    Okay GGG would be strong favourite but I think Andy's obvious power and underrated boxing ability could upset him.

    Let's not forget Andy has only lost twice; Once scandalously to Vera when it was stopped while he was throwing a punch and once to JCC Jr on peds.

    Andy stops him for me

    Uzcategui took out Julius Jackson in 2 rounds and he's a SMW, he hit Korobov for 12 rounds and nothing....Andy catches him once and Korobov is toast. Lee is a one handed Beast of a fighter.

    That was a massive punch which caught Korobov, and you see he catches him once and is toast, but Korobov took 14 flush punches and still didn't take a knee - that guy is hard as nails.
    But no doubt Andy can crack.

    Korobov vs Lee was like Postol vs Matthysse. Korobov was frustrated with Lee's game and not being able to reach him throughout the fight. It wasn't the one punch power of Lee that knocked him out. Lee wore him down from the distance.

    But GGG is also pretty good at cutting off the ring and Lee wouldn't be able to replicate his performance. GGG would knock it out. Although before the Korobov fight I'd say the same so I'll tend to not be too confident about this.

    He beat Lee in the AM's quite handily. Would be great fight in the pro ranks though. Would love to see it

    Lee is always good value for money. He may lose, but he'll go out on his shield.

    It really is a huge fight. People underestimate Lee all the time and rave about Lemieux but I think Lee would be a much tougher challenge.

    He knocked out Jackson, stopped Korobov and floored Quillin in a fight he should have won only for a refereeing error. He's the least respected champ around and it's a disgrace. There's a reason Manny Steward once said he's the greatest prospect he'd ever seen. When he KO's Golovkin he'll prove it to the world.

    That tells you how **** the division is when Andy Lee is seen as a top guy in it. I like Lee a lot but he's a very average boxer. But because he has a solid right hook people think he's an ATG at 160.

    Lee has a puncher's chance no doubt.

    There shouldn't have been a chance for any error. Lee lost to Quillin.

    Lee did not lose to Quillin, the second 'knock down' was a trip which shouldn't have counted. Lee won that fight and if this fiasco with Billy Joe Saunders finally is resolved I see him beating him by KO around the middle rounds. Then his last 4 fights will have come against unbeaten fighters and he'll have W3 D4. When will he get the respect he deserves?!
