Comments Thread For: Jacobs' Manager: We Want Saunders; He's Hiding Behind Promoter

[Mammoth]

Jacobs left Showtime/PBC and ran to HBO/Hearn as soon as Charlo moved up to 160. So let me rephrase it for you.

If Jacobs wanted to fight Charlo, you bet your ass he wouldn't have ran from showtime/PBC.

He's fighting Sulecki, a Haymon guy. On HBO. He was a Haymon guy and he fought GGG on HBO. It's cool to hype Charlo because I like him too but nah, nobody ducked him.

Jacobs is higher than Saunders on the middleweight food chain. Even if only slightly. That’s the point in beating him. He would establish himself as the unquestioned top threat to the Canelo-GGG winner. That’s the point in trying to beat him. You know, competition.

what if he lose ?
if i were him, i'd hold belt hostage till outcome of nelo-GGG

GGG defense force protecting one of his 'victims' again I see here.

Jacobs is a bish azz ***** and he aint ever gonna try and fight a top guy, especially Charlo.

He claims to want a rematch with GGG but why aint he trying to get Charlo's mandatory spot then? Why aint he tryna get Derevychenko or Ryuto Murata's spot then so he can become mandatory?

Coz hez a bish ass ***** that's why, just like his daddy GGG.

Yawl keep defending this bish! But deep down yawl know what's up. Jacobs aint shieet!

I like both fighters, but Saunders has the belt.

If Saunders is willing to fight GGG or Canelo, why should he fight Jacobs?

A unification fight gives Saunders a huge payday AND a chance to get another title.

What does Jacobs offer?

And that's what is soo WRONG with boxing.

And that's what's so WRONG with TV contracts! You can get good MONEY. or good OPPONENTS, but it's hard to get both!

Well whatever the reasoning BJS was right, the fight is a tough one to make now due to Warren/Hearn.

[sweeterscience]

Because it's not obvious... Jacobs entire career will be remembered for almost beating golovkin. Ever since that fight he's been extremely entitled. Has no belts, brings in no money, signs a fight and then starts talking about Saunders. Never seen a guy take so much pride in losing

I agree with you. Jacobs is a terrific fighter and gave GGG a hell of a close shave in losing. But, Jacobs is starting to transition to an Andre Ward-style poor me, everyone is out to get me whiner.

[WallabeeKing]

Should happen in the UK.

We're talking about 2 great fighters, both with high skill sets. I'd give Saunders the edge at this point. He simply has one really slick boxing style that will be nearly impossible to beat. Danny though, is no slouch. And he takes on all comers. However, I don't blame Saunders for waiting until he gets the Canelo/GGG winner. That's simply WAY too big of a money fight to take any chances on not getting. Boxing is a biz, afterall.

But there are some really amazing potential fights on the horizon in the MW division. And either of these top 3 against another would be excellent.
