Comments Thread For: Daniel Jacobs To Rep 'Brooklyn Boxing' in Gennady Golovkin Fight

[Johnny thunders]

Golovkin has an offer on the table, with K2 not mentioning a single word to doubt it, for $15m to fight Saul Alvarez.

If Alvarez was truly "so afraid", putting $15m on the table for a fight is a ****ty way to show it.

First it was 10 now it's 15 right?? And Canelo vs Chavez is happening but Oscar just said he never said that lmao why not 60-40 canelos favor? Why wit everybody else they get percentage but wit ggg he has to get a flat fee?? Lol I told u already it's a tactical move by Oscar and he actually has some sheeps believing him lmao they know fighting ggg is a risk to their whole brand and they are not willing to risk that. It's ok. We get it. Just understand that Canelo is no longer the man. Ggg is. The face of boxing. The most popular and most talked about is ggg. Without ggg Canelo will never have a legacy and it's that simple. Him not fighting ggg will hurt his career more than it will hurt ggg.

Oh and btw Ronnie shields said he will not put him in there wit ggg. But he would put Charlo in there wit Canelo because we all know why lol he feels they can beat Canelo but not ggg.

Charlo and Canelo are the same weight. Golovkin is bigger. You understand that right?

... or the winner can simply get Billy Joe Saunders in the ring, relieve him of that final belt (talent or not, BJS looked like **** in his last fight), and sit "king of the mountain" waiting on the next challengers to emerge.

I agree. Billy Joe Saunders is keeping that belt hostage ducking EVERYONE. The only guy he isn't ducking is that bum Eubank Jr.

Yes but Canelo is not staying at 154 anymore it's time for him to move up and stop bullying ppl at 154 because that is not weight he belongs at. He belongs at 160 the least he can't ever make that weight and has had to pay fighters off on the side so they don't back out like he did wit Angulo. Even Liam smith knows this problem that's why he said if he doesn't make 154 again I'm not fighting him. So Ronnie was asked about that knowing that Canelo will soon be officially 160 and said he would rather put him in there wit Canelo first and then later on maybe ggg. He thinks he can beat Canelo already but not ggg. It's ok to think that I'm just letting u know real recognize real

All these Brooklyn fighters who talk up being from Brooklyn, Quillin, Malignaggi, Jacobs, BK doesn't give a fck about them, last fighter they cared about was Zab.

It was actually Mike Tyson, if we're talking on a large scale.

Lol but with Zab it was because he was not humble, he talked a lot, caused pre fight drama, post fight drama, during-the-fight drama, and was part of some Brooklyn hip hop videos. Also, remember that video of him playing a dice game and a fight breaking out with him right in the middle of it? Unfortunately, that type of behavior is what repping Brooklyn is. Really, Daniel Jacobs should have the better backing behind him, he just doesn't talk enough trash or get in trouble with the law.

Daniel Jacobs should have the better backing behind him, he just doesn't talk enough trash or get in trouble with the law.

And Jacobs will have a huge turnout for him at MSG.

He's getting a pretty penny against GGG without having to play the coon, buffoon, "typical" role you've seen Broner/Mayweather play.

He's getting the money without selling out. I love it!!!

Let's go Danny

Thts not why BK loved Zab, they loved him because he came up at a time when boxing was still a big sport, and the golden gloves still mattered and he was a multi-glove winner.

When Zab was a amateur he was a bit of phenom, people thought he was going to be sweet pea but with power. He Would put on a show at those tournaments.

Cotto? Lara? Trout? Mosley? Lopez? ffs Amir Khan is a better win

How is Khan a better win? Jacobs is no.2 MW - same weight class as Golovkin. Khan was coming up 8lbs and was never considered no.2 even at WW never mind at LMW or MW.

I'll give you Cotto from your list. Trout, when he fought Canelo, was on a par with Jacobs now. Lara beat or at least drew with Canelo in my eyes. Lopez??

[SkillspayBills]

Anyone from my city knows how it is. Brooklynites and New Yorkers in general have a pride in our city that is ineffable.

Jacobs is #3 in a weak division, Khan was top 5 in a stacked division and had advantages against Canelo, Jacobs has no advantage over Golovkin. We all know that Golovkin is gonna win there is no way in hell that Jacobs can win
