    He knocked you down, Jacobs. That's what happened.

        I agree. Rozier concedes Jacobs might have been 178. It's therefore no stretch to assume he was 185. In fact, it is probable.

It was close and competitive, but he lost. I admit I kind of understand DJ on this one even if I don´t like or respect what he did.
            Jacobs got every conceivable benefit and still got knocked down and lost the fight.

                Jacobs looked a lot smaller in the Sulecki fight. And he barely beat Sulecki. GGG would have KO'd the smaller Sulecki.

                    He wasn't fighting for the IBF belt in that fight. So i have zero issue with that. Let's see if he skips the second weigh-in for the dervy fight. Then we can talk...

                        That's what he gets for skipping the weigh in and not being weighed on fight night.

                            Seems weird the IBF would want Jacobs after he clearly rejected you last time.
                            Exactly... They should have removed him from their ranking. But, money speaks... The IBF wants a slice of his pay check.

                                Jacobs used every weight bully trick he could, stalled the fight as long as he could, and STILL GOT FLOORED, and couldn't do anything vs ggg.

                                    Most likely he weighed in around 185-188.

                                        Excellent point. Jacobs was Andre Ward size and Ward comes in around 190 for his LHW fights.
