He could try making a fight with Murata. It could be lucrative but risky.

How did Jacobs get to the point where he's chasing Charlo?

Now he's chasing Charlo for a big fight. It should've been the other way around. How did Charlo surpass Jacobs as the hot name in the middleweight division?
Sometimes it takes just one punch for a fighter to become a star.
From the looks of it, jacobs couldnt follow up after that good fight with GG. It feels like he’s regressed as a fighter.

Jacobs lost momentum because since he went to HBO he’s fought 2 names fans either don’t know or don’t care about and hasn’t looked good in either
In that time span Charlos fought 2 names people either don’t know or don’t care about but has looked spectacular so he’s leapfrogged Jacobs in the minds of many

The move to HBO has been beneficial for him. He’s made some good money. But he hasn’t been able to secure another shot at GGG or any other big fight and, from the looks of it, he won’t anytime soon.
Charlo is going to sit in his mandatory position until he gets a world title shot. Being the WBC world middleweight champion is pretty effin nice and he’s in a position to do that. So the tables have turned. 2019 is going to be very interesting.

Jacobs is just looking for the best fight he can get. What's wrong with that? He is a good fighter and not too many top guys want to fight him. Saunders wanted no part of him. Saunders only fights guys GGG already KOed. GGG and Canelo are likely fighting each other next. That leaves Jermall as a very obvious choice. Jermall should welcome a fight with Jacobs. Jermall is an undefeated lion so why not fight Jacobs? Has he got a better fight lined up? The winner of a Jacobs vs Jermall fight would be a logical next opponent for the winner of GGG vs Canelo.
