“We predict Daniel Jacobs will step into the ring around 178-180. This is war,” says Victor Conte per Pugmire."

so if the IBF sees that one of their Champions is participating in another sanctioning body's Championship bout, the IBF makes their Champion also defend it? It makes sense since that's how they make their revenue.
So basically Golovkin had to comply with the IBF's own rules or else it would become vacant, win or löse? Am I understanding the rules correctly?
If that's the case, Jacobs' has justified himself in saying that the IBF was on Golovkin's part. I don't see how this is Jacobs' fault.

This is a complete non-issue. Golovkin's fought bigger guys before, and he will again. Jacobs's size is not why he did well.

You think it was some neligible difference in the weight, well I dont. I know what I saw the other night, and it was one guy being much bigger than the other one.
As for the later part. First, I consider Jacobs to be the 2nd best MW and certainly better much better than B level fighter. He would beat any oher MW ncluding Canelo. Gennady was somehow less active and probably can do better, but he still clearly won and he outlanded, knocked down, hurt multiple times the elite opponent in the meantime. As Abel said 7/10 is the mark for his performance.
Next time it will likely be much worst for Jacobs.
