Jacobs would have schooled Groves? I think so

    Even If you take size out of the equation, Groves Is still better than Jacobs at everything.

    Groves best punch Is the right hand. He would kill Jacobs.....
    I disagree with the glass chin statement. Even iron chinned boxers clocked with a shot they don't see coming can get put down. The rest I can agree with, listen if Golovkin couldn't put Jacobs down for a full count his chin is strong enough. Groves is the bigger and harder puncher but Danny has speed on his side. It's why I say I would watch.

        In a boxing match Jacobs wins. If it turns into a brawl Groves wins it. Groves looked good with a nice jab in the beginning of his fight with Eubank but Eubank did nothing. I don't see Groves as a master boxer.

          STOP--Neutralizing a guy like eubank is not easy to do. Groves is younger than jacobs and can box behind a jab.

          Eubank was koing almost everyone he fought except saunders.....

            Yes but he didn’t fight anybody notable, and this bout was his shine to prove to it

              Even tho i like groves he's nothing special, the fight against junior showed us nothing but how shi**y eubank is, the fight was a mess..jacobs beats groves.

                  So easy when you explain it like that...

                  You should be a trainer.

                    I think he doesn't handle being stunned well, glass chin is Amir Khan versus Prescott down and all the way out.

                      He should have told Rob Brant and Eubank Jr that
