Is Daniel Jacobs kinda "shot"?

[Science]

The last few years all of Jacobs fights have looked like glorified sparring matches. It seems he doesn't have a 2nd gear like he did when he fought Caleb Traux, Quillian and Sergio Mora.

I'm not totally sure if its that, or he's WEIGHT DRAINED (a possibility), as he has talked about how hard it is to make 160 pounds.

Sometimes when making weight is hard, your camp because a weight loss camp and not a fight camp and your drained and weak.

I recall Erik Morales saying that all he ate was lettuce and tomatoes when he was trying to make 126 or 130.

Is Danny Jacobs shot or does he need to move to 168?

To me, it seems like a lack of motivation from previous big paydays and as some have stated, becoming "hollywood" with some high maintenance hoe who will always suck the will to live or at least achieve greatness out of you...

cant really tell from this last fight. He wasnt even trying. its not like he was trying and couldnt pull the trigger. he didnt even give us enough punch attempts to show us anything. it was like a sparring match.


Also OP this fight was at 168 and so was his fight with useless chavez jr. so he isnt weight drained now

He got some money and lost the fire it looks like. I dont think he is shot I just dont think he wants it bad enough anymore. He should have rolled through Gabe lets be honest.

I believe his fight against Rosado was at 168. I think it's a combination of age and effort. Jacobs wasn't fighting inspiring competition. He even said in the post fight interview he didn't give 100% effort in camp or the fight. As a professional, that's unacceptable and I thought he was better than that. Also, he is 33 or 34. He seemed extremely stiff and slow on his feet.

Some fighters are done by 33. Also, Jacobs survived a life and death battle with Cancer, which may have had an effect of his odometer.

He is not hungry anymore. I kinda thought that he would turn into more of a fearless fighter after beating cancer. But after making millions, he wants to play it safe now.

It looks like he’s just been going through the motions in his past couple of fights.

Jacobs is a boring fighter now.. everytime i watch this guy fight I miss Pirog even more.

well enough put add in the fact jacobs seems to mentally always fight up to opposition level yet when opposition is actually top level well jacobs just is slightly short of canelo and ggg . put him vs not top 3 he wins.

He's not shot. He's just not hungry any more. He kinda' peaked out, got rich and now what?
