Is Jacobs a "challenge" for Golovkin?

[bojangles1987]

The only advantage Jacobs has is speed. Golovkin has better power, the better chin, and the better skills. Yeah, Jacobs might land a stopping punch, but the odds of that happening are so much slimmer than Golovkin doing the same.

I have to say that Jacobs is a good challenge for GGG, he knocked out everyone in the last couple years and seems to be very strong, he is also taller and bigger than GGG, also longer reach.

I think Jacobs knows his chin isnt the best and thats why i hope that Jacobs goes all out and tries to knock out GGG first, so this fight will probably be the shootout GGG has wanted for so long. It could be a war for 4-5 rounds.

Yea, he is a threat. The dude can crack and he is long and tall. He presents alot of problems for Golovkin. I think its a good scrap.

[Chollo Vista]

Not only is he a threat...I say he will destroy Golovkin.


If Brook had Jacob's power GGG would be in our thoughts and prayers.

Damn boy, you been on a roll lately

[Lester Tutor]

yeah, the nerve of him to actually hype and promote his fight........

I can see how promoting fights wasn't your thing.

But again I still think Lemieux was a bigger challenge, he's as powerfull as Jacobs, but have a way better chin,

Why because he got KO'd by Marco Antonio Rubio?

Where is all this "Danny Jacobs has a questionable chin" BS coming from? The guy has 1 KO loss from years ago. How does this equate to him being Amir Khan now?

It's quite simple; people just regurgitate what they see and can't think for themselves. Guys don't have a mind of their own on here; just repeat what other people type. No sense of critical thinking.

I was watching a youtube video the other day. This guy was commenting on the GGG vs Jacobs fight. Never even saw the Jacobs vs Pirog fight as he admitted too, but when he gave his breakdown of GGG vs Jacobs, for some reason he referred to the Pirog fight, WTF?

Definitely a challenge but I don't see Jacobs winning. But I can't criticize this fight at all. Good match up for Golovkin.

I think it is a challenge, even though I would expect Golovkin to stop Jacobs in the first half of the fight. I know that is a contradiction, but I think Jacobs is dangerous...yet maybe not durable enough to deal with Golovkin's power. It is definitely a fight worth having. More importantly, its exciting.

I feel the same way. Jacobs has power and good overall boxing ability but GGG will definitely take him seriously. He will prepare 100% for the fight and I just don't think that Jacobs will be able to land much of anything on him. Jacobs maybe lands a few body shots or a jab or tow but GGG will be peppering him with power piston jabs.

GGG controls almost every round and KO's Jacobs by the 6th rd.

...and there's the question of ggg being durable enough to deal with jocabs power. Normally, i wouldn't question ggg's durability...but he seems to be eating a lot of flush punches lately. I expect he'd be a little more defensively responsible with jacobs tho.
