GGG basically beat a light heavyweight.

To hear Jacobs' camp tell it, he overslept; to hear Jacobs and his camp tell it, he walked into the ring 176lbs. Point to a single fight where Alvarez has ever walked into the ring at 180lbs.
Lamont Peterson put on that much weight for the Garcia fight, and seemingly had to give up the first 6 rounds to close out the final 6 rounds strong. Chavez Jr put on the weight that he does, but can anyway honestly say that Chavez Jr can keep on a hard 12-round pace with the weight?
Jacobs weighed in at 160lbs on Friday, showed up on fight night, and put forward a hard 12-round fight (fading a bit by the twelfth round, but that could've been due to accumulation to the fight); there's no way that Jacobs could've done that at 180-190lbs that folks are trying to create after the fact.Comment
