I haven’t checked. I thought Jacobs won his fight against GGG by a point. Thought Canelo won the first fight against GGG and lost the second. Either way, each fight was close enough to justify the official result. So Jacobs isn’t the uncrowned anything. And he’s definitely not in any position to be turning his nose up at a potential GGG rematch.Comment

To the T even if it’s a detriment to their organization and the sport
The whole Stripping thing was
******ed. If Canelo didn’t pop the IBF didn’t have a issue with it but Canelo did and delayed the fight 4-5 months and Then they implement the Mando
Gennadys team chose to Vanes because it was a stay busy fight and almost guaranteed a big $ rematch would still happen in a sept. If Gennady fight Devrechenko he a legit contender and a upset wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility ruining a big payday. No one in Gennady or his teams shoes Would have taken that path
You do know Canelo was going to court that same week with no only the money thing but who was STILL his promotor. PLUS ain't no way Canelo was giving up 55/45 WBC split.
Hey ill admit Canelo ducked GGG if you admit your POS GOD ducked Sergiy and Ward???
Actually Sergiy was WAY worse of a fkn duck. He was willing to fight for Vanes $
The Devrechenko thing wasn’t a d.uck it was the right move that anybody in that position would have done
I’ve never claimed Canelo ducked Gennady either , Canelos proven he’ll fight anybody he fought Trout and Lara when his team didn’t want it
But his team gave up the strap to age Golovkin a couple Years and it was a good strategy on their part , Canelo a big enough name he doesn’t need a strap to define him
As far as Ward(who I’m fan of ) I’ve always said Ward probably most likely wins , Andres the man and doesn’t know how to lose.
But I’ve also said at the time HBO had 4 big names. Canelo , GGg,Ward , Kovalev that if they faced could be PPV
Ward wanted Gennady because he’s a higher profile fight bigger $ compared to Gennady and his chances of winning were greater
Gennady was chasing the Canelo fight because it was a way bigger payday and way better chance of winning. If your options are moving up and facing Ward a guy who doesn’t lose for OK money that does OK PPV #s or staying at MW trying to get a fight with Canelo for life changing $ and a easier fight what would you choose
It’s not a duck I’m sure if Ward was Gennadys only
Option for a decent payday he’d have taken the fight , the guys a warrior . F.uck Canelo , Gennady and Ward are all straight Gs, Kov though is suspectComment

Jacobs is a very good fighter, but saying you only want to fight title holders means you're just fighting unification bouts, which are rare. Also, Golovkin never lost the IBF title in the ring, so is Jacobs the real champ? And if you're a true champion, you will fight the likes of Charlo and Saunders.Comment

I thought Danny Jacobs put on one of his best performances in years against Sergei Derevyanchenko. I seriously believed that he could have stopped him or knocked him out if he wanted to but the game plan was for him to box. So I can respect that.
Also, at this point he has earned the right to choose or refuse any fight that is offered to him at this time. I think it would be in his best interest to go to DAZN since they are stacked at 160.
However it is his and Al Haymon's choice to make. He is already the IBF champion and if Canelo decides to remain at 168 then the WBA and WBC belts would become vacant. In other words, he has a chance at unifying all the belts at Middleweight.Comment
