See there were real fights for GGG. Not many, but Jacobs us a serious challenger as is bjs.

[Derranged]

Its time for this fight to happen already.

Roach the same guy that said bet your house on Manny in the Mayweather fight BUT he's right, it would be a real fight that GGG would dominate in. GGG underestimated Brook cause he was a welterweight and his ego def got in the way.

With Jacobs I hope he punishes him for 6 rounds and KO's the Brooklyn champ.

Interesting, would this fight be in Barclays or MSG?

QUESTION: Who gets the crowd in this fight? The adopted Kazakh or Brooklyn's own. I'd be interested in seeing that too.

If Jacobs wasn't so chinny, we would all be excited for this. It's just difficult to see another outcome when you have Golovkin's power meeting the chin of Jacobs.

Still, it's one of the best fights in the division, maybe the best, so no complaints.

People keep talking about Pirog, but you have to look at the context in those knockdowns. Jacobs was beating Pirog before that KO whether you agree or not. It's a fact.

GGG does not move like Pirog. He doesn't have the upper body movement. Golovkin is very robotic with his movement. Very rarely does he duck out of the way of a punch. However, he has shown great agility against Lemiuex. Problem is, that's really not telling me much since Lemieux's feet are an F550 and Jacobs feet are a Corvette.

Lemieux is also the same height as GGG with short T-rex arms. Jacobs is tall and lengthy and is therefore able to generate much more power and get more leverage than Lemeiux. Jacobs is also much faster than DL and much better in his delivery.

Who has GGG fought with the power, speed and boxing ability of Daniel Jacobs? Jacobs is like Willie Monroe but with mutant-esque power compared to Monroe.

If Golovkin drops his hands and lets Jacobs hit him like he let Monroe and Wade hit him, it's over. You know this. In the same breath, he can't afford to try and outbox Jacobs like he did DL. Yes, that statement is subjective, but I'm going purely off the eye test here.

Another thing to think about is although Lemieux was KO'd by Rubio, GGG never hurt DL to the head. All the times DL was hurt was to the body. Does this mean that Rubio hits harder than GGG because he was able to hurt DL to the head? Of course not which is why I don't like using analogies like that when talking about fights.

GGG has never faced someone of Jacobs caliber that has all the tools, power and threats of Jacobs. I'm salivating thinking about it.

Tom Loeffler has said that Jacobs is more of a threat than Canelo for a reason.

I agree..

Jacobs has holes on defense and maybe not the best ring general, but he has great handspeed and explosive two handed power.. Legit threat to ggg and the best mw fight to make at the moment
