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

[skinnystev]

if jacobs really wants BJS why did he sign to fight an unranked at middleweight blownup unknown superwelterweight jacobs himself is known to be a supermiddleweight in disguise

Sorry Danny, but you already knew the deal when you went to HBO(Hearn). That means you have very little chance of facing Charlo (SHO) or Murata (ESPN). I understand the move, because Lemieux was the target, and the ultimate goal was Canelo/GGG. Now you're stuck, hoping that Canelo/GGG will fight you in a voluntary defense! Good luck with that!

And that's what is soo WRONG with boxing.

Fighters not facing opponents who are under rival promoters is a cancer on the sport.

It's too bad. So many interesting fights to make at MW (and WW, and JMW, and...).

Wasn't it posted on here that BJS was asking for 6M to face Jacobs? Never saw it confirmed by either guy doe.

[sterilizer]

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 think he will be even more remembered by being brutally K0'd by Pirog in the 5th, when Pirog was a 3-1 underdog for that fight.

And he will also be remembered for looking twice as big as GGG, and still being the one backing down most of the fight, and being the only one who was knocked down in that fight, even though he was so big.

Ahh.. I often forget about pirog. You said it much better then me. Yet he and some of his fans think he's the man at middleweight...

[hitking]

This is naturally the fight the should be happening. It would create a no-doubt #1 contender to the Canelo-GGG winner. And create an anticipated clash in the fall. But that’s not the way boxing works. Boxing’s cashcow is competing in the middleweight division. Which means the top guys in there that division will likely avoid each other and not wanna potentially risk a career high payday. It is what it is.

[landotter]

BJS has the strap that GGG wants and a set of skills (not a whole lot of KO power) that Alvarez will be happy to take on after 2 straight fights with Golovkin. So, no matter who gets the win after the rematch on May 5, Saunders has himself a career best payday on deck. He has a no-worry stay busy fight to keep his name out there against Martin Murray and has actually matured some in his interviews. Sounds very knowledgeable and seems ready for prime time. He will help sell tickets and do good PR. No reason to risk that against Jacobs. Danny Jacobs needs to find the best out there he can, be VERY busy, and force someone to give him another shot down the road. Right now he is all risk, no upside.

[Sosay]

Fake fans hiding behind excuses again. If BJS and Danny both wanted to fight, they'd fight but here comes the crying about being a draw. I want the best fights available period.

[JakeTheBoxer]

No way, Saunders wants to face GGG or canelo first, than Jacobs.
