anyone else think jacobs is being underrestimated?

[The Big Dunn]

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.

Thats fair. However, the people I am talking about gravitate toward Manny and GGG primarily for non boxing related reasons. It's unfair to lump them in with guys like SUbzeroed, kafkod and pothers that like GGG primarily for boxing ability and skills.

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.

agreed ^.....

bookmakers disagree.

Skill wise Jacobs and Golovkin is closer than Canelo and Chavez, but style wise we know the second Golovkin lands on that fragile chin of Jacobs it's over, but in the Canelo-Chavez fight it's two guys who have great chins, power, and can throw combo's going at it

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.

My thoughts exactly.

Jacobs vs Canelo would be competitive, GGG ices them both maybe Canelo goes the distance but it takes 5-6 years off his career if he does and he'll never be the same fighter. I think Jacobs will benefit being knocked out early and keep some stock as the Brits have kept faith with Kell ' The **** Toucher' Brook. His stock has apparently elevated in defeat !

Brilliant post.

I do feel Jacobs Canelo is competitive and give Jacobs the edge with skill, speed and footwork. Not that Saul aint fast or skilled but for me boxing is about levels and Jacobs is a level above.

Is Jacobs being underestimated or Golovkin overrated?

Just make your prediction bro. Who wins in the Jacobs/GGG fight and why? Be a fan even just for a minute or so.

It's a 50/50 fight for me leaning slightly on Jacobs.

its more like 60/40 fight in favor of GGG because GGG chin looks like it made of Iron while Jacobs chins is made of sheet rock

it should be a good fight nonetheless

Jacobs has the power to make GGG's chin look like sheet rock.

The pirog loss was a long time ago, and jacobs has learnt from this and matured as a fighter, defeating well respected middleweights in sergio mora and peter quillin. I think he is a legitimate threat in this fight, and talk of golovkin fighting canelo is premature, cause hes arguably fighting a more dangerous opponent here. I think this could be a real 50/50 fight, two explosive power punchers slugging it out, no chin is indestructable; if jacobs lands a big shot he could win this.. Think this could be a real fight of the year contender and it could be a hagler hearns type fight... Dont count jacobs out from shocking the world.

I don't think if you point out that Jacobs has a bad chin or think that GGG has a much better you are underestimating him
