Who should Quillin fight for his first title defense?
Both Jacobs and Stevens have fought for a MW title, but both lost by KO.
Both have decent hand speed too, Jacobs with the better movement, IMO.
Stevens can at least be used as another measuring stick between him and Golovkin.
Jacobs looked good in his last fight and knocked out Lorenzo, who's fought elite MW's and didn't get kO'd by either of them.
Im just not sold on jacobs being a legit contender yet,, He still needs a solid win on the stevens-quillen undercard,, that would really make quillen-jacobs much bigger fight
That's what they should do.
Jacobs is with GBP, so they could build him up and make the fight bigger so that Quillin can headline at Barclays. Stevens on the other hand is not with them, so they can use him as a decent main or a pretty good undercard fight at Barclays. Either way, both guys are from NY and I'm sure it'll generate a lot of interest.
Give them more time to build Danny Jacobs back up

Hard pick. I think Jacobs would present more problems than Stevens. Everyone is wrapped around his loss to Pirog. Like Hatton says, it was a fokin fluke.
I don't think his loss to Pirog was a fluke. He was landing some pretty big blows in that fight

Jacobs is better and has fought better than Stevens.
GBP would do themselves a favor to build up this fight as a main even in Barclays instead of having him fight on an undercard.
lol that guy had no business in the ring. I think JAcobs is better than Stevens though, that would be a good fight, winner gets Kid Chocolate
He is, he also fought the superior comp in his last few fights
All depends on what GBP does now.
GBP are certainly more invested in Jacobs, so better to build that up rather than just make it happen. Stevens doesn't have any ties, so they can use a throw.
This fight was so short, they fit it all in one gif

And in my eyes Jacobs needs one more solid win to really look like a legit contender,, he needs to fight jermain Taylor, truex, Rubio, Andy lee etc
Sadly, that's Stevens only upside....measuring stick.
Jacobs had a decent win against a gate keeper. Guess Quillin has a fight to help Jacobs build himself more
Would be a good measuring stick fight and the plus side is it's still a big fight for Brooklyn

Good point.
The Rosado fight already made Quillin look bad. Maybe a Stevens fight can up his stock. I would be rooting for Stevens to pull off the upset. It would be an awesome fight.

I voted Stevens...
He is a good measuring stick to ggg
I would put Jacobs on the undercard the build a future fight
Good point.
