Comments Thread For: Daniel Jacobs: Saunders, Lemieux Are Very Limited, B-Level Guys

[_original_]

jacobs is b level. he just lost to a past it ggg. it reminded me of calzaghe kessler with the prime guy losing. except people didnt give kessler credit just for surviving like the calzaghe fight because calzaghe has no power so of course ggg had higher standards.

Lol c'mon man, Kessler got school while Jacobs fought to a near draw, horrible comparison Daggy.

Jacobs is being gracious saying he's only "a little step better" than those two...and generous giving them the B grade...they are B- at best...

Jacobs is a B+ at his best right now, with the potential to top out at A-...

Canelo and Golovkin are on the cusp between B+ and A- at present...

Canelo has the highest ceiling of all of them...could be a full A someday...

Damn! Everyone on this site seems to rate Jacobs B+

I also agree Saunders and Lemuix are C class fighters. 1 flaw B 2 or more C.

I seem to be less of a DJ fan as time has passed. Last nights performance was sub part for one who claims the be on the “elite” level and maybe there is more hype than true reality to his story then there first appeared to be. Not totally sold anymore. I barely survived GGG and probably got by on adrenaline and fear more than anything. Last nights bout was a lack luster performance with a nonchalant attitude when he should have went into the ring with intentions and got Arias out of there. Arais talked a big game and failed to back it up, DJ failed to punish Arias and make an example out of him,.. instead he acted like a scorned player after the fight and continues to spout of at the mouth. DJ is no better than Lemieux or saunder if he can’t take care of his business in an elite fashion.

My gripe with Jacob is that he needs to throw straight punches and stop with that shoe shining nonsense. If he throws straight punches he could utilize his power effectively. Despite the HBO crew hyping him because he is now their fighter I was not impressed.

Jacobs better stay active and talk less.

The mw division needs to eliminate saunders and lemieux and then narrow it down to the top 4 which are ggg, Canelo, jacobs and charlo. Let those 4 fight it out and we'll see who the best is. Charlo hasn't done much at mw to establish himself but something tells me he could possibly be the last man standing.

I think Jacobs is a level above as well

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Jacobs B-rate? I still pick him to beat Charlo and Andrade. Who have they ever fought?

Honestly Who has Jacobs beat besides Kid Chocolate? Answer the question honestly

Agreed, he was wobbling Arias with the straights and upper cuts.

Jacobs beat win at mw is Peter Quillin
