Jacobs maybe won respect but i dont think he will suddenly make big cash , he will stay at stable level.

Yeah both guys looked to survive and rely in their fanbase/idiotic internet users to propel the myth of a robbery. The same idiot saying Jacobs was robbed are the idiots who said Lara was robber.
Neither man stepped up to the champion and took the fight to him.
like I said after the Lara/Canelo fight: the Cuban failed to show any dog in him.Comment

I see your point. Both dudes fought rather passively. If they were more aggressive, maybe they win?
Or maybe they get KTFO. Both were fighting good punchers.
I would fault Lara more, bc he fought much more passively.
And bc its the story of Lara's career. Fight passively, make a fight that you should win, or could win close, then get a L or a draw and complain about the result.
Lara has a special talent for turning a W into a disputed L.
Jacobs doesn't have history of doing this. He may be kicking himself because if he just did a bit more, he would be considered a p4per right now. But he was in with THE MOST FEARED KO artist in boxing, so its understandable.
Like someone mentioned, Jacobs star probably rose with this fight. Meanwhile Lara is going on what, 5 years of complaining about his career.Comment

So Danny ran? WTF The only real knock I have on Danny in the fight was he could of been far more effective with the jab. Outside of that he fought an excellent fight. Was he really suppose to just stand in front of GGG the whole fight and exchange firepower? He stood his ground in spots and touched GGG up with some nice combos in several rounds. He also did some respectable body work. Some of ya'll talking like he ran a track meet and just tried to pot shot and hold his way to victory. Total nonsense.Comment

Danny won't be a star because there are no stars at 160 other than the guy he questionably lost toComment

It is unfair to compare Jacobs to Lara.
Lara has made a career of underperforming in fights and complaining about the decision. I don't think I have EVER SEEN Lara and not thought "he should do more to try to win." I mean he was getting outhustled by Perro freaking Angulo!? If you have high aspirations, you need to handle a dude like Angulo. I laughed when the first Vanes fight was a draw, b/c even though I though Lara won, he stunk it just enough that a draw was reasonable. And Lara might have beat Canelo if he did more.
The OP makes it seem like he's comparing only 1 fight from each dude, Jacobs v. GGG & Lara v. Canelo, but that fails to recognize that Lara has a wide body of work where he turns a W into a L, or a lackluster disputed W.
I do hope Jacobs star rises a bit with this. He performed well. He fought passively at times, but he didn't run. But he was in with a HUGE PUNCHER. And he was very close to winning. I cant fault Jacobs like I fault Lara.Comment

He might not become a PPV star but his stock is higher today then it was on Friday there is no doubt about that. Fans want to see him again he will get another big fight. That's why it's foolish to compare him to lara who ran and tarnished his name in that fight. His stock plummeted after that fight. Jacobs didn't run he out landed GGG in power shots when you land almost 150 power shots how can anyone compare you to a marathon coward sprinter like Lara. He boxed and was cautious but far from running.Comment
