    Quillin was good. N'dam is a good boxer, especially when they fought. And Quillin schooled N'Dam.

    But I personally don't give Danny any credit for the Quillin win. Quillin has been struggling with weight for a WHILE. He started his career fighting above MW, and couldn't make weight for a title fight with Andy. During his camp leading up to the Danny fight, there were several articles talking about how Quillin is seriously struggling making weight.

    The fight itself tells us nothing either. Quillin threw like 5 punches and was the first guy who got caught when they were both throwing haymakers. There was little defense in that fight, and only thing we saw was that Danny has power and connected first.

    Post fight is no better - Quillin talked about moving up to 168 afterwards and then went on an almost year-long break.

      He was overhyped and at one point in boxing world there was a pretty big demand for Quillin vs Golovkin.

      The main reason why he was considered a top MW though was his WBO belt. Which he later on vacated to duck one fighter, only to fight for it against a fighter he was more comfortable with

      He's a clown.

        How many boxers can say they fought on even terms with the great Gabe Rosado?

          Fans never cared about Quillin or beloved he was anything special.

          Only person who fell for that was Showtime.

          Haymon actually convinced Showtime that Jacobs and Quillin were stars. And that when they fought each other it Would be a big fight.

          Not even 300k people tuned in haha.

          Quillin is just another pointless Haymon creation that no one cares about.

              What made Quillin better than Lemieux or Murray? Please explain.

                Quillin would've been GGG's best win by far.

                  Danny Jacobs thinks one Golovkin is worth more than 2 Quillins.

                    Golovkin has beaten at least 3 fighters as good or better than Quillin. Hell, Rosado was arguably beating Quillin in their fight before that ridiculous stoppage.

                    People have always overrated Quillin.

                      He's a decent fighter but nothing special. It was a good win for Jacobs regardless.
