    I see no reason for him to stay at 160 really apart from getting all the belts. If he wants to fight Jacobs and then Saunders to unify everything then that's fair enough but that should be wrapped up by March. I see no reason at all for him to stay at 160 apart from a Canelo fight.

    The problem is there isn't even any big money fights or great wins at 168 that people will give him credit for. Someone like DeGale is a good fighter but he hasn't looked great recently and if Golovkin beat him, people will just say DeGale struggled with Porky Medina etc.

    He isn't really going to get full credit until he beats a top LHW in my opinion. He's just at that stage now where his wins would be a great win for anybody else, just not him. A bit like Floyd was, he's a fighter that could beat other champions and a top 5 in his division and still get no credit.

        Sorry to ruin the party, this is not a good fight. It's a one sided beat down in the making.

        Bank on it
        Amazing in depth analysis. Watch out Max.

          Exactly. This is why Jacobs is making the deal impossible and pricing himself out of the fight. He don't want it.

          They all say they want it until it's time to deal, then they vacate, run, or retire.

            You are probably right but Jacobs has fast accurate punches with real power in both hands and he is a great finisher. Look what he did to Quillen. I expect GGG to KO him quickly as you say. But Jacobs is a very dangerous middleweight with a chance to beat anybody. I am a big GGG fan but I will be a little nervous for him until the fight is over. Jacobs can't take GGG's power so his only chance is to hurt GGG first.

              He has a puncher's chance.

                I think it would be a great fight, but I think Jacobs can win a decision, or even stop GGG real late. Golovkin doesn't seem to pack a wallop late and he does seem to tire.

                Jacobs does have a suspect chin, but his recuperative powers are like Larry Holmes or Evander. Don't know how GGG recups.

                  Like how GGG is pricing himself out with Canelo?

                    Canelo isn't even ready to fight him for a year lol. Everybody in the business is saying a flat fee is garbage for this fight, but you know better
