Comments Thread For: Golovkin Fight Convinced Jacobs He's Boxing's Best Middleweight

[Bjl12]

There is not much more than a cigarette paper between Jacobs, GGG and Canelo.

What a good problem to have

[daggum]

if jacobs is the best middleweight that means he wont get 3-4 underdog points like he did in the first fight

[Shadoww702]

By losing Canelo did much better than Jocobs . Jacobs hit the floor. Canelo landed the cleaner blows. I think Jacobs is going to lose tonight

I dont know why but I have that same feeling???

rewatched GGG-Jacobs today. Arias is gonna get the **** kicked out of him.

Sometimes you can learn more from a loss than you can from a win but you don't learn nothing if you can't admit that you lost in the first place.

Rankings @ Middleweight:

#1. CANELO
#2. GGG
#3.Saunders/Jacobs

People said that Jacobs did very well against Golovkin , because Jacobs was way bigger & had all the physical advantages over Golovkin.
Golovkin had all those advantages over CANELO, & CANELO still beat GGG.

Keep in mind that was CANELO's debut in the weight class, that's what Top P4P fighter's do.

fair point there ^^

the fact that Canelo was the smaller underdog cannot be ignored..... but he needed to be a little more active, in which case the fight may have played out differently

they need a rematch, and so does Golovkin/Jacobs..... because Danny has a damn good case for winning that fight

also, we don't know how Canelo/Jacobs would mesh..... I suspect that Jacobs would have more/different problems with Canelo, and find him much harder to outbox..... also, I suspect that Golovkin stood up to Canelo's punches a lot better than Jacobs would..... Golovkin did not land many clean shots on Jacobs at all, but Canelo will

#styles

but we will have to wait and see..... how those styles would mesh is hard to pick, and sometimes it just takes 1/2 little things that work better against a particular opponent, or do not seem to work as well, etc

too many unanswered questions at middleweight.....

until those questions are answered definitively, I do not feel compelled to rank anyone #1/#2/whatever

some divisions are clear, some are not..... and it is the fighters job to sort out the pecking order, not mine..... if they have not done that, that is on them

I have.....

1) Golovkin/Jacobs/Canelo - those fights were close as hell, there is little separating those guys

4) Saunders - the guys above went 12 rounds with each other, BJS is not there yet..... but he is a factor

5) the rest, with Charlo leading the bunch..... who will likely be right in that mix adding to the unanswered questions at 160

if forced to pick, then you would have to give Golovkin the nod at middleweight..... but he will not be "the man" until those questions are answered

fair point

and neither will Canelo

I know you want to hide behind Charlo so Jacobs don't get that rematch but Charlo has no obligations to Showtime. Doesn't Golovkin have a mandatory due?

Golovkin will face his mando if it’s not a canelo rematch, and thanks for proving another reason why Jacobs ducked by becoming exclusive to hbo.

Golovkin and Jacobs are HBO fighters. Charlo can come over whenever for either. Like I said, Jermall has no contractual obligations to Showtime.

LOL Jacobs getting punched by Triple G one too many times in the head
