    It is nearly sure that we will see Golovkin-Jacobs by the end of this year.
    What do you think about Jacobs, is he a worthy opponent or not ?
    Please, declare, here and now, "the wisdom after match" is quite disgusting.
    Personally, I have not seen much of him - maybe three fights and some highlights.
    In any case, dude is a natural MW, and has a respectful power.
    Is this enough to upset GGG ? Without trolling, please !!!

    As far as middleweight go I cannot think of many more deserving candidates. It's him or Saunders really and their best wins are about equal. (Feel triple G still wins)

    He is a worthy contender and a top 5 middleweight.

    I wont be competitive ggg will murder him

    I also don't believe this fight will happen, Jacobs will vacate or leave it go to purse bids and say the money isn't there

    Jacobs was quoting figures like 5 million before, complete nonsense and and would go very quiet when ggg was looking for oppenents and saying he needed another 18 months to two years

    I don't think this fight will happen

    He's probably the best one left.
    But I would be very surprised if he pulls one over on GGG. I guess the bookies will have around 6 to 1 odds for him.

    Jacobs fights at he's best on the front foot and when he is able to maintain a certain amount of control over a fight.

    He wont be able to do that against ggg

    In fact can you name any chinny fighter in history who ever beat a world class monster puncher fighting the whole fight on the back foot?

    And he will fight on the back foot because he knows in he's heart he cant trade with ggg

    If the fight gets made triple G better bring the defense he had for the Lemieux fight because taking clean shots from Jacobs would be a bad idea.

    No issue with this fight. He can punch and he has a few quality wins. Quillan, Mora 2x,

    He is No. 2 MW on the BOXREC LIST. I would like to see opinions of posters who don't like GGG.
    What if Golovkin wins ? Is he still Bumlovkin ? Is Jacobs ready for Golovkin ? Is he better than Brook, or Stevens, or Rubio ? Can you imagine Golovkin's loss ?

    I've only seen two of is fights. Its not enough to properly rate him. So far from what I seen he has a punchers chance against anyone, and looks like he has potential to be a top player.

    I think he is.. obviously he's got the power and skills, I just don't know about his chin.

    He's a good opponent but GGG will beat him with ease because he's simply that much better,

    He'd be Golovkin's best opponent yet, IMO. He's worthy.
