Comments Thread For: Golovkin is Very Interested in Danny Jacobs if No Canelo Bout

[mriq4]

GGG has offered the chicken BJS a huge sum of money AND he offered to go to England but the coward didn't take him up on it. Canelo the Mexican chicken talks a big game at the fight because he knocked out a 140 pounder that fights at 147 but he won't get in at the MIDDLEWEIGHT 160 pounds. I believe Jacobs will take the fight.

Don't understand the long layoff. He got a 1st round KO in December and barely broke a sweat. He should've quickly requested another fight at least in march. No reason to sit out so long.

They have to wait to see when GGG is fighting so they can make sure to schedule in Jacobs' next fight within a month of that.

Spot on! They are saying Jacobs will fight on 30th July.. Heck move it by 15days & you can fight GGG on a bigger event than an undercard.. We'll have to wait for WBC's announcement after 15days & if it doesnt go through then WBA will mandate Jacobs if he doesn't rush & agree to fight Andy Lee on July..

If Danny doesn't get a fight booked before Canelo vacates the belt, then he'll be forced to fight GGG. Sanchez just said on the morning punch-in show Golovkin will return end of August or early September, and unless BJS is willing to unify, he'll be obligated to fight Danny. I prefer Golovkin/Jacobs before Golovkin/Alvarez.

How is an IBF champion obligated to fight a regular WBA champion? :gay:

Because the IBF champion is also the WBA super champion who has a mandatory defense to make against the WBA regular champion.

Ignore the 'Super'/'Regular' terms - Golovkin is the WBA champion and Jacobs is the top contender.

Well it's about time GGG acknowledged Jacobs existence. It's only been a year or so.

That said, the fight will get made in the Fall

Danny has been hiding ever since his win vs Quillin and fans started demanding him to fight GGG.

Dude went completely off the map, that boy has no interest in GGG.

It's very possible that GGG can face Canelo is September. However, the Jacobs and BJS fight are on the table. If GGG faces them before Canelo, he won't make much. But after the Canelo fight, he'd be a PPV powerhouse and would milk both those guys for millions of PPVs. I would wanna see Jacobs vs. Andy Lee and Lemiuex vs Quillin

What happened to Jacobs? He had a very active 2015 after winning the belt I would have thought something would be on the table by now.

He wanted to take time off to spend with his family.
