    Jacobs is not a slick fighter . He is a B- fighter. He was a massive underdog. He was suppose to be tailor made for GGG to knockout early with his fragile chin. Quit hyping Jacobs up now that he arguably beat GGG. Your hype job got exposed by a lower tiered fighter... get over it. GGG is no ATG and once in a lifetime talent like you thought.

      Let's stop acting as Jacobs was all that good, it's just that Golovkin isn't as good as he was hyped

        Almost everyone Floyd fought was bigger than him. Floyd also fought many prime fighters..Corrales, Castillo 2x, Hatton, Maidana 2x, Canelo, Corley, Chavez, C. Hernandez.

        Floyd was outweighed by Castillo by 10lbs, Corrales also outweighed him by 10lbs, Maidana outweighed him by 17lbs, no one will ever know the weight disparity of May-Canelo but it's safe to put Mayweather at 148-150 and Canelo at 165-170 because that's what he weighed at the time when he did show his fight night weight in other fights like Trout (171lbs).

              You gave jacobs zero chance in this match, now acting like he is elite..
              Just show me one source that considered jacobs elite or p4p before this fight, and please dont give me kigali or chollo...

                Go through my whole post history and quote me saying Jacobs was anything more than a B fighter.

                  Corralles tailor made? What the ***. Golovkin hasn't even fought an Arturo gatti level fighter yet

                    If Floyd fought Jacobs (assuming they were in the same weight class) haters would just say Floyd beat a recovering cancer patient

                      All were prime imo
                      All had ko power and in Chico and Judah both had speed wait not sure abouthe Chico speed
                      Judah lost to baldomir. Would a jacobs ever lose to someone like baldomir? Chico was slow as hell and weight drained. Easy pickings.
