    Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing & Daniel Jacobs Scheduled Return For Nov. 2020!






    I know people are gonna go for the obvious low hanging fruit. "Why aren't they fighting each other?" The real boxing fans know the answer to that by now. My question is why is Jacobs headlining? I know he's the bigger name & has had bigger fights but he isn't an astronomically bigger name than Andrade. Definitely not right now I'm not sure I've heard him mentioned much during this whole pandemic. Unless he's fighting a champion or someone extremely notable, he doesn't deserve to headline imo. He has 3 losses & he isn't a champion. Andrade has never lost & is undefeated.

    Most People Don’t Know Shet About Wages and Meritocracy. Jacobs has been in bigger fights. Take your time to think what “bigger” is referred to... metrics, sales...

    You do realize Eddie is HELPING Andrade by putting him on a Jacobs card. Lol

      Hmmm...I seem to recall it being Andrade's fault for the fights not happening at 154 and even against Derev at 160. Rafael rewriting history with that bull****. Not saying he shouldn't get his chance but as the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Could've been in a lot better position by now (assuming he won) if he hadn't pulled out of those fights. Won't give him **** for Saunders though. That one obviously wasn't on him.

        Jacobs has been in the bigger fights


        Makes sense to me.

            Lol how ironic it is when you talk about meritocracy when Andrade is a better fighter than Jacob's, more skilled, talented, an a more accomplished fighter than Jacobs.

            If you think he's helping one he's definitely helping the other, cause again like I said if Jacobs isn't facing a big name he doesn't deserve to headline. What would the numbers you like to talk about be if Jacobs isn't fighting a big name without Andrade on the card? I bet money it would be about the same as what Andrade would do vice versa!

            It was Roc Nation & that was only 1 fight at 154. I was gonna make a thread about that Derevyanchenko shìt but I didn't think it was worth it. Instead I'll address you with it I'm glad you brought it up. Let's talk about how Keith Connolly Derevyanchenko's manager was the one doing all that talking in all them articles you read. Which resulted in both sides blaming each other, ppl refuting certain things that was reported & no concrete evidence of anything signed or fully agreed & set. Andrade as the champion now has said MULTIPLE times I'll fight Derevyanchenko including on a livestream with Eddie Hearn. Now here's where it gets good. There has been a significant amount of time when neither had fights lined up. Why hasn't Keith Connolly said anything in regards to this after all that talking he was doing previously? I know the answer but I want you to tell me. & lastly I'll leave you with this:

              I'm guessing both will be in against soft touches

                Jacobs is not avoided. He has become another cherry picker picking on washed up Chavez Jr who keeps losing and quitting and was lined up to fight lousy middleweight Rosado. Lots of good 168 pound fighters will fight Jacobs if he is willing to fight them. GGG and Canelo seem to have taken a lot of fight out of Jacobs and he looked terrible beating Chavez. He was very good once but he seems past it now even though he is not that old.

                  I voted for Andrade. He looks better than Jacobs to me in their respective last fights.

                    Jacobs and Andrade on the Same Card would be Nice!

                    Hopefully they both get some at least DECENT Opponents
