Comments Thread For: Jacobs' Trainer Says Pirog Fight Should Have Been Cancelled

[Boxing Goat]

Underrating Mora ? Come on man . Are u serious ? Do u remember the odds for that fight ? It was a fight Danny was supposed to win against a B ( maybe C ) level guy who got a little name recognition winning The Contender . Seems ur trying to justify GGG's opponents weak Chin by hyping up Danny's opposition n his struggles with them . And by the way I think GGG KO's Jacobs before the 4th to make a statement .

Oh, you must be new to boxing and don't know that Mora won the contender show against a who's who of very good prospects including K9 Bundrage and Ishe Smith about 12 years ago or so and went on to beat Vernon Forrest winning a world title. I forgive you being new and naïve.

That said, I agree GGG knocks out or stops Jacobs but I say in 8 rounds or less. I think you are basing too much stock in the fact that Pirog knocked out Jacobs while he was unfocussed.

My apologies " old wise one " but I did watch the Contender . I won't take those wins against Young Prospects ( like himself ) away from Mora . But the Forrest win was a fluke . Forrest came back to avenge that loss 5 months later .

Fluke? Pot calling the kettle black just a little with this whole conversation maybe? I get it, it's a fluke when it's in the favor of your opinion. I think that's the end of our conversation.

I'm not judging Jacobs on his chin, I'm looking at who he's fought. Danny just hasn't been in there with any top fighters except for Quillin. True he stopped Quillin in the first, but like you say a ko could mean a lot of things (like he caught Quillan cold or off balance.)
I'm hoping for a good fight but I'm not buying the media hype about how tough an opponent Jacobs is.

Who has GGG been in with? Lemuiex? Stevens? Who? He fought a bunch of tomato cans. Lemuiex was the only top fighter he fought and he's been in the division for how long? Yet everyone is avoiding him? He has 154 lbers, 160 lbers, and 168 lbers and he fights Kell Brook? Willie Monroe Jr? Come on man. Jacobs is his toughest test yet. And Jacobs hasn't fought a lot of top fighters. But he gets props because him and Quillin was the best fight he can make. He took it and won it in impressive fashion. Besides Canelo, Ward, Lara, Charlo, this is the the best fighter GGG can fight. And it will by far be his toughest challenge even if the guys resume isn't impressive. He's better than all the other guys GGG fought.

Damn, the Brooklynite, and people making fun of Jacobs cause he had cancer, to be easy work, but the Miracle man stood tall...
