Needs an actual miracle.
Short post prefaced by the fact that I like and am rooting for Jacobs.
Golovkin has tasted and was virtually unaffected by David Lemieux's power. He obviously has exceptional power, far superior to Danny's( rewatch the Sergio mora fight if you disagree). He can't stop him and is unlikely to hurt ggg.
He could theoretically win using a Floyd Canelo template. But as the defensive skill and speed advantage Floyd had over canelo were much greater to what danny has, he will not be able to pot shot and score(or dance/run and score). Even if he uses this only theoretical strategy for victory, he will eventually get caught and hurt and the fight will turn at that moment. Golovkin's jab erases any possibility the strategy could work, no matter how flawlessly danny is able to box. Golovkin Ko in rounds 4-7...
both are in the eact same boat arnt they? i could post the exact same about GGG
The Lemieux KO was more legit than the Quillin KO to me. Kid Chocolate could have fought on. GGG was fighting some fringe contenders and ex world champs but those guys weren't as low caliber as Milton Nunez, Giovanni Lorenzo, and Keenan Collins. Those Jacobs victims weren't even anywhere near even the D Wade level (clearly GGG's weakest opponent). Yes GGG was matched great but overall he was matched considerably tougher than Jacobs over the last 12 fights. Quillen is the best fighter on either person's resume though.
Most people fail to realise this about golovkin...he always comes out ready to box..but he is not one dimensional...as shown in the kell brook fight...and yes i know kell was a blown up welter/light middle...he came out to box...but when he realised that was the harder way to go about it...he just switched to streetfight and smashed his way in. There is likely no way out when it comes to golovkin..he will beat you slowly if he can....or he will hurt you if he has to...it only usually takes him about 3 rounds to decide which it is going to be and everybody watching knows when the decision has been made.
Good analysis, right on the money.
why do ya'll act like that was some great display of defense?? he got hit over 10 times a round on average...getting hit 89 times in 8 rounds is not great defense
I don't act.
I call it how I see it, a spade is a spade.
Jacobs can hit quite hard, let's not downplay this but GGG has faced Lem and taken his punches no problem. The best way for Jacobs to win is to overwhelm GGG with punches and win on volume.
Did you watch Lemieux vs GGG, what'd you think to GGG's defence that night we saw him against an opponent he respected, we'll come back to this conversation after the Jacobs fight too another opponent will respect due to firepower coming back his way. Gonna tag myself here so the post is easy to find and you can tell me how Canelo's defence is superior to GGG's.

cant wait..........
He was 19........
"People don't forget! "Haha haha-superbad.
Getting hurt by that guy is very analogous to pissing yourself in public. Embarrassing at any age

Murray, Geale, Stevens, Lemiuex, Rosado, Monroe and even Brook and Macklin are all superior guys to Caleb traux, which is what Jacobs record consists of. Jacobs record is abysmal besides the Quillin win. Golovkin has been ko'ing top ten guys, durable guys, Jacobs has fought nobody but Quillin, that's his record, that's where it begins and ends. Not comparable.
You forgot about the great Ishe Smith on Jacobs resume as well. People should check that fight out and see how often Jacobs was getting hit by the left hook. We all know how good GGG left hook is. Jacobs makes the same mistakes to this day.
Umm canelo was hurt by the bad cotto. Miguel's cousin or brother I think. Brook technically was more skilled than ggg and got his face broke. Canelo fights ggg in 2 years when he's at his peak and ggg is in decline. Canelo could at least hurt him if he landed some great body shots and combos Imo. But he isn't taking a beating for 8 figures when he can fight Chaves Jr and others and make near that without a risk.
He was 19........
1-He has better defense
2-Better and more fluid combo's
3-Higher ring IQ

You're trying to discredit Jacob's power and not even giving him a puncher's chance now? Granted, his chances of winning are not great but this is just dumb and smacks of pure bias. He HITS HARD, ALWAYS HAS....reminds me of when Clancy & Letterman were like, "I think the mystique of Foreman's power has been exposed" and BOOM Moorer's asleep.
It was a semi impulsive thread created after I saw what lemieux did Saturday. I stand by it though, and it's more of a commentary on ggg's chin and a fight prediction than any knock on Jacobs' power. Obviously it's an exaggeration to state that a guy with good power dosent have a puncher's chance, but I really believe it is EXTREMELY unlikely Danny has enough power to keep Gennady honest enough to win or even go the distance.
Jacobs ability to land his punches from a distance may prove to frustrate GGG. If he fails to use the Jab to maintain distance he will be on the floor in the 4th. But if he maintains the Jab and is able to loop over one of those power shots early GGG is in for a long night, may be TKOed by the 7th. To say that Jacobs can't thump is blasphemy
Canelo is far more skilled and it will show when they fight

Tell me Larry Canelo has superior footwork to GGG, right ? It's been a while since I added a quote into my sig.

Their is absolutely no way this guy beats him, is their am agenda at play here as it's one of Floyd's best wins ?
I was opposed to this fight but I want it badly now so that you'll see how badly GGG exposes Canelo and STOPS him.
I never realised Floyd blow hards had a vested interest but it's all a little more apparent to me now.
Is Canelo perceived as elite in your opinion, because it appears fairly apparent to anyone who knows shyt that Golovkin is a level above Canelo.
For me GGG is already elite, up there with the like of Kovalev, Stevenson and Ward, what i won't start doing is tearing down Kovalev and Stevenson as to diminish the achievements of Ward when he beats them, you on the other hand ....
