    Doubtful. Too much of a size difference, even if Jack is 40 and past it. Bivol at 175 was a wake up call.

      I can see it. Jack was always a B level light heavyweight, won a belt against bum Cleverly.

        Yeah, but Jack is a blown up ex super middleweight, not a natural Cruiserweight in reality. He just probably can’t make lower weights because he’s almost 40.

        Bivol is better than Canelo in almost every department, Jack isn’t

        Canelo will certainly consider this one.

            Jack isn’t that big of a guy and he’s way less of a threat than Bivol. I admittedly haven’t seen the Makabu fight yet but Jack looked awful against Rivera who’s a 175 lb club fighter.

              Completely agree. He’s still got a bit of name value too.

                Makabu is awful but Jack looked like the bigger man and sharper puncher from the word go. Canelo looked too small at 175; 200 is a bridge too far. I realize Bivol is much better than Jack at this point but Bivol is small enough that he could make 168 if he wanted. Jack seems to be a fully filled out cruiser at this point.

                    Nah Jack’s a blown up Cruiser. He’d be completely dwarfed by a Riakporhe or Okolie.
