Would it be one of the greatest comeback stories ever in boxing?Jacobs defending his title 3 times in one year against reasonable good opposition is good and better than the majority of today's champions. Many of today's champions only defend their title once or at the most twice a year against unranked cherrypicks.
Jacobs is very good but GGG is a hell of a lot better in my opinion. If things are equal I like the best fighters more than lessor fighters. I think GGG is a great fighter and I like the way he conducts himself outside the ring as well. GGG will fight any middleweight in the world but many middleweights don't want to fight him. I like Jacobs very much and as I said, he is a very good fighter but GGG is my favorite fighter. So I am not interested in this amazing comeback story of Jacobs at the expense of GGG. I want GGG to continue his reign of terror and his knockout streak of an amazing 21 KOs in a row. I want GGG to fight and defeat all the other middleweight champions including Jacobs so nobody can question that he is indeed the best middleweight in the world. I would be rooting for Jacobs to win if he fights anybody else but GGG or Canelo who is another favorite fighter of mine.

Jacobs has never given any indication that he would even consider fighting golovkin
The only thing I recall Jacob's saying when asked about fighting Golovkin is that he "wants to get paid."
I'm not even sure what he means, does he think he people expect him to fight GGG for free? Or maybe he's getting ready to price himself out.

Pretty much none-what so ever, even though it'd be his biggest payday by far.
Could you imagine how hard Danny would cheer-lead for a shot at Wade if he were to pull the upset?
It would be a hell of a story and Danny would ironically probably be a bigger star after he beat Golovkin than Golovkin is now.
That said, I think Andy Lee might beat him in June.

I don't really rate Jacobs as a fighter but if he managed to pull it off, then yes, one of the best comebacks ever.
