Man he is not doing anything different then the other middleweights..except he is winning all his fights by ko like a beast..that what the fans want to see ko's
Na. Jacobs, Wilder and Thurman are always in exciting fights that usually end in KO's for them but they're missing a very important thing. It is what some groups of fans say they want to see but they want to see it only from certain fighters. It's a pretty black and white subject.
I'm literally not a fan of any of those fighters bar Spence.....
Mayweather is one of my favorites ever....What does he represent exactly? Winning a legit world title at 21 and being p4p for like 20 years? Don't even play that entertainment stuff because it is embarrassing..... Floyd was sensation early in his career before his hands started giving him trouble.
Floyd also has one more knockout to watch than Ray Leonard so he's not doing too bad in that regard.
Ward, I like as a guy but not much as a fighter. But what does he represent exactly? Winning a Gold Medal and then fighting all comers before being sidelined by promotional issues to then come back and fight one of the most feared fighters in the sport? Oh yeah what an assh0le right?
Seems like you hate them because they excel and undermine your idea of what boxing should be and Mayweather does it as THE cash cow in the sport.
No, boxing is the sweet science, so that was your first mistake. If you want the hurt business go find some bareknuckle boxing...
Do I like wars? Yeah of course...But what's better Ward/Gatti or Corrales/Castillo or even further Manny/Marquez? The higher skills just make for better fights.
My favorite fighters off the top of my head are Floyd, Frampton, Cotto, Leonard, Broner, Lara, Fortuna, Pep, Rigo, Toney, Duran... Do I get frustrated when Rigo or Lara won't engage? yes....When Cotto boxed Margs instead of attacking....yes....When Broner boxes lazy and doesn't try like against Porter.....Yes but not because it's boring...I don;t find boxing boring but I get disappointed when they don't perform to their full potential.
Haven't the majority being picking to watch Mayweather? So by your logic how can he be boring?
You are a fool. Do you get that? What you say is embarrassing and if you said it aloud in front of actual boxing fans they would laugh at you.
I'm not giving you a story on it I'm just going to get straight to the point...
Floyd Mayweather doesn't care about legacy or entertaining his fans he fights for money he doesn't care what you think about him he is an opportunist he doesn't want to be tested If he did he'd have have a much different outlook on his resume but fact remains his career is the way it is and you can pick holes all over the place from it.
People dislike and disrespect Floyd on the daily If you don't notice this then perhaps you've just been turning a blind eye for one person who gives him props I see 4/5 more who point out the flaws in his career which are many.
Ward is a man who sued a man on his death bed that is obviously a person of moral high standing.
End of discussion you won't win this one.

lara one of your favourite fighters?! You enjoyed his performance against canelo then, when he ran away the whole fight. If you like his style it explains why you detest GGG lol
I detest him because I don't think he's great.....okay..
And Yes Lara, who has handspeed doesn't "let" fighters hit him in the face lol
I also really enjoy Canelo
GGG though I find slow and plodding...Smart and effective yes..but boring
But that's hate right?
When it comes time to make the fight I assume Haymon will be the one making the offer.
Why would you assume that? Not only is Jacobs the B side, Haymon has never paid out that much in purses. Doubtful he starts with such a wide underdog
That's guarantee money, of course he was gonna get PPV upside just like Lemieux who brought a belt to unify.
In any case sounds like he passed on 2-3m which is way more than this mando is worth

You don't need to like the fan favourite black fighters to not be considered racist imo.
I'll always root against Mayweather and Ward because what they stand for is bad for the sport of boxing they bring nothing to the table and they quite honestly don't deserve a big fan base.
Boxing is the hurt business fans fill stadiums to be entertained not to be bored this is why guys like Golovkin, Spence, Inoue, Khan and guys like Froch they bring it when it matters most and that is why they deserve big fan bases.
It's just a simple little case of what is most popular boring fight style or an entertaining fight style and you know which one the majority will pick.

1.5 is chump change considering it would probably be an HBO PPV.

I made a career-high, on record, of $1.5 million for the Quillin fight. And to have it kind of close to that, I was like, ‘Wait a second. I could fight two Peter Quillins and make the same thing.’
2 years ago he said he wasn't ready. Not the same as saying he doesn't want it. Jacobs has always been an honest guy so I don't see no reason to take him at his word. I'm going to laugh my ass off if Canelo gets Jacobs because GGG's team try's to play hardball.
Jacobs just said very recently (a month or two ago) that he doesn't want to fight Golovkin for a year or 18 months. Hard to believe he's serious about fighting him now. I hope he is, but I won't believe it until it happens. Lots of guys say they want to fight Golovkin when they don't want to, Jacobs included. Let's hope he's serious this time.
Kind of hard to believe Jacobs calling Golovkin out when he has already said he doesn't want it, and the reason Golovkin is fighting Brook is specifically because two fighters who called him out and both b*tched out when the time came to make the fight.
Until Jacobs proves otherwise, I'll assume his talk just as empty as everyone else who says they want to fight Golovkin but are nowhere to be found when it's time to do so.

Just shows you dont know what you are talking about or you are trying to spew lies and bull**** to suit your agenda.
If Jacbos wanted to face GGG that fight would have happened already. Loeffler actually talked to Danny and made him an offer which was same as his highest payday vs Quillin. 1.5 mill and Danny said its chump change and said he wants to build the fight and face GGG when the fight is marinated, in 1-1.5 years. Danny is very inactive and cant sell tickets and has a paper belt, if he beats GGG he would become a superstar, so whats the reason not to take the GGG fight for $1.5 mil? I mean Canelo paid Lara $1 mill and he was happy. Wtf do you guys think Jacobs is worth?? FOR WHAT?
Now FINALLY that Jacobs got a ton of critique, he is now slowly realizing he has to face GGG or he can also just retire and become another clown in the sport.
1.5 is chump change considering it would probably be an HBO PPV.
There is no such this as 'doesn't stand a chance' in sports.....especially boxing.
You should know that by now.
Sure we can bet....you said GGG stops him in 4...........I'll gladly take that.
I'll never bet on a 34 y/o guy that drops his punches to his waist like a drunk William Joppy.:lol1:
A fighter that backs out with his hands down will one day pay for it..I don't care how much momentum he is carrying.
GGG is THERE TO BE HAD.
He's slipping badly and nobody seems to notice.
Remember this post.
Again, WE SHALL SEE! My money is on GGG
So you dont count GGG's regular title defenses right??
to be honest? no, and i don't care. i enjoy fight by fight, not just GGG, any fighter that i follow.
why do you care so much about it? nobody is ducking jacobs the way they (jacobs included) have been ducking GGG.
Danny Jacobs has so many skills. Damn look at him.

Yep his chin is soft as baby sh1t
I'm in the minority but I think if he had a decent chin he'd have a chance against Golovkin.
Still want to see the fight but you just know that when Golovnin touches his chin it's a wrap.
