NEW YORK – Daniel Jacobs believes he proved against Gennady Golovkin that he is the best middleweight in the world. That’s how much confidence the Brooklyn native’s performance in a close loss to Golovkin gave him. Jacobs got up from a fourth-round knockdown during that March 18 fight at Madison Square Garden and boxed well to make it close on all three scorecards (115-112, 115-112, 114-113).
Former super middleweight champion Carl Froch believes Daniel Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs) has the skill and the ability to become a superstar in the United States. Back in March, Jacobs challenged IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin at New York's Madison Square Garden. It was close-pitched battle that saw Jacobs survive an early knockdown and come back to take Golovkin the twelve round distance.
