Algieri's nutrition plan seems to have affected Jacobs' power.

[Raggamuffin]

Nothing is wrong. He isn't cheating the scale anymore. He actually looks like a guy who weighs 160 instead of 170. He's fighting top guys also. He doesn't look tired at the end of fights. Algeri is doing a good job.

I know his KO ratio was very high before his last 2 fights, but was he really an explosive guy? Wasn’t Algieri his nutritionist for the GGG fight too? Because am sure he wasn’t just his nutritionist for those last two fights.

Algieri had just started doing full time nutrition consulting just prior to G, yes. But Jacobs didn't let his hands go enough to assess whether there was power there or not.

Generally it's what happens when you fight decent opposition.

Wilders first fight with a semi decent opponent in the first Stiverne fight, he went 12. When GGG stepped up to fighting quality opponents like Jacobs, Canelo and even Brook to some degree (very good fighter but small), he wasn't able to drop them apart from Jacobs, although Brook's eye went, he never looked like hitting the floor really. Same with Kovalev, he couldn't stop everyone. Joshua fights his first top 5 HW that was still young and hungry in Parker and couldn't stop him, not gonna count Wlad in his 40s.

Point is, you just can't go and blow every fighter away, no matter how much power you have, History tells us that. You just meet fighters that know how to get through fights.

Ernie Shavers is regarded as possibly the hardest hitting HW ever, yet some guys you wouldn't even consider that good took him the distance.

Ok, but there's a difference when you're throwing the kitchen sink at a guy (Jacobs/Arias, Jacobs/Sulecki) and when you're tentative and thus not in a position to spark a dude (Joshua/Parker).

Jacobs was throwing at Sulecki, landing on him, to no effect. Meanwhile Sulecki was throwing back more effectively than we usually see while walking through punches.

It actually reminded me a lot of Mayweather/Burton, with lower accuracy.
