badou Jack, that's a feat neither Dirrell or Gilberto Ramirez could accomplish, he schooled and dropped Uzcategui twice who dominated Porky Medina who almost just beat DeGale. He was easily beating Lee at the time f the stoppage. He KO'd Jacobs in the amateurs, and beat Kovalev, Usyk, both Chudinovs, and a ton of other people.

    All of them. There is a reason Oscar doesnt want him in against Middleweights.

    This^^

    Korobov is really overlooked these days. Out of curiosity CST80, what chance do you give him against Golovkin? Seems to me that if Korobov's chin can hold up to GGG's power he has a pretty decent shot at the upset.

    He already beat two of the bums listed. And those two bums have a good chance against Canelo.

    And he is after another bum (Jacobs) if he doesn't get the bum Canelo in the ring,

    65/35 I think Lee's right hook if landed flush is harder than anything GGG is capable of throwing and Korobov didn't go down from it, so I do think Korobov can take GGG's power for a while and his awkward southpaw stance and underrated power would keep GGG at bay to an extent, but I think in the end GGG's skillset is a little deeper than Matt's and ultimately GGG wins by UD or very late KO.

    I would give GGG MASSIVE credit for beating Korobov, i doubt other posters will, but this is the fight i want to see at 160. Give Korobov some tune ups, maybe a rematch against Lee, BJS, Jacobs, lemieux or Saunders, cause he beats them all. Though obviously the punchers have a chnace if he hasn't learned from his mistakes. Should have took a knee, such an amateur mistake.
