Comments Thread For: Hearn: Jacobs To Fight Canelo in May If He Beats Derevyanchenko

[alexjust]

Danny will have 2 pounds rehydraton clause, 20% split, one-sided rematch clause and the requirement to cut off 2 inches off his arms and legs. And thus the unification will happen! Welcome to the Diva world. And even more importantly: something else won't happen until Sept. 2019 - the third fight with GGG. Who will be 37,5 by then. Which was the plan all along, right ODLH?

Hearn is making sh** happen!!

Because he doesn't sleep and is regularly seen in 2 or 3 places at once making deals, doing interviews, hosting pressers etc. The dude is a workaholic to the core.

One thing for sure...if Jacobs/Canelo happens, Jacobs scores better to Canelo's body than GGG did. Danny probably KO's Canelo while breaking ribs!

I gotta mad respect for Jacobs skills and power but I don't see him knocking out Canelo at all.

If Luis Arias could survive till the 12th then I've got no doubt Alvarez can make it.

[NEETzsche]

That would be a good fight. I still rate Jacobs as the third best fighter in the division and he deserves another shot at #1 considering how close the GGG fight was

[MagikLair]

Well this is just basic promotion sh^t really. Jacobs is fighting in a week & a half. What better way to get some eyes & limelight on Jacobs then to suggest he's next for Canelo.

Bob's always talking about Loma being the new Ali or Bud being the new SRL or w/e legendary fighter comparison he can make. He's done great with that lil trick at getting his fighters names out there cuz people love old legendary fighter names being brought up more than damn near anything.

yes, I do agree to some extent. But Hearn always seems to do this. Like for Joshua. But it is what it is.. thanks for the reply Mr. panda

PBC is going to have to make up a middleweight belt for Charlo.
Since the bros turn down the DAZN offer, they will NEVER get a shot for any of those belts.

Even with the corruption with ABC Groups I don't think Hearn can prevent Charlo from getting his shot sooner or later. Signing with DAZN or not isn't gonna change that.

And I doubt Hearn would do some Oscar/Canelo or Rid**** Bowe throw a belt in the garbage type sh^t. For all the sh^t Hearn gets I do think he gots more of a sense of whats right & just for the sport & his own boxers more than most other promoters do. And ultimately that Charlo fight helps his own fighters legacy or will prove or disprove how good they are.

Or at least outside of Joshua Hearn hasn't really shown himself to be that type of promoter cuz I do think Joshua's such a cashcow Hearn's been pretty un-Hearn-like with Joshua since the Klitschko W. Meanwhile most other promoters protect their D level prospect for his first 10-20 fights.

That's a good match up. I like it.

[Nomadic]

I'd prefer Charlo, but this ain't bad.

Yeah, same here but it this will work.

[champion4ever]

How can this be? Charlo is next in line for Canelo, after he has had his easy fight against Fielding. That is, if Golovkin does not want to fight Charlo. If Golovkin-Charlo happens then okay, Canelo can take on the winner.

No, remember that unification always takes precedence over mandatory defenses. With Canelo having the WBC title and Jacobs having the IBF title, then the two could always unify for both titles.

[champion4ever]

I wonder would they consider putting Jacobs vs Derevyanchenko on DAZN as well?
