Jacobs - length, size and power.
I already consider GGG as one of those small middleweights. Though he won, Jacob's length gave him some problems. Imagine a shorter Canelo.
Jacobs is now 30 years old, so Canelo just needs to marinate the fight for 5 years or so, and bring them GoldenBoys judges and he's cool.
(Anyone really see Canelo getting in the ring with Jacobs??)
Jacobs for sure. Canelo is hugely over rated and hyped. He hasn't knocked out or beaten anyone great or in prime. He fights at catchweight against fighter either smaller or bigger, who are subjected to a weight clause on pre fight weigh in, canelo being the master of rehydration weight gain, packs on the weight on fight day and comes into the fight the heavier guy. When was the last fight you can recall canelo knocking out a worthy opponent in prime? Or any fight for that matter? Cotto wasn't in his weight class and not in prime, fight went 12 rounds, Lara could have gone either way. Where is the greatness is canelo? He was running all night from GGG.
Jacobs is naturally bigger than GGG. he is also much faster and powerful than canelo.
Jacobs would be the favorite and he would knock canelo the fuk out. Underdeveloped lion lookin motherfuka with that lame ass facial hair
Jacobs would be the slight favorite while Canelo will find a way to win in a tough fight!
Canelo a better counter puncher with just a little faster hand speed and better skills while Jacobs has much bigger size and reach and better foot speed!
I say Canelo may be a tad smarter in the ring!
Would be a very competitive fight but I look at the guy with the bigger chip on his shoulder, sublime skills and experience to back it up!
whod win? Whod be the favorite?
I think Jacobs would win but Canelo would be the favorite, IMO. Jacobs can give that "movement" style that gives Canelo fits.
