Comments Thread For: Hearn: Jacobs Beat Golovkin, He Should Already Be a Superstar!

[Urtain]

Jacobs getting more exposure to the media in a week than in his whole career.

Nothing at all. Good fighter. Is he a fighter that will catapult you into superstar status??? I’ll let you and the rest of boxingscene answer that question. It’s not a knock on Lemieux at all.

Why not. Look at Canelo, he is some kind of superstar, but what is his best win? Is it Lara, Khan, Chavez jr., old Mosley, old Cotto? I think these are all worse fights than lemieux, for example.

A great performance against Lemieux would elevate Jacobs a bit but you're right, Jacobs needs more. The problem is Golovkin and Alvarez aren't available so he's left with Saunders for the WBO or maybe moving up to 168.

So triple L get fed opponents his whole career and became a star right dude step up in his last 2 fight and lost both fight but yet people wanna talk about Jacobs record.

yes I had Jacobs the CW beating GGG 3985621-1 in scoring

Don't blame Hearn, He's just speaking like any other biased promoter. Ya just can't win the championship by getting knocked on you a*&!! Jacobs looked like a very good light heavyweight in that fight who just got out punched and out powered by the smaller man. Can Jacobs even make the middleweight weight limit anymore??? I wish they go back to weighing the fighters in on the day of the fight so these guys who should be fighting in one or two weight classes above them won't be able to fight as middleweights when their light heavyweights. Anyone else see the problem with this?? If your fighting for the middleweight title you should fight as a middleweight and not at light heavyweight. There needs to be some type of real honest weight limit at fight time for cryin out loud. Bad enough we went from 15 rounds to 12 then added a ton of extra divisions and world championship titles but now we have fighters weighing in up to almost 48 hours before a fight then hydrating up one or two weight divisions.

I agree 100%. Jacobs is a CW weight losing to an old smaller MW GGG

Hi, First time posting in a boxing forum, been reading this for a while though! Only got interested in boxing again in the last few years and while this is off topic, some of you seem to really know your stuff, So which type of boxer is generally better? Counter Puncher? Defensive? Pressure fighter? And so I am not completely off topic, I like Jacobs, but that he lost to GGG but did much better the Canelo did.

What makes you think Lemieux or Saunders would fight him???
