Trap fight! Jacobs must be very careful,"looking ahead" could be dangerous!

Shouldnt he just fight all the opponents lil g has faced?, since they made lil g alledgedly top p4p, by his fans thoughts, murderers row. A cancer survivor has fought better competition than lil g, and then he's gonna beat lil g.

The only better opposition he's faced is Pirog, who beat him. I assume you're referring to Quillin but remember Rosado was kicking Quillin's ass until the corrupt PBC officials stopped the fight with one round to go in order to save Quillin. Not that it mattered since the corrupt PBC judges also planned to rob Rosado anyway.

As for fighting GGG's opponents, Jacobs-Lemieux would be a great fight. I've got Lemieux all the way in that one because it will be a slugfest and Lemieux has equal power and a better chin. As for Murray, he already moved up to 168, but if he comes back down to 160, that's a good fight. Geale and Macklin are both on the decline since GGG beat them so handily, and Wade was a mandatory. If you mean Jacobs should fight his mandatory regardless of who they are, like GGG does, I agree with that too and hope to see him fight is mandated opponent, GGG, next. Agreed?

none of that made any sense - just bs positioning - could have fought anyone else other than Saunders - Stevens , Lemieux, even a Quillen rematch would look better than a Mora rematch

[slimPickings]

Stay busy fight as far as i am concerned.
If he cannot get past Mora he has no business in this game.

Jacobs overcame cancer, doe!!! Plain and straight! It was a very huge fight to win!

You think that is how it works in a regular job? Work in a factory or an office and take a year out with cancer - then go back and produce poorly - within another year you are without a job.

Jacobs doesn't aspire to be a journey man boxer. He says he is one of the best MWs and wants to fight GGG who he says is the best.

Lets see if that happens - I will be surprised in a good way to see that fight actually happen - too many obstacles and one of those is how much money Jacobs will want.
