    I think you're underestimating Manfredo. He's not a top fighter but he'd still be Jacob's best opponent BY FAR, and in his last outing KO'd Walid Smichet, something John Duddy couldn't accomplish. He's got enough power to bother Jacobs and just enough skill to put it to use.

    Don't get me wrong, I think Jacobs beats Manfredo but it would be his biggest test to date, as Manfredo has fought bigger, better men than Jacobs and only been legitimately stopped once, by Bika who is a beast and probably outweighed him by 15 lbs on fight night.
    Mafredo will not test Jacobs at all.

      Wait and see.

      Again, he deserved a win over Mora who, while is laughed at by many, did enough to beat Vernon Forrest.

      He's a far cry better than the bums Jacobs' has been fighting.

        dstew, you have to remember that Vernon Forrest did not even show up for that fight with Sergio Mora. It was the equal of Baldomir beating Judah on a smaller scale. Mora is a bum and Manfredo is too. There was a reason you never heard of them before "The Contender". You must remember that these guys were selected for "The Contender" for one reason, THEY CAN NOT PUNCH. The show needed rounds, so they selected a bunch of pillow fisted also rans for production purposes.

        Jacobs stops Manfredo within 5/6 by TKO after an abundance of unanswered punches. This says more about Manfredo than it does about Jacobs as I still think Jacobs is a little over rated and becoming the next piece of the over hyped GBP prospect list. I saw Jacobs fight to many times in the amateurs and believe that either Estrada, Porter or Guerrero are better prospects between 154-168 than Jacobs.

          He'll stop Manfredo...and it won't be a Joe Calzhage stoppage either.

            Manfredo, then Miranda, then maybe one of the Andre's or even Jeff Lacy. Then he might have enough experience to beat a stamina-less Taylor in the late rounds if he can survive the early onslaught.
