Comments Thread For: Klitschko's Coach on GGG: Jacobs is Tougher Fight Than Canelo

[billfifty]

Jacob chin is still suspect.....Canelo hasn't gone done yet, so I don't know how anyone can state this.

[Bjl12]

Jacobs v GGG is a good fight. With Canelo he will have to do more since his reach is short for his weight class. Again, Canelo is a big, tough, strong guy with a great chin, but he's got a lot working against him in a fight with lil g.

Anyhow, looking forward to this Saturday !!

Unless Jacob's chin really is his achilles heel I agree with this.

I don't think Canelo is a hard fight for GGG. He will control range and break him down. Much harder to control range with Jacobs - he's taller, longer and more moble.

his reach is short and I think he's also kind of a short guy for a middleweight,i think he's strong and a good punch,but I still don'tknow about his chin,kirkland kind of stunned him I think in the first round,a little bit if you look at that fight,and cotto's brother stunned him too,i still need to see him take a good shot against someone as big as him,

[Canelo and GGG]

If Jacobs had chin that could be true cuse he have good size and reach ,canelo is still superior fighter to Danny.

Banks is a good coach out of the Manny Steward school. He knows what he's talking about.

Banks is not a good Coach. Hes just there to stand in the Corner of Wlad but Wlad is training himself and isnt listening to Banks. Banks never had any good fighter besides Wlad by the way.

Interesting comment at the end. Bound to engage a number of people here; "Jacobs is a solid 160lb’er and Canelo is not."

It's hard to be a solid 160 lb'er when you've never even faced one in the ring.

But Canelo is getting right on that soon. After draining down a light heavyweight for a big payday. After that it's all middleweights from now on.

Retired fighter Johnathon Banks, who is now the head trainer for former heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko, believes Daniel Jacobs is the toughest opponent Genandy Golovkin could face at this moment. He feels Jacobs will be a tougher opponent than Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

not really.....not at all.

There is a lot to that opinion in my view. It's why I'm not salivating for Alvarez Golovkin like some. Alvarez is short. There is nothing that projects him as a great or even above average middleweight. He would still be competitive in a weak middleweight division, but I'm just not projecting a lot from him at the weight.

Don't worry Canelo will be a better 160er than a 154er, why?? no more extreme draining and no more unhealthy camps.

Canelo's experience with the best of the best in the 154 ****s the 160 division right now, funny to see that's the fight, fans, fighters, trainers, media and specialists want to see but you think is not competitive, well, we'll see.............................
