    I haven't suggested Cotto beats him, but I rein up short of co-signing with MaliBua that he definitely knocks Cotto out cold. He didn't manage to knock out 42 year old career junior middleweight Grady Brewer with eight prior stoppage losses, either...

    Phenomenal amateur record...which just makes his paltry LOC in the pros so far all the greater a shame.


    Andre or Anthony?

    You're right, the aggressive version of Korobov would probably stop Cotto.

    I've just come not to count on that version of Korobov showing up.

    When he does, though... yeah. That stoppage of usually iron Ossie Duran was mighty impressive.

    He also holds amateur wins over Ismail Sillakh (302-16 world amateur silver medalist), Alfonso Blanco (world amateur silver and bronze medalst), Sergiy Derevyanchenko (world amateur bronze medalist), Danny Jacobs, Darren Sutherland (Olympic bronze medalist and he also beat Degale like x 4 or something and Edwin Rodriguez), Sebastian Zbik, and Jarod Fletcher (beat Adonis Stevenson and Degale in the amateurs). He stopped most of them as well, mostly on the outscored rule.
