Will Jacobs really fight Golovkin next or is he just talking?

[deathofaclown]

Everyone getting brave now until it's time to sign the fight and they will go quiet again...just like Canelo.

Saunders then Eubank will probably make GGG a whole lot more money.

The Saunders fight should be next, a real unification.

If Eubank wants it, he should earn it now. He has his chance and didn't sign.

Do you think Daniel Jacobs really wants to fight Gennady Golovkin, or will he price himself out to avoid the fight?

Will he actually do it, or is he just talking?

he'll vacate the belt just like punk ass quillin did.

He'll fight him. I think he was trying to negotiate the most of the opportunity but ****ed around too long and now he's got little choice. Dude won't vacate though. He's got no reason to. He's a competent fighter with a lot of heart.

I want to believe this.

I believe he is realizing that he isn't as big as he thought, his fight against Quillin was one of the biggest fights in the division and still was a money flop, so probably Haymon put him in a position where he needs to get a big fight.

depends on how GGG looks tonight, if he looks vulnerable expect jacobs to be interested.

I said it yesterday and I'm saying it again. @GGGBoxing let's dance good boy. #MyTurn pic.twitter.com/EYdiNAMwBN

@WBABoxing #gggjacobs I must correct a wrong information. 120 days to fight and 30 days negotiations period started...

I hope he means it. The track record suggests I shouldn't believe him.

Who remembers when Jacobs said he wanted GGG, and than called himself the A-side after a fight that less than 300k people watched?

And than who remembers how Jacobs went into complete hiding until GGG signed To fiht someone else.

And than Jacobs popped up again talking that nonsense.

The Haymon fighters don't want to fight anyone. Only relevant fighters with balls over there are Thurman, Porter, and Frampton. I think Spence will get on that list too, but Haymon will hold him back like jes done to all of his prospects who once had start potential.

Jacobs on the other hand is a disgrace. NY don't claim this clown just like we never claimed that clown Quillin.

No turning back now. He called him out yesterday and then today. The WBA said they have 30 to negotiate and 120 days to put on the fight. He's not Canelo and he knows it. His career is dead if he vacates. He just complained about not being a bigger name. I think it got thru to him that he has to fight GGG to become a bigger name.

Didn't Golovkin want a December fight as well?
They should square up then, if this guy meant it.

Would love to see Erislandy too

See, I hadn't seen Golovkin against a decent mover until Kell Brook-- in terms of back foot boxing ability.
And I thought he fared very well with cutting off the ring, enough pressure to have Brook question a lot of his fight in the latter stages of the fight.

But it turned out to be stylistically a fun watch. Golovkin's nose busted and such. I don't think he'd be a complete Angulo like tonight to Lara, as Lara carries more pop, but it'd be a fun fight nevertheless.

That's one way to look at it.

The other way is that Jacobs is basically irrelevant anyway so even when he ducks Golovkin it will be forgotten in 2 days.

He knows Haymon pays decent money to fight weak opposition so he'll be alright.

I think Jacobs/Golovkin agree to a deal by the end of next week. Loeffler's already been talking with Haymon about this, hell K2 already made an initial offer. The only thing that bogs this down is BJS, and he can really **** around. That said, I think both Haymon & K2 realize a ppv would do better in March than December.

If NYSAC doesn't amend the insurance bill, this could end up in Vegas. Jacobs might rule out LA due to it being like home to Golovkin.
