what level is daniel jacobs?

[iamboxing]

Are you for real ? Golovkin has destroyed everything in his path, he's systematically destroyed opponents in a fashion they've never been beat before and they're never the same afterwards.

GGG haters are the biggest morons on this site, I swear if this guy was black and American he'd be the best fighter that ever lived.

Jacobs has shown great pedigree only GGG has shown better pedigree.

I agree. He demolishes them and the cab they came in with.

Good B level.

Lets not act like there were killers in his path man...The Jury is still out on GGG's level aswell

LeMule is definitely killer level. He may be one dimensional and have weaknesses but he is still an aggressive fighter who is always a threat and that's exactly what a killer is.

The Jury might be out for you, but I put Golovkin in the same tier as Lomachenko, Kovalev, Ward, Fury, Rigo, and Roman - elite.

There isn't some defining fight out there that is a real "test" for him on the horizon either.

Canelo? He's a money fight, but anyone who thinks Canelo is on Golovkin's level DKSAB. Canelo will have as much of a chance with Golovkin in the ring as he did with Floyd. It might solidify him more with "star" status but Canelo isn't some world beater defining win, he's just a popular face - that doesn't make you better than if you were less popular.

Hard to say really.

As of now, If Golovkin is the best MW, and the ones further behind are the likes of Lee, Lemieux etc. etc. then I'd say Jacobs is somewhere in the middle.

I rank him about the same as Billy Joe Saunders, who is a very good fighter at his best, despite how bad he was in his last performance but there was valid reasons for that i think. I think Saunders and Jacobs probably bridge the gap between the likes of Golovkin and the likes of Lemieux, Lee etc.. I know Saunders isn't a popular fighter but i believe he would probably have outboxed the likes of Geale, Macklin, Murray etc as he did with Andy Lee.

He's B level.

I don't know why people are excited about this fight?

[Larry the boss]

I agree. He demolishes them and the cab they came in with.

damn.............lol

Golovkin is elite Jacobs is contender level, he's better than BJ Flounders and Lemiuex who i would say are solid B class Jacobs is A and Golovkin is ahead of them all.

Good post.

It's actually crazy how much I find myself agreeing with you when the topic isn't Fury and the HW division.

B+ to me. Jacobs can be tier 1 but his loss to Pirog leaves a question mark. He's still very capable of upsetting ggg, imo

Why do you speak of losing to Pirog as if that should lower the value of a fighter? Pirog was an exceptionally talented fighter who in my opinion is criminally underrated all time.

Find me a guy who has done what GGG has to the level of competition he has fought, don't worry Lazarus I don't mind waiting...

That's because I'm the most unbiased guy on here with no agenda unless its regarding Klitschko.

Jacobs hasn't really been tested so far imo, his only test was supposed to be the Quillin fight and he KOed him in 1 round, but I can't really grade him off of that alone, I'd say according to the eye test he's B+ level, he's gonna show in the GGG fight if he's A- or B-. GGG himself is not an A+ opponent at least he hasn't shown it yet, but if he beats Jacobs he's at least A- imo.

Pirog tested his chin and he got KTFO so he has definitely been tested.
