      He lost momentum cause he couldn't get any decent opportunities. The old HBO regime had pretty much blacklisted him for taking out Jacobs. Things have really changed at HBO, especially wrt MW division, so he'd now get all kinds of opportunities he didn't before. Greenburg wouldn't have touched GGG with a 10 foot pole, for example

        Jacobs is fighting on Fox Sports 1 in a week, and Quillin is on the Hopkins undercard. So it won't be next

          It can be next... 2 months is enough time if he was offered and really wanted it

            I suppose. Lorenzo is not really a stay busy fight for Jacobs, that he'd wanna look past

              I wouldn't be surprised if they still offered it to him though. They must be grasping at straws now that they're handing out crap money to fight Chocolate

                I agree to an extent, the old regime didn't do much for him, but I still don't see why he go hyped so much for beating Danny Jacobs. Decent win, but he was like some world beater who was getting ducked after that. Hershman gave him a good opportunity against GGG, but unfortunately he couldn't take it with his injury. Hopefully he can come back, but I doubt it.

                Not sure, to my knowledge Kid Chocolate is still looking for an opponent and I think Danny Jacobs is healthy.

                  They might as well have them ship another Euro with Murat, someone from the same stable or Bursak.

                    Who knows who he fights.... it'll probably be better than Guerrero though.... hopefully

                      True, Jacobs was not even top 10, but he was everybody's prospect of the year. And people were impressed with Pirog's style. But the main reason is that at the time there was no proven talent at MW besides Sergio, and he looked like the most interesting challenger. For sure more than Dzin, Macklin or Barker.
