Jacobs has a better chance of beating cancer again than beating GGG, but that being said - people saying Canelo was scared didn't seem to tick him off enough...

What is even more laughable is that people were saying Triple G was the one stalling the negotiations and that he did not want to fight. Point is, is that Jacobs knows the chances of his career getting destroyed it's very high so he wants to get as much money as he can like he's cashing outComment

He's definitely not scared to get knocked out only if the price is rightComment

Mayweather didn't fight Pacquiao until he was old, so all the doubters were right about Mayweather. They said he would either duck Pacquiao completely, or wait until he got old to fight him. They were absolutely right about Floyd. Like Floyd even admitted later on, he fights for business, "not legacy," and that's why he ducked Pacquiao until Pacman got old.
As for Ward, he only just came back after the long layoff with the promotional issues, and already he's talking about retiring after facing the first and only A-level opponent of his entire career. So yeah some people doubted he would face Kovalev at all, and he proved them wrong about that, but otherwise the doubters seem to have basically been correct about Ward, too. Retirement? You jab and grab your way to a hometown decision, basically steal a man's belts, then talk retirement? Really?
As for Jacobs, Jacobs himself said in an interview two years ago he wasn't ready for GGG yet. It's good he was honest but when he then even came out this year with an interview about waiting to fight GGG until 2017, and wanting to "build his brand" first, the writing was on the wall. It's wack for Jacobs to wonder why people thought he was scared of GGG when so many fighters have ducked GGG and his interviews sounded the same as theirs did before they all ducked him. Were we wrong for assuming the worst again?
Jacobs even talked about how getting a 3 mil check to fight GGG still might not be enough, because he could just fight "two Quillins" and make that much instead, so why fight GGG, who he called the greatest of his generation I believe, once, when you can fight Quillin twice for the same money?
I mean hell, when the biggest accomplishment of your career is beating Quillin, because Quillin is supposed to be really dangerous, but then you suggest in an interview that fighting Quillin TWICE would be less risky than fighting GGG just ONCE, that is another red flag that makes it seem to fans like you might be ducking. That's all. How is that an unreasonable conclusion? I mean Jacobs got 1.5 mil to fight Quillin, couldn't even sell out their hometown venue, but then 3 mil wouldn't be enough to fight GGG? When he hinted at that in that interview he did, of COURSE it seemed like he was trying to duck.
And when they called out the December date because Jacobs said he needed an extra special long camp to fight GGG, while GGG was fine to fight Jacobs on a normal camp, that was yet another sign that Jacobs was delaying or looking to avoid the fight. So really how can Jacobs blame us for noticing those worrisome trends at the time?
And how can you blame people for doubting Floyd about Pacquiao, or doubting Ward, or any of these guys, like Gary Russell Jr. and Deontay Wilder when they were fighting TBDs, or doubting Al Haymon himself, when those doubters have basically been proven right about every single one of these guys they doubted on about 90% of the issues they doubted them about?Comment
