    He seems to have a fine amateur pedigree and has 17 kos in 20 wins..
    anyone seen much of him? opinions?

    Hits like a train and is well schooled. I think he will have trouble with skillful outside boxers though.

    You definitley should, hes entertaining and his power really is something to behold. I think it gives him a chance against anyone in the division.

    He seems very good. His amateur credentials are impeccable and he's transitioned well to the pro game.

    Good all-round boxer with excellent power. I'm hoping that the fight with Sturm gets made - that should go a long way in showing if he's as good as a lot of people, me included, think he is.

    He's pretty good, beat guys like Dirrell, Bute, Despaigne, Korobov and Andy Lee in the ams. Would like to see him vs Lemieux or N'jikam.

    :deal He isnt flashy very textbook but he is very, very effective and has serious power. He dont look very intimidating, but believe me he is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Maybe like a rangy mobile fighter might pose problems, but he did ko bute in the amateurs and golovkin is smaller so he knows how to handle bigger fighters. Keep an eye out for this guy I think him and Pirog are the 2 real threats for Sergio.

    I found it ironic when HBO was talking about the top middle weights, Kellerman talked abut James Kirkland as the next champion, and never once mentioned Golovkin or Lemiuex. I think either one ruins Kirkland. Unfortunately, it looks like we'll have to wait til 2012 for both guys to really get a chance to fight some meaningful fights.

    He da best. Wouldn't beat Martinez yet, but in 2 years' time, he'll be undisputed MW champ.

    Pretty good. I like how this guy takes his time, attacks the head and body, and stays on his toes. IDK if he is ready for Golovkin, but he doesnt have Sergios speed to where he can get away with fighting with his hands that low. Sergio can get away with it IDK about Proksa. Is he going to fight in the U.S. soon?
