Comments Thread For: Danny Jacobs returning to tick one last box in his career

[Malvado]

I wouldn't say Jacobs is a Hall of Famer, but he certainly was a pretty good champion that didn't full fill his potential.

Could had been on par with Golovkin and Alvarez if it weren't for his lack of activity.

The "better names" that he actually beat were either over 35 or came up two or more weight classes. But have fun with that.

What separates Daniel Jacobs from Callum Smith? BJS? Caleb Plant etc.

Lara, Golovkin and Cotto were all better wins than Jacobs. Going up to 175 to beat a regressed version of Kovalev was a better win too.

I thought he deserved the win against Ryder but he's still a shell of what he once was. I don't want to watch him take an L to some journeyman or get hurt out there.

His run in between the Pirog loss and the Golovkin loss was special, though. Knocked out everyone including Sergio Mora twice, Peter Quillin, and Caleb Truax.

Canelo, Jacobs, Lemieux, Murray, Macklin, Murata, Geale, Proksa and Rubio were all rated inside the top 10 by Ring ****zine when GGG defended against them. A lot of them were ranked top 5 too.

Keep pushing that agenda though. If Joe Louis fought today, he’d get no credit from some of you modern day fans.

He’s not an ATG sorry. Compare his resume to even Kelly Pavlik and GGG is a JOKE. Put it next to Hopkins and it’s downright PATHETIC. Dude never took one risk his whole career. Hype job that never won a signature bout in his career and doesn’t have one elite win over another HOFamer on his resume. There’s no agenda here just facts. Name one HOF victory on GGGs resume. Name one HOF opponent he had besides canelo. Here’s a hint: I won’t hold my breath because you won’t find one lol. I’ll let u and his cult fans carry on YOUR narrative that’s not based in facts. I’m sure he’s a legend to your lot. Not to anyone who knows anything about boxing tho lol

Did I call him an ATG?

GGG will be a HOF’er though, I’ll bet you anything you want.

Learn to read coherently dude.

He’s a HOFamer based on his longevity but his career was a dud.

[Shrap]

I dont rate Mosley all that high but he tries to win and I wouldn't be surprised if he beats Jacobs. It's been about 5 years since he's last looked decent.

I doubt it. Jacobs has dropped off massively but he's still well above Mosley.

He's always had the skill and power to hold a title and give anyone a tough night. Very good fighter in any era.

I wouldn’t exactly call it a dud. The guy achieved a lot more than most. At least you admit he’s a HOF’er.

Jesus Christ, your standard for "special" is incredibly low

You should do some extensive research on boxing pre 2018 when you discovered it.

[garfios]

I mean GGG has 22 defences against 99% bums lmao.

How about canelo? How many wins against elite fighters, without controversy in his resume?
