I agree, Jacobs has power but nothing else. You honestly believe he is the most talented guy in the division? GGG, Canelo, Saunders, Lee and Eubank ring any bells? You really have to watch more boxing. Either that or you're just trolling.
You have to be ****ting me Jacobs has speed, power, ring IQ and athleticism to be a force against anyone. He biggest question mark is his chin and his defense gets him in trouble when he is too aggressive.

i aside from Golovkin Jacobs is the most talented and i am not just saying that because of his win vs. Quillin... that can happen to anyone...
this isn't some nobody, Daniel Jacobs was an excellent amateur, i believe he was a golden gloves winner and national champion in the US (i could be wrong).
His one loss to Pirog was unusual and i felt like he was winning that fight until he got caught (unlike the HBO crew)... thought it could have gone either way before the KO came. I also understand that he was diagnosed with cancer shortly after the fight and was fighting for his life... this unknowingly could have effected his performance... not that we will know for sure but what i do see from him is when he boxes smart... he isn't a guy who would be easy to outbox and he has that power to keep GGG away. He has the size that can give GGG problems. Its a good fight... the other guys you mentioned are also good fights i just think DJ is tougher for GGG then the other guys.
It's hard for me to pick between GGG and Kovalev so I'll cheat and do more than one boxer. I would like GGG to fight Canelo, Jacobs and Saunders to establish unquestionable dominance at 160. I want Kovalev to KO Ward, Stevenson and whoever is the best remaining light heavyweight. I'd like my best new favorite Spence to fight Brook, Garcia and the Thurman-Porter winner to become the best at 147 if he is good enough to do so. Spence could fight Bradley after that.
Jacobs is the most talented 160 lbs as far as i am concerned its not about his belt which really means nothing to me. He has the skills and size to do the most vs. GGG.
Canelo is just a big name fight so i think it would be good and would be interesting at times but i favor GGG strongly in that one. Jacobs is a 40/60 or 30/70 fight in my opinion... don't let the Pirog and Mora fights fool you... Jacobs got major power, speed and skills... he does get reckless at times but still has the best chance vs. GGG.

Juan Francisco Estrada
At Flyweight - Roman Gonzalez II, Amnat Ruenroeng and Donnie Nietes(if he moves up before Estrada goes to 115).
At Super Flyweight - Carlos Cuadras, Naoya Inoue or Rungvisai
The best thing about it is that Estrada has stated that he wants to move up all the way to Super Bantamweight and wants to hold titles in 4 different weight divisions. If that's the case then he has a lot of exciting and interesting fights on the horizon. To make matters even better he is just 26.
I'll put my top 3 active boxers atm.
1. Wlad
Fury rematch, if he wins, go after Wilder(if he beats Povetkin), and then King Kong or Joshua.
2. Bradley
Porter/Thurman winner, Garcia, and then Crawford/Spence.
3. GGG
Canelo(doubt it), Jacobs, and then Saunders to unify all titles.
Take out the politics and excuses and just list the 3 fights you would love to see your favorite active fighter in(against active fighters)
GGG next three fights I want to see him vs Wade, then a rematch vs Monroe, and then a rematch vs Wade ;)
Andre Ward - Kovalev, DeGale, Stevenson.
I don't know how possible these fights are since DeGale and Steve are Haymon. But those are the fights he needs to go forward with his career. Jack, Zurdo, Andre Dirrell or Anthony Dirrell would also be good match ups when they come up to 175. DeGale is already talking about 175, and he should be considering it because he looked so frail in his weigh in versus Bute.
Two things with the GGG fight. Will Boo Boo's chin hold up. Also his biggest flaw is he has a tendency to get a bit wild and his balance is pretty bad when he does. If they fought today, I think that gets him clipped. I'm hoping a little more seasoning will sort that out and if thats the case. He will be a serious handful for GGG imo.
As for Canelo. I just want to see that fight to watch Canelo take a 12 round beating lol.
If it does 12 and he is on his feet, they'll give it to Canelo regardless of how bad he lost.
As far as Andrade I see what you mean vs GGG but GGG gets sloppy as well when he doesnt have a stationary target.
I'll save my prediction when I see both in a little tougher....both are uber talented.
