Lemiuex was like the same height as GGG.
Jacobs being 6'1" is not a crazy physical attribute like Wlad against other Heavies from 2005-2015, in which he ruled a HW division where he towered over all the good heavies by a wide margin. In Jacobs vs GGG we're talking about a couple of inches. Jacobs actual best physical attribute is actually his reach, which is a more important advantage than height. 73" vs 70" for GGG. But if Jacobs goes in there and doesn't jab, then reach is pretty much not an advantage then.Comment

Funny when people bring up Brook or Wade/Monroe landing on GGG when it was obvious GGG didnt respect their power..he will fight Jacobs like Lemieux and Stevens - Careful and Calculated pressure til Jacobs withers around 6-7 RDS. Easy wrk.Comment

I think those odds are a pretty accurate reflection of the type of opponent Jacobs is. Much better than Lemieux but a level or two beneath Canelo.
GGG is a lot better than Jacobs and Jacob's chin is questionable - the odds reflect this reality.Last edited by BrometheusBob.; 12-22-2016, 03:30 PM.Comment
