If GGG destroys Jacobs he deserves respect

[Larry the boss]

This is a real challenge and if he tears Jacobs apart then he deserves his props. 2017 could be his defining year if he can beat Jacobs and then beat Canelo..He would definitely be fighter of the year in my opinion unless Ward beats down Kovalev in the rematch and then beat Stevenson or vice versa with Kovalev beating Ward and Stevenson

Let's hope all those fights happen. 2017 should be good.

2017 on paper is looking Sick already

[Joe Beamish]

From your lips to God's ears:

-- Canelo/GGG
-- Kovalev/Ward rematch

I doubt either will happen, but yeah

[Jsmooth9876]

I think he already deserves respect, he's knocked out like 22 straight guys and many top 10 opponents...who else is even close to that right now? I know Jacobs has like 11 or 12 as well which is good...

Good post

100 % agree

[puro dinamita]

agreed jacobs is a good quality opponent for GGG

[Outwest Exp 355]

No question Jacobs is a solid contender who earned his shot.

[BoxingPugilist]

GGG deserves respect right now based on what he's already accomplished. However if he solidly defeats Jacobs, the last of the GGG deniers will be completely exposed as simply disliking him and thus extrapolating that dislike out to unwarranted attacks on his skills.

Bring on the rest of 2017.
