Loeffler says they're going to make the Jacobs fight 1st.
This is what I wanted to hear, I'd rather see Jacobs-GGG rather than Saunders-GGG. Screw the belt, I want quality.
If anyone has expressed an unwillingness to fight its Jacobs, retard. The only reason Jacobs is screaming for the fight now is because Golovkin physically looked like crap against Brook.
Jacobs called him out before he even fought Brook. Jacobs fought Friday and said he wants GGG next. GGG fought the next day. I guess Jacobs is some type of prophet OR he just wants the fight. The only thing some of you want to hear is that someone doesn't want to fight GGG so you can keep up the boogie man act.
They tried to make Lee/Jacobs after the fact. Lee only lost to BJS by MD, he was still a high quality opponent. Danny waiting on BJS was no excuse not fighting in April-July. Face Brooklyn and he blew the opportunity to fight on every last show there b/c he didn't want to be a co-main.
In the end it all works out because Jacobs and GGG fought on the same weekend so scheduling and availability should be that much more convenient.
Andy Lee is a mediocre fighter. Anyone acyin like he isn't either has an agenda or they really don't know wtf they are talking about. He's the MW equivalent of Randall Bailey. Only reason he's usually in fights at all is his power.
When you're hyped by a legendary trainer to be a HOF'er and one of the best MW's of all time only to be 10 years into your career and not have a better resume than Sergio Mora; yes, you're a bust.
I'm starting to think you actually believe Mora is better than Lee, atleast so you can better accept why Jacobs chose to fight Mora instead of Lee.
How funny will it be if Jacobs backs out of the Golovkin fight, fights Lee and gets KO'd. We'll have fun with that.
Had it not been for Manny Steward hyping Lee up years ago, Eastcoast wouldn't be on his d1ck here.
The fact of the matter is is that Andy Lee has been a bust. Manny Steward was a legendary HOF trainer, but Andy Lee was a bust that didn't live up to jack schit.
That's the reality.
Chollo Vista translation: "Leave Danny Jacobs alone"!!!
Lee was knocked down 4 times combined against Quillin and Saunders with not one win against either one.
Somehow that equates to an addition on Lee's resume in your book.
Lee got his ass kicked by some guy named Horta.
The fact that Lee got KO'd by Brian Vera speaks measures.
But please explain how Lee has a better resume than Sergio Mora?
Please don't bring up losses and draws for Lee. We're talking about wins here.
What wins does Lee have that trumps Mora's? Not what losses and draws he has.
Did you just ignore what I said about Mora getting beat 2x by Vera, and then Lee easily beating Vera thereafter?
Mora has zero wins over a top 15 MW. Winning a MW title vs Korobov trumps anything Mora's come close to doing at MW.
Lol at you defending Jacobs choosing to fight Mora over Lee.
Yeah and within the last 2 years, Andy Lee also has a MD over some guy named Frank Haroche Horta, who was 34-12-5. How do you explain that?
You still fail to show who has the better resume?
Now all of a sudden we count draws and losses?
In the last 10 years of fighting, Andy Lee has one descent win which is against Matt Korobov who is solely known for his amateur pedigree.
Going off what you say, Jerrod Fletcher is just as good of a win for Jacobs as Korobov is for Lee.
Mora has a better resume and Jacobs beating Andy Lee at this point in Jacobs career does jack schit for Jacobs. Nothing more than a victory over Mora would do
Don't be a dumb ass. Mora lost back to back fights to Vera, right after Lee cruised by Vera. Outside that 'Contender' series from 15 years ago, Mora has no decent wins at MW outside of a faded Proksa.
You want to make fun of Lee/Horta, but then after Lee had close fights with Quillin & Saunders, in your short book that makes Quillin & Saunders about equal to Horta? GTFO.
I also have to say i was never impressed by Andy Lee as a fighter, if he wasnt with Manny Steward, nobody would have praised him back then.
He already got knocked out by Brian Vera and Chavez Jr which are no Top P4P fighters and the fight against Saunders was just atrocious. I still like Andy Lee, he is just a very passionate and likeable guy and you just want to root for him.
In my book, Jacobs even though he has bad chin, is still the second best Middleweight and the better opponent for GGG. Jacobs is always in good, exciting fights and has very good power, knocked out everyone in the last couple years.
Saunders is usually in terrible fights. You have to rewatch Saunders vs Lee, it ranks as probably one of the worst fights in the last 10 years.
I hope both fights will happen until Mid 2017.
Saunders has stamina issues and makes fights a lot closer than they need to be. He was practically toying with Eubank Jr and Lee to start but as always he fades and lets fighters back into it.
I feel he'd take a fighter like GGG or even a Jacobs far more seriously but that is speculation on my part.
Personally I think Saunders would outbox and probably stop the chinny Jacobs.
Its not just his chins bad his defense is terrible, he loads up way too much its a recipe for disaster.
Yeah, Saunders probably beats Jacobs imo but Jacobs has a puncher's chance v GGG whereas Saunders doesn't have that.
And lost every other round thereafter. was even badley wobbled several times after the 1st round
Take a math class. After 4 rounds the scores were 39-36.
BJS stopped Fletcher on his feet in a stoppage that was questionable because Fletcher was fine. Have you seen the fight?
Jacobs stopped Fletcher on his ass struggling to get up.
Now finish telling me how being stopped by Brian Vera on the feet than being stopped by Pirog on the ground.
Then, please explain to me who has the better resume between Mora and Andy Lee?
Who is Andy Lee's best win again?
Fletcher got put down by BJS, got up and continued to eat shots and fell around the ring. There was nothing questionable to that stoppage.
Are you serious in saying that right now, Mora is just a tough an opponent for Jacobs as Lee??? If you are, then you have no credibility on this board.
What is Mora's resume in the last 3 years? Jack & Sh*t. Mora got a SD vs Abie Han just before he fought Jacobs the first time!!!!!! Mora then sat out for 13 months before the rematch!!!
Lee stopping Korobov, getting a draw with Quillin, and losing by MD to Saunders shows quality.
"Lee was on his way to losing to Jackson, before the miracle.
Lee was on his way to being KO'd by Quillin in the first round before surviving."
On his way to being Ko'd by quillin, lee hot robbed. What fight did you watch? refs didn't call a legit takedown for lee. I guarantee you Jacobs does not mop the floor with lee at all. You are delusional about lee and completely underrate him
Now that I think about it here you go lying again. Andy Lee was quoted as saying "he was very comfortable making 154 and all he had to do was make small adjustments".
You say Lee was weakened, even though Lee himself said otherwise, but Lee got the KO stoppage. Which one is it?
GTFO with this sh*t.
Yeah b/c guys never say they feel great at a new weight, even if they don't.
It's a cold hard fact, Lee never weighed that light before in his career. Prior to weighing 154lbs vs Jackson, the lightest professional weight Lee ever weighed was 158.5lbs. Imagine Danny Jacobs cutting down to 154lbs, how do you think he'd be?
Yeah, he hit the ground against John Jackson. John Jackson and was almost stopped. In fact, he was down on the cards.
Down after 4 rounds when he had the knock down in the first and recovering in the 2nd, shocking! The shot Jackson landed on Lee was a hell of a lot harder than the weak-ass hook Mora floored Jacobs with.
Barely made it out of the first round and was literally saved by the bell. Got put on queer street a few times after that.
Yeah and Jacobs KO victim Jerrod Fletcher beat Adonis Stevenson in the amateurs. Is Jacobs better than Adonis Stevenson because he beat Jerrod Fletcher who beat Adonis Stevenson?
Jacobs KO victim Jarrod Fletcher was KO'd in 1 round by BJS. Why did it take Danny so long?
If Lee had a rock solid beard, he wouldn't have been stopped period.
First off, who the f*ck said Lee had a rock solid beard?????
Second off, that's the type of statement a casual fan would make. An action fighter who fights other big punchers getting knocked down is nothing surprising. The fact that he gets up and keeps fighting just as hard means a lot.
Wonder why Danny doesn't fight big punchers, huh?
And Jacobs was 23 when he fought Pirog.
You make an excuse for Lee losing to Brian fcuking Vera at 23, but disregard Jacobs losing to a world class fighter in Pirog at 23?
You ain't biased, doe
You brought the Vera fight, I'm criticizing Danny off the last few years. But yeah, Danny got stopped flat on his back where Andy got stopped on his feet.
You want to piss on Andy for losing fights Danny wouldn't even take. Danny Jacobs wouldn't even fight Dmitry Chudinov, look it up. Ryabanski (sp) tried to make that fight when Chudinov was Jacob's mando. They ended up having to fight Eubank instead b/c Danny's team wouldn't reply.
Let's see how Danny handles a clean shot from Jackson after he cuts down to 154? It's too bad we didn't get to see how Danny handles getting hit from Quillin? Then we wouldn't even be having this conversation. We seen Danny drop like a sack of potatoes from Sergio Mora, Quillin would've finished him.
Oh ok, because the only thing that matters is a KO ratio :lame:
I actually believe Jacobs have a better chance against ggg then Saunders but I think Saunders beat Jacobs. Yeah no one is gonna outbox ggg for 12 rounds and I think the only way you can beat him is to somehow knock him out.
When we're talking about a guy in GGG who cuts the ring and supposedly lets fighters punch him in the face because his chin is so good, yes KO % matters.
Why didn't GGG fight Lemieux the same way he fought Monroe Jr and Dominic Wade?
I'll answer that for you. Because KO ratio matters.
Lems KO ratio didnt matter when GGG was plastering his face with leather.
Jacobs chin will last about as long as you in bed with whatever cheap prossy you can find on that particular day.
BJS is a better fight to GGG than Jacobs?
BJS has a 50% KO ratio. What is he going to do, outbox GGG for 12 rounds?
Jacobs has a 90% KO ratio and will knock GGG the fcuk out if he gets froggy
Oh ok, because the only thing that matters is a KO ratio :lame:
