Jermall Charlo
David Lemieux
Andy Lee
Curtis Stevens
Immanuwel Aleem
Antoine Douglas
I don't expect it to be a big name if it were this card would be on Showtime and not FOX. Look at the last FOX cards showcase fights and low level fighters. Showtime get's the top fights because they the only ones playing. Plus Chavez don't make any sense in Brooklyn. If he's fighting Chavez you put that shyt on the Westcoast to bank of Mexicans. Honestly the opponent should be Charlo both under haymon both need a fight, Oct is plenty of time since Charlo just fought a 1 legged man and didn't suffer any injuries. But we know the Charlo sisters some scared bytches won't mention Jacobs and both already ducked Lara.
Charlo would fight Jacobs and I'm hearing Lara is fighting Terrell Gausha of all people.

Dwyer said it could be Chavez Jr...if so that's got Chavez getting knocked out written all over it...at any weight
If Jacobs gets in the ring with Chavez, it will be the last stupid thing he ever does.
I think it would make him some decent money as they could have the fight in NY since Jacobs is from there and they have a big Irish population. I just don't know if that'll be enough to satisfy Lee, he may want a title on the line. :lol1: the WBC can make them a special belt
LOL I'm sure Andy will be fine with or without a belt. I suspect this is the likely opponent -- makes sense and may not be a bad fight either. More curious to see what the undercard looks like.
I'm pretty sure he would.

Would Andy Lee consider Jacobs a big fight? I remember him saying he is gonna retire and he'll only stay around for what he considers big fights
I'm pretty sure he would.
It likely won't be Charlo. He isn't known for chasing down tough fights. I think he wants to preserve his "0" and not ruin his shot at GGG/Canelo winner. Murata is coming off a SD loss in May, maybe he gets the call. Jacobs vs. Lee would be good for four rounds until Lee gets KO'd.
Who knows, but I can't wait for it. I had my questions about him going into that GGG fight (not that I was ever not looking forward to a Jacobs fight) and now I can't wait to see him in the ring again
Him vs Chavez Jr at 168 would be FUN! No way GBP put David Lemieux in with him they will likely save Lemieux for Canelo! So if it is at 160 then Immanuwel Aleem or Andy Lee seems most realistic since Lee is with DiBella and Aleem is a Haymon guy also :dunno: either of those would be good stylistically!
