    Have to say Gennady Golovkin, the man that KO'ed Bute in the amateurs.

    i remember seeing golovkin vs that russian sergej khomitsky!

    now khomitsky gave the very talented world class fighter khoren gevor a very tough competative fight over 12 rounds not long ago.

    then novice golovkin beats him by tko.

    and indeed he ko´d bute. with a single blow!!!!

    Of the guys I have seen I have to say Mean Joe Green and Andy Lee. I haven't seen Golovkin, so I have no opinion. If he's better than Lee and Green, he must be something.

    two years younger. golovkin hicked lees ass in ams. golovkin was the junior world champ, the senior world champ, olympic silver medalist, has beaten better fighters as a pro. hits harder, is far stronger.

    trains at a better gym with better fighters than lee. kronk is all history. universum gym in hamburg is way ahead these day.

    andy lee would do well to last five rounds:lol:

    golovkin is only 9-0 (8) but already ranked

    Of those I've seen, it's Andy Lee.

    I've not seen Gennady Golovkin, but now I'll be watching.

    let me put it this way: is there anyone who has seen both of them fight and actually believes that lee can hold a candle to this guy???

    I'm going to go with Greg Proksa, he is more talented then both Golovkin and Lee, from what I have seen. Though he is campaigning at 160 right now, he will probably aim for a title at 154 lbs first.

    trust you??

    why?? you seem stuck in the 80´s when the USA was the hotbed of pro boxing.

    now the eastern euro guys are kicking their ass. povetkin was only taught in europe........and name one american fighter who can hang with him??

    the gyms in germany are filled with fighters and trainers of former east germany and especially the former USSSR.

    gennady golovkin is like a middleweight version of povetkin. he beat everyone there was to beat in the ams. what did lee ever do?? get himself eliminated by some unkown in the olympics:lol:

    gennady spars with guys like sergej dzinziruk, felix sturm, khoren gevor, zolt erdei, jurgen brahmer, thomas ulrich and many others.

    he dont need some run down us gym where the fools leave all their fight in the sparring sessions (gym wars are a joke).

    if you ever saw him fight, you´d know better. trust me.:yep

    Golovkin & Lee are both very impressive to watch & are top prospects no doubt.
    Also been impressed by Peter Quillin.

    Out of Australia its worth keeping an eye on undefeated duo Daniel Geale & Daniel Dawson who are fighting for the IBO Middleweight Title later this year.

    Peter 'kid chocolate' Quillin by a ****ing distance!!, the man is a monster, 15 and 0 with 12 ko's, he's got everything, massive power, reach, height, speed, skills, movement and his defense is good too, the man is killing it right now and as he's just turned 24 he's only gonna get better!!, i truely believe he is the man who will take out Pavlik in the coming years.
