    If Jacobs vacates, the WBA is still owed a mandatory. Here are the top 5 in the WBA @ 160;

    1. Alfonso Blanco
    2. Chris Eubank Jr.
    3. Dmitry Chudinov
    4. Rob Brant
    5. Andrew Hernandez

    I would imagine Bumlovkin would need to fight one of these guys and I just don't see that happening. Bumlovkin really has no place to go other than Lara or 168, IMO...

      Golovkin's team has tried to hype Blanco in past. Could legit see that fight.

        Jacobs will be crucified if he drops his belt.. He will get destroyed by public opinion just like Canelo when he vacated.

          If Jacobs vacates you'll defend him.

              People can say what they want about Brook that he had nothing to lose, got well paid etc. etc. At least he had the stones to get in there, nevermind jumping up 2 weight classes to do it. Never hesitated when asked about it.
              Yeah that is true Brook and GGG likely could retire off what they were paid I just don't get it since when did getting paid a couple million dollars suddenly become a thing you actually need to think about it's not like GGG is ripping Jacobs off here.

                if you look at the ring top 10 most of the guys ducked ggg its pretty sad. canelo, jacobs, saunders, eubank jr, quillin and ndam. even if he moves up theres only 3 relevant fights and 2 of those guys are with haymon so the jacobs scenario would probably just happen. ggg needs to retire or go to mma. hes apparently too dangerous for boxing.

                  Golovkin has plenty of options as there will always be bums to fight. He can fight Charlie Z and his fans will stay satisfied.

                  Ward called him out, he ducked. Lara called him out, he ducked. Badou Jack is calling him out, he's ducking.

                      The bum Jacobs would be as irrelevant as that other bum Peter Q. Without that fake title they are nothing, no names, no star power having bums. #FACTS
