Geale and Murray ain't never been handled the way in which they were, so what you trying to prove GGG doesn't maul his opposition ? You're ****** if you're trying to sell this as it discredits the hype if Jacobs does in fact win which I have emphasised why i do not believe it will happen, as I said I'm not discussing it further.Comment

a good punch from either side can change this fight, deep down inside everyone knows this. and please stop bringing up that damn Curtis stevens hook that geegeeg walked through when this is said. gee wiz!Comment

I want him to unify 168 because I believe he'd clear the decks there, not even Groves beat Murray as convincingly as GGG beat him. I thought he had the beating of Jack too and I expect Zurdo to put up a brave effort but maybe be the first to go 12. Groves gets stopped.
Smith could potentially beat GGG but I'd expect Golovkin to pass on that fight like he should pass on ever facing Andre Ward.Comment

Marcos Primera stopped Stevens on one days notice!

He stopped that midget one day after learning about the fight.Comment

Those two are the epitome of mediocre.Comment

my point is that every popular fighter has those crazy ******ed fans that can't be reasoned with, since i've been reading this forum i came across crazy Mayweather fans, crazy Wlad fans etc. take any popular fighter (usually one that is the best in their division) and you would have a handful of fans that give a bad name to the rest of the fans.Comment

I think Jacobs would beat Canelo. He has the arm reach, size, power and speed. Canelo's slow feet would be a big detriment against a tall, rangy, fast, powerful fighter like Jacobs.Yes. Because boxing fans think once someone loses their "0" they are garbage.
I do think Jacobs has improved since the loss. While I think GGG is a much better fighter -- at least a 2 to 1 favorite, Jacobs is dangerous. He has good power. From what Ive seen GGG has a good chin, so that mitigates the danger a bit.
Jacobs is an OK boxer -- not great. He's so big, he should try to fight more rangier (esp against a dude like GGG, who you do not want to get into his wheelhouse), but I havent seen him control distance in that manner.
But I would favor Jacobs over all other MWs except GGG and maybe Canelo
So it should be an interesting fight - a fight worthy of deciding THE CHAMP at MW.Comment

I've seen a few posters here that realize Jacobs is a real threat and a competitive fight for Golovkin but I still think people are really underestimating him. I wouldn't bet on this fight because I believe it could go either way. If Jacobs has his head together and is really focused I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him win.Comment
