I have to disagree with this claim. Matt Korobov hasn't managed to gain a victory or a draw against any fighter better than the following names: Hassan N'Jikam, Daniel Jacobs, Andy Lee, Jesse Brinkley, Lukas Konecny & Gabriel Rosado.

Korobov’s amateur pedigree superficially suggests that this is the case, yet he hasn’t proven this against world-calibre opposition in the pro ranks. Only novices should be applauded for looking good against cab drivers, but the Russian will be 35 years of age soon, hence the reason why I'm not impressed by the nature of Matt's victories. So I won’t completely agree with your perception until he’s beaten someone credible.

I agree with you about Korobov leading on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage (perhaps not winning every single round though), but regardless, it was a competitive contest.

The Russian lost because of his inexperience. He hadn't been tested before and was absolutely clueless about how to weather a storm. He didn't think to take a knee, so the ref was compelled to stop the bout. Had Korobov faced better opposition beforehand, he might have known what to do in the situation he was placed in.

Nice detail.
And you don't think Quillin is a little faded?
He seems to me to be losing his speed. No question about his power at all, but you don't think a faster skilled boxer like Korobov will give him too much trouble?

The question that you've asked has been framed in a manner that assumes a stance that not only bears no relation to anything I've written in this thread, but it also strongly suggests that you've blatantly ignored my posts that directly describes my actual thoughts on the matter.

Why do you do that? Why fûckîng lie? You're only harming your own reputation with these atrociously ludicrous remarks and questions.

I asked the question in relation to this comment from you;

If we were to see a fight between Korobov and Quillin at 168lbs, I’d have to favour the American, because I think he appears physically bigger, has mixed with better opposition and I feel that he’ll likely improve his skills under Virgil Hunter’s tutelage. It’s important to note that I don’t feel very confident about my opinion though, despite the fact that Matt has never defeated a world-class opponent as a pro

Relating to your confidence in that opinion, and wondered if my observation that Quillin to me looked a little faded may have something to do with your lack of confidence?
I'm sorry if I hadn't made that clearer.
The reason I asked you specifically is you seem to have a decent handle on it.
I have seen quite a few Quillin fights but only one of Korobov's. So my knowledge is one sided only through that.
