    Where do you stand on Danny Jacobs?

    Before I say anything, NO DOUBT he is still learning and will most likely only get better, but he looked pretty invincible before Smith, and now I'm out on him. It would have been nightmarish for him if he had a relentless hard puncher in front of him. I think that even smaller men in Lara and Angulo would have given him hell and possibly beaten him. I would pick Korobov over him also. You guys?

      Fully agreed. As far as prospects from 154 -168 goes, who do you pick to beat him and who would he beat?

        The jury is still out on his power. I would like to see him in w/ a top ten guy and then I could come to a conclusion. He shows alot of promise though.

          Is he ready for a top 10 guy? Even if your unsure, do you think its time?

            I think he could beat Angulo if he sticks to his skill set and boxes all night. 154 is where he should stay for the time being. I don't know if he's ready for 160-168 as of yet.

              He had a good win against Ishe Smith, it was a good learning experience, he will only get better.

                Well he did step in for Kirkland, and he is on the fast track so I say sure. Why not? He beat Ishe and he's actually not to much of a slouch. He had major experience over the kid and he handled it like a pro IMO.

                  Williams and Angelo(however you spell that name) would beat him and pretty much most top 10 in his weight class. Winning? I can see him beating Berto.

                    I don't see Angulo beating him, now Pwill is a different story all together. Cintron exposed Angulo and Rosado showed his weaknesses also, someone like Jacobs is ******nite for Angulo. Jacobs is a tall lanky kid that can box.
