Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Golovkin Opponents B-Class; I'm A Lot Different Than That

[Cinci Champ]

“His top opponent, which was what, Kell Brook?"

Stopped reading there. Not interested in Jacobs's assessments of Golovkin's opponents if he says something ******ed like that.

brook was the best boxer he has ever faced if not for the size difference hence why u continue reading to put what he said in context

Good fight and will be golovkins best win if he gets it as I expect him too. Jacobs has the power to stop any man I'm not a golovkin fan but if he wins this I'll give him credit.

How is Jacobs a better win than Murray?

GGG's top opponent was Canelo - I mean he completely exposed someone considered a "Mexican warrior" into draining himself to hide at a catch weight for years and completely destroyed his reputation around the entire world. I'd say that GGG damaged Canelo more than Floyd did.

STFU PUNK! I will beat the fucc out of you for running your mouth like the b itch you are! Canelo will beat little g when the fight does happen and I will beat you on the same night!

We finally get to see how GGG deals with a big middleweight with probably as much talent as he does. Jacobs just neds to put on so more weight so if GGG goes in bully mode he won't be throwing him around the ring like a lil b****

I'm not sure what you are trying to imply here. You are aware that Golovkin is considered to be a small middleweight, yes? He typically weighs in at 158-59 and walks into the ring somewhere in the vicinity of 168-72. His walking around weight is about the same. Just about all of his opposition, including Kell Brook, have outweighed him on fight night. He is not one of these guys that cuts tons of weight and blows up, like Canelo or Charlo. He is a small middleweight. Furthermore, he doesn't throw guys around the ring. He is not someone who holds wrestles and clinches. He can bully someone because he has terrific footwork and knows how to properly cut off the ring. He is always in place and on balance, ready to punch. That has nothing to do with size. It has everything to do with skill.

Murray has never won a world title, Jacobs has, Jacobs has one of the best knockout percentages of any world title holder, his power is legit. Jacobs has an impressive win over kid chocolate who
I'd
Take to beat Murray that's why he's better in my opinion.

And Jacobs is B+ ?

Trust me brother, I like Jacobs and I give him props for beating Quillin in style. But look at his 10 most recent opponents and squeeze in his 1st round KO against Quillin, there's absolutely no way to convincingly say he's number #2 in the division. He's definitely got his hands full, he hasn't prepared well against the right opposition. Personally I think his style is ripe for GGG but let's hope for a good scrap either way.

Now Canelo, don't get me started against that coward. You hit the nail on the head, GGG already beat him scared. Somehow he needs to "grow" into his middleweight body so he vacates like the proud Mexican that he claims to be then after 1 fight he's ready to now fight a super middleweight. Coward, that's how he can best be described. I pray that he lands the Chavez fight. Although the brat hasn't given a very good account of himself in recent time, I think if he prepares well against Canelo, he has enough pop and size to break down Canelo. Canelo isn't dictating any size advantage and I hope Chavez ruins his GGG party!

I think Jacobs is the second best Middleweight clearly because Canelo doesn't fight at Middleweight; he fights at 154, 168 (now against Chavez Jr., and at Canelo-weight aka 155. Jacobs beat a very high ranking undefeated Middleweight - let's give him his props. GGG is fighting the other best Middleweight in the world and this is a legit top tier v. top tier fight. The winner of this fight should be lb for lb number 1 because Ward received a gift and doesn't deserve to be no. 1 off of a loss turned into a win by 3 corrupt ******* judges from Nevada.

GGG˙s best fight opponent was Lemieux so far. Lemieux is not considered as elite, but he would stop "elite" Cotto, i think.

Hey I didn't think this fight was going to happen but I'm glad it came off. This is the best fight that could possibly be made at middleweight right now! Daniel Jacobs is a feel good story with real power. He's put together an impressive string since the Pirog loss and now it all comes to a head when he meets the middleweight destroyer! Two guys that will show up to knock each other out. Neither is a one dimensional fighter. These are punchers that can box. I for one cannot wait until this fight happens! This is already the most anticipated fight of 2017! I tip my hat off to Jacobs for taking this fight and for Golovkin for taking a real risk before the Canelo fight. IMO this will give Triple G more leverage in the Canelo negotiations IF he is able to get by the dangerous Jacobs. Whether Canelo cash grabs with Chavez Jr, or paper belt grabs with Saunders, it won't match what Gennady is doing by fighting the clear #2 guy at 160. This would be the equivalent of Canelo fighting Charlo at 154 for JMW supremacy. We know he isn't looking to do that. Now that Triple G has done this, all the pressure is on Canelo to accept the September fight or look bad.

Actually Jacobs is the B-Class fighter and everyone ELSE GGG fought was C-Class or worse. Brook is A-Class but NOT two weight higher than he's ever fought before. And is now 0-1.
