Daniel Jacobs is the modern day Gerald McClellan & Julian Jackson. Will stop GGG.

[!! Shawn]

Quillin, Mora, Ishe Smith, Truax, Fletcher.

Quillin is obviously his biggest win.

Mora has a better resume than someone like Andy Lee, I'd say.

Ishe Smith is a former world champion. He's descent.

Truax was a solid opponent, having only lost to Jermaine Taylor in a fight he dropped Taylor hard; overall, he's nothing special.

Fletcher was a pretty good amateur having defeated Adonis Stevenson and coming off a win over Max Bursak. He too was nothing special as a pro.

Overall, Jacobs has a descent resume, not the most stellar; but he does have the single best win in the division with a win over Quillin.

Is this the same Quillin who was getting his **** pushed in by Gabe Rosado?

The same Quillin that's better than anyone GGG has beaten at 160.

But if Quillin sucks, then what was Pepe La Pew? Funny how you count fights Quillin won, but won't acknowledge the fact that GGG, Jochin Alcine and Marco Antonio Rubio all have something in common.... Their best win is against Pepe La Pew.

So what you're saying is Jacobs has never faced someone with GGG's power and boxing ability...hmmm. Jacobs has already shown he doesn't have much of a chin but he does have power so we might finally get to see some GGG defense.

Jacobs is like Willie Monroe but with mutant-esque power compared to Monroe.

You might want to see the first two rounds of the Monroe fight. GGG cut off the ring and dominated him. After GGG felt safe he dropped his defense and got tagged like he did vs Kell which is stupid. You can even hear Abel telling him "We don't have to show how tough you are" or something to that effect. GGG in 7

More like Ward when he fought Kessler, rough inside fight most of the time where Kessler couldn't get off his power shots and whenever Ward felt he's out of balance or position he tied up Kessler and roughed him up even more. When not close to Kessler (which wasn't too long) he fought brilliantly on the outside and stayed busy with the jab to the head and body while always having the goal of tucking his chin down and going in to make it an inside fight.

That's the kind of fight that GGG won't be confortable with at all, pro style stuff, no sticking and moving no unnecessary movement and no midrange fighting for too long. If u take away GGG's power and try to make him fight without giving him space to extend while being the faster fighter, u can beat him, question is whether Jacobs can take a couple of GGG's punches because at some point of the fight he's gonna have to.

Great analogy and break down!...There's definitely a question mark next Jacobs chin...if he can hold up to GGG's punches then we may have a fight to say the least...

yeah pirog is a billion times better than ggg. he's like super ggg. ggg is lucky he didn't run into super ggg and super ggg pulled out of their fight with a broken back...spinal

Gerald McClellan was 6 ft with a 77 inch reach - 85% KO percentage

Julian Jackson was 5"11 with a 73 inch reach - 80% KO percentage

Daniel Jacobs is 6 ft with a 73 inch reach - 90% KO percentage

But it's not the mere fact that these guys have similar builds and enormous amounts of punching power. It's how these guys placed their shots and the leverage they got because of their builds when they landed. Jacobs is more comparable to McClellan than he is Jackson in the way Jacobs moves his feet, boxes and the speed and velocity he lands is punches; and how he goes for the kill when he smells blood. In fact, Jacobs is even faster with his combos when he has a wounded victim in front of him; much more lethal

Some people say Julian Jackson was chinny, but it is what it is.









People keep talking about Pirog, but you have to look at the context in those knockdowns. Jacobs was beating Pirog before that KO whether you agree or not. It's a fact.

GGG does not move like Pirog. He doesn't have the upper body movement. Golovkin is very robotic with his movement. Very rarely does he duck out of the way of a punch. However, he has shown great agility against Lemiuex. Problem is, that's really not telling me much since Lemieux's feet are an F550 and Jacobs feet are a Corvette.

Lemieux is also the same height as GGG with short T-rex arms. Jacobs is tall and lengthy and is therefore able to generate much more power and get more leverage than Lemeiux. Jacobs is also much faster than DL and much better in his delivery.

Who has GGG fought with the power, speed and boxing ability of Daniel Jacobs? Jacobs is like Willie Monroe but with mutant-esque power compared to Monroe.

If Golovkin drops his hands and lets Jacobs hit him like he let Monroe and Wade hit him, it's over. You know this. In the same breath, he can't afford to try and outbox Jacobs like he did DL. Yes, that statement is subjective, but I'm going purely off the eye test here.

Another thing to think about is although Lemieux was KO'd by Rubio, GGG never hurt DL to the head. All the times DL was hurt was to the body. Does this mean that Rubio hits harder than GGG because he was able to hurt DL to the head? Of course not which is why I don't like using analogies like that when talking about fights.

GGG has never faced someone of Jacobs caliber that has all the tools, power and threats of Jacobs. I'm salivating thinking about it.

Tom Loeffler has said that Jacobs is more of a threat than Canelo for a reason.

he dksab.........

Great points in this post.

Tying up GGG gets overlooked by many.

The key to victory for Jacobs would be going to the body, fiercely counter-punching GGG and demanding respect with each punch and tying him up before he gets off.

Great points.

This guy don't know a damn thing about boxin
