    I think hes a very good fighter.. I was watching some of his fights yesterday. Id pick GGG very confidently however fights on short notice like this are always dangerous no matter who you are.. Im pretty sure thats why they are trying to pick a cherry.. We have all seen cherry picking gone wrong.. And D is no cherry so they will probably fight someone else.. I just dont want GGG to fight a blown up Junior Middle.. Thats just wrong..

    Never saw him either.

    I do think O’Sullivan is known a bit more to the fans. He’s colorful and will give it effort. I’d like to see him get a big pay day.

    He's nothing fancy. Just comes inside throws hooks (in wsb he did it, in pros he does it). You spoil, clinch and jab to stop it. He doesn't use his jab enough so a good jabber (BJS/GGG would land at will). He's not that tall so it makes sense he's not much of a jabber.

    He's a good, conventional boxer. Good body work. He's not the smoothest of punchers. Golovkin's punches are much more refined, direct with better technique same with Saunders. I like Sergiys pressure but a good jabber mover with especially a reach advantage beats this guy. Golovkin has slowed down so he may have more success but i think his jab much like in the Canelo fight is at least enough for him to get a decision win.

    Golovkin and BJS are both elite. This fella is a step down as of yet. He's not a clean puncher but he hits hard. His technique isn't elite. He doesn't use a jab enough.

    I mean he could be the next in line to carry Golovkin's torch but i don't think he can beat BJS or Jacobs. He seems a work in progress but at 30 years old. He'll need to be fast tracked and i'm sure he can be number 2 when GGG retires if Saunders is still in the middleweight division.

    Not sure I'd go that far, I think its a 4 way dance between, GGG, BJS, Derevyanchenko and Jacobs. Personally I think it comes down to Sergey and Billy Joe, I think the hype around GGG being shot to hell is being greatly exaggerated, he hasn't decline nearly as badly and people want to believe, although like you said, I think he lacks confidence in his gas tank lately, which makes him a little more apprehensive. That being said, Saunders is a style nightmare for him, and Sergey not only looks the part, but he has the skills and attitude to back it up, not sure who wins, but it isn't going to be pretty regardless.:lol:

    I think he's a very solid fighter, and extremely hard-working and dedicated fighter but he's not a stellar fighter.

    Korobov 2.O

    Does a lot well, but comes forward and freezes on counters.

    GGG wears him down with a jab and dropps him with a counter L oh hook.

    Wobbled GGG goes after him well placed power shots....

    Tko 5-7

    I think Billy Joe comes out on top against all 4. Derevyanchenko looks very good but against a certain level so far. With regards to GGG, his speed has diminished to the point he pushes his punches it seems to me at times, his gas tank has him thinking about throwing. Perhaps it is being exaggerated by myself and others a little. I seen apprehension in his face against Canelo, that little skip he does to catch up to opponents was there but he didn’t throw when in position enough to what he used to. The more I think of it I think Saunders mug’s him. Derevyanchenko looks to me like he could be outboxed by BJS and Jacobs, Canelo would be a fight i’d Like to see against him,and GGG would be a war after a round or 2. Do you think GGG has lost speed in his game in general ? You said he lacks confidence in his tank, which is plain to see as he didn’t throw as much, he has also for me doesn’t seem to have as much meat on his punches.

    This would be a very good fight, not an easy ride for GGG , but he'd win
