and for me i give him an A-. Think hes being underrated a bit, the loss to pirog was a long time ago. Since then hes destroyed highly touted peter quillin and beat the latin snake twice.

If GGG is an A+ fighter, which I believe he is, then Jacobs would be an A-.
Jacobs is the quintessential boxer/puncher - he has good movement, a quick, stinging jab that he sets up combinations with, and he is good at dictating range.
I really like his footwork, and foot-speed, which I think is better than Golovkins (at least his foot-speed, maybe not dexterity; definitely not dexterity - as this is GGG's best quality that sets everything else up that he does - balance and dexterity - his power starts at his feet).
He's a bit rangier than Glolovkin, but GGG being one of the rare boxers who is both a pressure fighter, AND a counter-puncher, should be able to overcome Jacobs' edge in speed, and length.
I think in order to beat GGG, which Jacobs definitely has the tools to do so, if anyone does - he HAS to get his shots off first - even if basic 1-2's, 2-3-2's, etc. then TIE HIM UP before GGG gets his feet planted in range of Jacobs.
he needs to alternate between pivoting out (GGG will eventually figure this pattern out if that's all he does), AND TYING him up. Frustrate him, and outwork him for 12 rounds.

Danny is a good fighter but his resume is as skinny as a stage 4 cancer patient.
Jacobs caught Quillan cold and stopped him early, but how much did that prove? Other than that, he had 2 fights with a faded Mora, whose barely top a 30 fighter.
I rate Danny a strong B.

B. He's a good fighter. Has the capability of being elite but he needs that breakout performance. Fighters lose, so I'm not hanging onto the Pirog loss like others are. He was young and we'll see against GGG if he's actually learned from his past mistakes to make the leap to the A level
