    how is he scared of charlo? jacobs isn't obligated to fight charlo, golovkin is.

    so what does jacobs have to do with charlo?

    im tired of the deflecting.

    the bottom line is charlo is the wbc mandatory. golovkin or canelo have to deal with him. dont try to put him off on anybody else.

        its a easy decision to stay at 160. the money and the glory is at 160.


        who is jacobs gonna fight after he beats truax? eubank vs groves is the semifinal not the final so they still have another fight to get through after they fight each other. so jacobs wouldnt get one of those guys until next year.

        going to 168 makes no sense for jacobs.
        Winner of Groves Eubank will win the whole tournament, Smith or Braehmer ain't gonna beat them.

        Someone is going to have to see Groves or Eubank winner. Might as well be Jacobs should he get an opportunity with Truax 2. Then Benavidez and Ramirez, we can hype more fights. Jacobs vs Eubank Jr. is a mega fight. Lots of money.

          Where did I hate on Eubank? Degale gets that title back of Truax, thatll be where Eubank goes after the WBSS. Fight could still be massive. One of the Sauerlands also said the 168 winner could move up to the next division if the tournament was to happen there.

            Suleyman has severed ties with Canelo Alvarez. With all the pandering he helped K2 publicize with the WBC, why should he feel the need to pay their fees in defending it. Suleyman fugged up, his dad wouldn't approve.

              Jacobs is more lucrative than Brook...

              Jacobs options:

              Caleb Traux 168 IBF
              Eubank Jr. !?

              K2 and Abel get the opportunity or crack at Jacobs at 168 after Jacobs takes Caleb's belt.

              Is there a conflict of interest for Matchroom and an American fighter in prioritizing? This way when Wilder smashes Joshua, Hearn won't feel too bad about losses.
              Because the HBO deal is only for three fights, and the biggest fight that can be made for Jacobs is an Alvarez fight at 160, a bout that puts more money into his pocket than fighting both Truax and Eubank Jr.

              Jacobs wanted Billy Joe Saunders, but promoter issues likely killed that fight.

              Jacobs puts forward another good performance, and he's in the path to box Golovkin again (without the fear of fighting some machine, I see Jacobs boxing his ears off) or finally give Alvarez a reason to fight in New York.

              He can move to 168 later

                Jacobs signed a multiple deal for HBO and Matchroom. Truax and Eubank Jr. are serious fights to be made. I'm fine with Nelo vs Jacobs. I just think Jacobs should prioritize on a 168 title asap

                  Rozier said it's six fights.

                    Jacobs is in a stacked division with the top fighters in the world...why would he move up? The top 160 guys are on HBO where there are great match ups to be made. Two of the top 10 p4p fighters are also at 160.

                    If anything, him moving up to 168 is a duck. You run toward the best competition, not from it.

                      168 sucks ass and the fighters that are remotely interesting are in WBSS which will not end until late 2018.

                      Serious, world class fighters don't just move up and down divisions for ****s and giggles. Once you move up, that's a decision you stick with. Ward did it correctly, took his time, let his body grow into it.

                      And 160 is 50x more interesting than 168. This obsession with 'moving up' is dumb.
