Spence is an A level Jacobs is B-ball yet Jacobs is better

[Sheldon312]

I don't get it what exactly makes an A- else fighter. Spence is great but he doesn't have the Iq or skill set of Jacobs. Yet, people say Spence is A-level and Jacobs is B-Level

I said that. You have to look at talent vs performance.

What makes Jacobs B+ is his loss to Pirog and his weak ass chin against the Pretender Sergio Mora. Mora can't crack an egg, but somehow dropped Jacobs.

A- level talent, with B+ level performances.

Jacobs isn't more skilled than The Truth. Spence has better fundamentals and his win over Kell is better than any of Jacobs' wins.

Spence > Jacobs > Charlo

Pirog gets underrated on this board. He had elite defense and pretty good offense. Jacobs has an argument for beating GGG whereas Spence beat a broken Brook.

Almost everyone mentioned on this forum is an A level fighter...in the top .1% of professional boxers.

Agreed!

Pirog beat a broken Jacobs that was suffering from early symptoms of spinal cancer. Dude could barely walk as it progresed which wasn't even a year later after the Pirog loss. I'm 100% sure it impacted his performance.

Pirog got lucky and hadn't fought anybody since. He's not even out of the prospect range with 20 fights/wins.

Being out isnce 2012, it's official: Pirog is a nobody and will always be a nobody.

How bout we consider them both B+ level & make discussions about this when they start having more names on their resume.

[RyanjLarose]

Agreed!

That dude made one of the dumbest f'ing posts of all times. I was tempted to reply to it but it would've been a waste of time.
