Daniel Jacobs hints at the GGG fight happening in 2016

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

GGG would beat Jacobs easier than he beat anyone else.

So many hard fights are there all set for GGG to have in 2016, If he is to fight three times imagine if its BJS, Jacobs and Canelo...
I don't care what you say I know the value of fighters but IF he beat all of those three guys in a year just wow...nothing left to say other than that, the world is Golovkin oyster he is in a fantastic position if he can capitalize on it.

You massively underestimate the talent of DJ.

You predict he KO's Jacobs within four rounds so let's not even make the fight? God, I hate this argument that I see continuously on this board.

If that's the case why even make 95% of GGG's fights in the last 3 years in the first place?

I'm not sure what argument you think I'm part of. I was just giving my prediction on the fight. I don't care if he KO's Jacob in the first I still want to see it. Funny thing is I actually like both Jacobs and GGG. I just think Jacobs has a very weak chin and that's really bad when your fighting a guy with GGG's kind of power.

Golovkin gets absolutely nothing by fighting Daniel Jacobs. Just because he offered BJS 6million(not confirmed), does not mean Jacobs is worth 3m. Some reasons if it is too hard to understand why.

*BJS has just beaten Andy Lee and a hot name right now. The fight will be easier to sell as well because it is an unification fight. Jacobs-Quillin did not even get 500k viewers in free tv(If I'm not mistaken about the numbers)

*Just because Jacobs is overpaid, does not mean he can gather crowds as stated above. If he is to be paid 3m, the fight has to go ppv. It will likely be similar to the Lemieux ppv.

*BJS has a belt. Getting the belt means the fight against Canelo will decide the undisputed champ. This gives the september fight, the potential to break 700-800k ppv buys considering the marketability. And even if Canelo vacates the belt, GGG gets all of the belts so it is a win for him regardless as his self proclaimed goal is to unify the belts but I'm sure Canelo won't say no to all the sweet belts GGG will hold.

Pirog did the "shift" only once in that fight: and that was precisely when he KOd DJ...

We can agree to disagree. Haymon isn't IMO distorting the payscale because a Payscale isn't established until a fight is negotiated. Location, when a fight is signed and other factors affect the "value" of a fight.

Jacobs understands he has more value so he is asking for a bigger piece of the total pie. Sergio and fighters in the past may not have been as informed and settled for an amount lower than they could've negotiated.

Can u explain to us how has JAcobs more value than GGG? Bring up facts and not what u think or biased opinions. Who the hell knows who Jacobs his, except from us real boxing fans? GGG is way more popular and sell way more than Jacobs...

Stop with the bs Bradley key or whatever. Manny is a huge star and fighting him is what fighters make. How much did Rios made u think fighting Manny? HE was guaranteed 4 mill... U think that Jacobs fighting GGG on PPV, he should be guaranteed 5 millions? Come on man lol

Yes GGG needs a good opponent, but Jacobs is pricing himself out if he really ask 5 mill for this fight...

[Daddy T]

would be a great fight if GGG were to go through saunders, Canelo and then jacobs in one year he'd be guaranteed fighter of the year

[BlakBread904]

Jacobs is more known in the US than Billie Joe Saunders who was offered 6 mil.

Again, BJS was offered 6 mil so why can't Jacobs get at least 3?

Jacobs is ranked higher than BJS and has the better single victory. And why would Jacobs bend backwards to get a fight with GGG who is supposedly the most "ducked" fighter in boxing? Again, Jacobs is asking for less than what was offered to BJS so I'm not sure why you're saying Jacobs is "pricing himself out"?

Why in the world would people want to see GGG vs Taureno Johnson instead of Jacobs when Jacobs is the current WBA middleweight champ and TJ is a mandatory. Either way, GGG would keep a belt if he were to win.

Please stop with the "DJ got a belt too!" schtick as it is intellectually dishonest.

Danny Jacobs' WBA belt means dog **** beyond the fact that he is the first guy in the WBA rankings to get crack at the actual factual WBA middleweight champion, GGG. If, the WBA was to ever show some desire at actually having one legit champion and not secondary and tertiary title holders.

I want to see GGG/TJ because it keeps the IBF in line to be contested in Sept (Canelo/GGG). IBF will strip GGG if he doesn't do his mandatory defense (see Fury) with the caveat that unifications trump mandatory defenses. That's where Billy Joe (and his WBO belt) comes into play. Most of us want to see a fight for the undisputed middleweight championship. It won't be "undisputed" if someone else not Canelo/GGG is holding the WBO strap and/or GGG gets stripped by the IBF.

So you value "belts" over best vs best?

If GGG has been the consensus MW champion for the last 3 years, why does it matter if he gets stripped for not fighting Taureno Johnson anyway?

I don't think you understand that BJS is scared of GGG and won't fight him for at least another 18 months and Canelo-GGG are having trouble finding common ground on the weight issues.
