How did Jacobs get to the point where he's chasing Charlo?

    Also, Jacobs isn't a big draw and get big paydays fighting B level guys like Canelo and GGG can.

    So at least Jacobs is going after the next best challenge. Seems like everyone else is just be sitting around and waiting for a Canelo or GGG payday to be handed to them.
    It's funny how so many posters on this site aren't interested in this fight at all. Some morons even resort to saying that suggesting this fight is an "attempt to protect lil ass G". I'm not joking.

        Because the top guys (except for Borat) dont want to fight Jacobs

        His popularity increased tho he went from about 400-500k viewers to now over 800k on average

          It looked like that to me too, i saw their confrontation and it doesn't look like Jacobs is backing down from Charlo. And if Charlo is ranked high then why wouldn't he be of interest to Jacobs? If he beats Charlo he takes him out of the equation for GGG and Canelo. Thats what rivals do eliminate the competition.

            But who is there to fight is my only question. GGG and Canelo are booked, Derevyanchenko has the same trainer. The bigger fights just aren't there for Jacobs. That's why I've been saying they should just try for Andrade... but he doesn't like to fight or something.

              I'm notb saying he shouldn't want to fight him. People aren't understanding the topic.

              He went from that guy just under GGG & Canelo to having to call out a guy who has never headlined his own card and surpassed him as the hot name in only two fights

                Oh, because Charlo has had some very good knockouts. Everybody loves those so he has good buzz behind him now. Popularity wise, they're probably pretty close.
