[ceylon mooney]

Lol.

Jacobs won his last fight. Can Bumlovkin say the same?

yea. he beat alvarez 8-4. lost to 2 of the judges, but he clearly beat alvarez.

but abels comment is ******. golovkin didnt bash up jacobs. cmon. that was a close and not too rough fight. anyway, sulecki is pretty damn good. abel has been sayin dumb **** lately.

ggg looked horrible after the Jacobs fight.

well when he was being "shady" and golovkin fans thought they wouldnt fight they were letting jacobs have it and insulting him...bascially discrediting golovkins win before they even signed....

I mean a lot of guys have ducked GGG over the years so I think a lot of people honestly thought Danny was using the money thing as an excuse to avoid the fight. He said he needed two million at least, and he could make the 1 million or so offer elsewhere.

I honestly think he got goaded into the fight a little bit (from fans putting pressure on him), but all in all it was a good negotiating tactic by him, he did get more money from it. I just never thought his chin would hold up to that first big GGG shot, but he fought a hell of a fight that night.

Yes, good appraisal, it was more a case of golovkin's noticeable slippage making Jacobs look a little better than he is.

bullshht

Jacobs had the right skills/gameplan

it was his movement/control of distance/and tight gameplan, that caused problems for Golovkin..... and honestly, a number of other fighters could/would have done the same thing..... but Golovkin simply does not fight those guys

it is all about style..... if you stand in front of your opponent, then Golovkin will fight you..... because they back his power to break you down, IF he can land

why do you think they have shown no interest in Saunders ?

why do you think they blurted out a dozen silly excuses to avoid Lara/Mora?..... because those guys are notorious for movement and controlling distance

FACT: Golovkin could have fought Saunders in June..... deferring his mandatory, because a unification > a mando..... thereby killing two birds with one stone, and making him the undisputed king of 160..... right?

which would then leave him free to chase that Canelo money

that fight is the answer to all of Golovkin's problems/"dreams"

they had 8 weeks to prepare for Saunders

what is apparent from Jacobs last 2 fights..... is that he is the exact same fighter that everyone said he was before he fought Golovkin..... very good, not great

Dude I know you try to give GGG credit and it's nice. But saying those guys are C level fighters is just crazy. They were all in their primes and a few were champions. Ones that weren't champions fought champions and went 12 rounds. GGG dusted all of them. Give credit where it's due.

I don't think you have been following this game very long

Lemieux is better than most of those guys, but the ONLY reason why you could classify Lemieux as a genuine B-fighter, is because of his power

Saunders embarrassed that fool, relegating him to gatekeeper status

Im just being honest. I rate guys on who they are relative to historical comps, not relative to active comps.

Danny was being shady on the money, but hey it worked for him.

And idk...I think everyone knew Danny was a really good boxer. He was just chinny - no one gave him a shot because of that. It's funny because going into all of GGG's other fights, people were always giving those guys more of a chance than Jacobs. Stevens Lemieux Monroe. I remember all of those guys being hyped up into having a shot against GGG.

you need to stop listening to rubbish lol

Algieri was brought in for cooking, which has nothing to do with stamina

He brought him in as a nutritionist to help with his cuts and weight management. Are you arguing that there's no connection between that and gassing?

Yeah but he has a lot of power. And he was a champion. Gotta give credit for that. BJS obviously won that fight but playing the matador to the bull is a dangerous game (especially at the higher weights) and he basically won each round by a few points. Great win but Lemieux is a good fighter, just got beat by a better fighter that night.

Before a guy loses, he is the greatest thing ever. Then when a guy loses or has a close fight, he sucks. It's crazy.

I hear ya - but I look back at footage of some older fighters and I don't see how they measure up to the physiques of today's guys. I think it's fun to compare how dominant guys were in different eras, but in general I look at guys like Alan Minter and think he wouldn't last very long in today's boxing.
