Shocked in a positive way, that would be huge for the sport. Imagine his win would be on every newspaper...sort of when holmes koed ronda.
Dont know about being a star but he would be starting to make a name...if then he fights canelo and wins by ko. That would make him a Star
I'd be shocked, but not overly disappointed. I am a Golovkin fan and still would be, but I see plenty reasons to like Jacobs as well and if he wins decisively I would most likely become a true fan as the kind of performance it would take might win me over.
How would it change the landscape? Cats that Golovkin has in check (Canelo, Ward) might be more willing to move around divisions, or they might duck Jacobs as well. I don't think too much changes.
You never cease to amuse. Do you ever cringe before hitting the send button ?
It would break me physically and mentally.
I would probably go on a hiatus and start living in some hut in the middle of nowhere to rethink my life and regroup.
But first I'd threat to kill Jacobs on Twitter.

what other option does jacobs have other than chance? he isn't better than GGG at any department, he only has power, but so does GGG
I won't be as surprised as most of these guys. Jacobs should be a difficult opponent for GGG. I'm hoping Golovkin wins but Danny is dangerous and talented enough for me to realize that a GGG win is not a foregone conclusion.
biggest upset since tyson vs douglas IMO. id be shocked and then probably laugh a bit not at ggg but his fanboys.

I'd be shocked but it wouldn't change the landscape much. Not many victories can actually change the boxing landscape. Changing the landscape means fundamentally alter your view of a division. It would just mean Jacobs would be #1 and GGG would be #2. It's not like all the sudden we get all these crazy matchups we never thought of before. Now Charlo destroying Lemule, that would alter the landscape because now there would be a new force in the division.
Why do you start threads and not give your opinion on the topic you started?
On to the topic, I'd be surprised, but life goes on and Jacobs has a good story and it would be the pinnacle of his comeback to win that fight. People would call GGG a hype job etc but they'll do that 5 years from now when he's 40 if he loses so who cares...
Because it is a question
obviously it wouldnt change the landscape much it would just be the next over hyped fighter beaten. (i dont think ggg is overhyped per say just if he were to lose).
It might be a good thing overall because right now ggg fan boys revolve everything around ggg no matter what it is as we see with certain people who make 35 threads a day about ggg
if jacobs wins it would be a fluke, nothing else. as soon as he steps up in opposition again he gets KO'd again. that if he steps up and doesn't keep fighting tomato cans

Just imagine if he knocked out Golovkin in the first round how bat shi crazy it would go in here. Danny has to KO this guy or the run ends. He HAS to get the KO i feel. That will either make him rise to the occasion or get taken out. If he wins he is suddenly on top of the MW division and in the P4P discussion. He instantly becomes a must fight for Canelo to take for his legacy.
Yes, I think it would. As a GGG fan I would be sad to see him lose although many on here would be overjoyed at his defeat. As a Jacobs fan I would be happy for him. I think he is a hell of a fighter and a very good champion. Anybody who beats GGG becomes an instant star. If GGG has to lose I can't think of a guy I rather see beat him than Jacobs. He is still young and a brave champion who fights dangerous guys like Pirog, Quillen, and GGG.

Stop it bro, just stop.
I think Canelo would be more likely to face Jacobs than Golovkin, but supposedly we are going to get the Golovkin fight in September so maybe he fights the winner then either way.
