Comments Thread For: Daniel Jacobs vs. Maciej Sulecki Finalized on April 28, HBO

[N/A]

I don't think it is the main problem. Jacobs was fighting on showtime when he faced GGG.

That was a mandatory fight.

[N/A]

GGG doesn't fight himself on HBO????

Charlo is his mandatory. That is how you force a fight that is otherwise politically impossible.

[Mirus]

But Hugo is who he was mandated to fight for the interim title. Charlo didn't choose Hugo. Hugo was the next leading available contender for the interim title fight that was ordered when GGG asked to delay his mandatory to give Canelo a rematch.

He is a liar, not surprising.

And no, Charlo couldn't easily challenge Jacobs. You. Have. No. ****ing. Idea. How. This. Sport. Works.

WBC would let Charlo to fight Jacobs, even if Hugo Centeno was the mandatory. We have seen many examples of avoiding mandatories, especially in WBC.

Thank you for proving my point. Canelo is obviously not available as he's fighting GGG May 5 and Jacobs obviously turned down the fight so he wouldn't breach his HBO contract, which is why Hugo was the next leading available contender.

If Jacobs wanted to fight Charlo for the interim title on March 3 on Showtime, the WBC would have been all for it, but HBO would have sued to stop the fight.

What did I lie about? Who in front of Hugo in the rankings was available to fight Charlo? Canelo? He's fighting GGG. Jacobs? He's got an exclusive HBO contract. Sanctioning bodies go down the list until somebody says yes. Hugo was the highest ranked fighter that said yes.

[stealthradon]

HBO should've rejected the fight, Sulecki is unknown & not skilled enough

So who should he have fought instead?

So who should he have fought instead?

David Lemieux

Your posts contradict each other.

When Jacobs faced GGG, Jacobs was fighting in Showtime, GGG on HBO. Then you said "it was mandatory".

But when Jacobs is mandatory for Charlo, they are fighting on different TV.

:lol:

Shortly, if two dangerous fighters don't want to fight each other, then there are lots of excuses... TV, business, politics, etc.

If they really wanted to fight, the fight could happen despite many problems.
