Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Saunders Called Out Amir Khan - Hard To Respect Him!

[Edward90]

You can bet your life that Eddie Hearn will do a better job of publicising and promoting Jacobs than Haymon and DiBella ever did.

*shrugs* Haymon isn't a promoter and DiBella didn't have incentive to continuously pronote him because there was no long term contract. Either way, I don't really care. Whoever can make the best fights happen is the one to go with.

Jacobs is just stating an obvious fact that 'most' seem to get.

Errol Spence is truly a gifted and exciting welterweight who would be sparked in no time should he be ****** enough to share the ring with such a big talented fighter like Jacobs.

Amir Khan has no credence in that division and very little in his own.

I don't expect Jacobs to call out a WW. Just pointing out that Canelo and GGG already fought WWs.

bjs another brit, b1tch C level domestic level, inbred, mediocre coward. When was the last time britain ever produced a world class fighter?



NEVER.

Breadman thinks BJS vs Khan would be a good 50/50 match-up. Can't see it myself, tbh.

Who knows. I don't think it's a good match up nor does it say much for BJS that he wants to fight a friggin' welterweight who was KO'd in his last fight ages ago. If it is a 50/50 matchup, BJS has no chance against any of the best middleweights out there. Maybe BJS is being realistic about his chances against Golovkin, Canelo and Jacobs but if he this fight gets made, all his talk about wanting to fight the best is pure BS.

Brook called out GGG...

He did, and GGG accepted, after GGG dissed Canelo for fighting Amir Khan.

He dissed Canelo for choosing to fight Amir Khan instead of him. Big difference.

BJS wants a payday. Canelo/GGG are busy and nobody knows who Jacobs is.

Nobody knows who Jacobs is? That's funny because he's already achieved more than BJS with a close fight against GGG. Maybe you mean casual fans in the UK may not know who Jacobs is but that doesn't mean Saunders should duck him. Jacobs is a Matchroom boxer now so anyone who is a half serious boxing fan should either get to know him or will know him very soon. All anyone outside of the UK knows about BJS is he is a paper champion with a bad attitude who should not be taken seriously. If the paying British boxing public support this joke of a match up of BJS vs Khan, they are just validating and perpetuating such foolish, meaningless fights.

BJS's first choice opponent is Golovkin. I don't think he would beat GGG but I'd make him favourite over Canelo and 50/50 with Jacobs. Styles make fights.

Why is Jacobs picking on Saunders? Canelo fought Khan too, and GGG fought Brook. Jacobs should be calling out Errol Spence Jr. just to keep pace with the MW division.

Canelo didn't go out of his way to call out Khan, Khan was interested in the fight. Khan knew Canelo was a good payday and he thought he had a competitive edge in terms of speed and skill (to his detriment) he was trying to outshine Mayweather, who he still was hoping to get a shot at. Plus, Canelo at the time was viewed as a smaller MW. Saunders went out of his way to call out Khan is the difference.

No, he dissed Canelo for choosing to fight Khan, and called it a "business fight." Remember, "GGG is not business man!"
