    You are so ****** man, and so full of ****.

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

      I think Daniel Jacobs is as big as anyone in recent memory. Pavlik was pretty big( I thought it was part of his reason for decline, cutting to much weight).
      James Toney comes down from 260

        Jacobs said he was around 175. Why should we believe Conte over Jacobs?

            Conte is legit now?

            There's no legit source to Jacobs weight.

              If Conte is not legit I wonder what is Jacobs doing working with him... with an expert in PED use.

              But Nevermind. Yeah, maybe Jacobs was only 175 and Conte was lying, it's possible.

                Monzon always looked like a big damn middleweight. And Hopkins was very big for his class too.

                  GGG stans are a bit over exaggerating Jacob's size. He's definitely a pretty big MW, but still about the same size as guys like Hopkins, JT, Chavez, ect. It's not that uncommon for any fighter +135 to put on 15 or more pounds after a weigh in. From a combination of height, length, weight, and strength and power, Kelly Pavlik was definitely up there, I'd like to know a world class MW who was bigger than him.
