Personally, I think a ggg rematch would be at the top of the list for his fans.
    They cannot be made NEXT! What part of GGG has a mandatory. Canelo is coming off a year inactivity and surgery, and BJS is with Warren, don't ya'll understand?

      Obviously they won’t mention Charlo it’s the only division HBO has on lock and Jacobs is their 3rd best MW

      Charlo is on the other side so it won’t hapoen

      He was being positioned to fight GGg or Canelo down the road . I don’t think either will happen especially since Canelos suspension pushes it another 6 months out of reach

      Saunders won’t fight him because he’s waiting for his payday /opportunity to fight Gennady

      And I’m pretty sure Jacobs / Devechenko share the same trainer so that isn’t happening

      The only legit name is Andrade so hopefully it gets made sometime this year

        And then GGG will have to face Derevyanchenko this year in order to keep his belt. At best, Jacobs/Charlo determines GGG's most legitimate contender for all his belts and he'd fight them in early-mid 2019. But, I don't see him fighting Jacobs/Charlo until he gets Derevy and BJS out of the way. Hell, GGG may say "**** the belts" and wait for Canelo.

        I just realized this the other day, sick and tired of stuff like this happening. That's why he didn't get Lara vs. the Charlos. Jacobs and Derevy are also near the top of the IBF and could theoretically fight for the belt---if GGG vacates and Charlo decides to wait for the WBC to enforce his mandatory status. The trainer situation leaves Jacobs with one less option.

          They all 'could' be made. Charlo fighting on another network doesn't seem to be an issue.

          Why are you not mentioning the fact Canelo is suspended? That other stuff is irrelevant cuz he'll probably end up facing ggg his first fight back...so why would it be a problem to step in with Jacobs?

            Yeah If I remember correctly the poster WBC/WBA/IBF listed the IBF rankings and Devechenko was #1 , 2 was empty and #3 was Jacobs but obviously they wouldn’t fight for the vacant if Gennadys stripped

            Jacobs seems to going the WBA Mando route

            But I think He’s to far down the line to get a Gennady fight anytime soon and won’t get it

            Gennady probably has Canelo l, Saunders , Devechenko, Charlo , Murata all ahead of Jacobs that’s most likely at least 2 years before Jacobs would get a shot and by that point Gennady is probably retired or would have lost to 1 of the above names

            The same goes for Canelo , he has other options besides Jacobs so he probably doesn’t get that fight either

              They named 3 fights for Jacobs NEXT. None of the three fights are realistic. Charlo on the other hand is realistic.

              Canelo's suspension is what led to his 1 year inactivity. The surgery makes it almost a guarantee he'll fight a tune up next

              GGG has a mandatory he must fight in August. Danny is looking for a fight around that time or a month later. GGG won't be ready.

              BJS is with Frank Warren.

              At the press conference today Eddie Hearn just said damn near the same thing I said. He said Charlo would be next because the other fighters are busy and Saunders would price himself out because he's been waiting on the Canelo or GGG fight. Hearn said it's up to the network to deliver the big fight for Jacobs, which is Charlo at this moment.

                That's really ****** of HBO. Jermall vs Jacobs is the perfect fight to have while GGG is rematching Canelo. Then the winners of each fight could fight each other. GGG, Canelo, Jacobs and Jermall are the 4 best middleweights in the world in my opinion.

I know Danny mentioned him after the fight. If Danny mentioned him after the fight they should've put him in the poll. Acting like he doesn't exist isnt a way to build a fight.
                  Max did ask for charlo and andrade
                  The poll options without charlo is weird though

                    So go to the poll and choose the someone else option. Unlikely doesn't mean they can't be made.

                      Who the crap cares?
                      Did you care when Jacobs and Charlo were on the same PBC banner?
                      What makes you think it's easier to do now when Haymon didn't even attempt to make the fight happen when they're both available and in the same network?
                      Kills me with these too biased fake fans.
