    He has to fight him. Trying to run wont work as GGG is supreme at cutting down the ring. Yes he has a great chin but there is no head movement so he is hittable.

    I thought Brook's movement vs GGG was spot on. Little halfsteps and was making GGG miss ever so close.

    The thread question should be "What game plan will Jacobs use before he gets destroyed by GGG"...

    Jacobs isn't macklin, he has more power, speed and technique.

    No one is unstoppable, if GGG keeps on fighting live opponents he will lose eventually.

    Macklin has no great win on his resume same with Murray, they are both fortunate the middleweight division has been a weak division for the last 8 years.

    I think Jacobs needs to apply pressure. Force GGG on the backfoot. And he needs to THROW !

    That's really tough and probably unrealistic, however if he can prevent GGG from rushing forward either smothering him on the inside or with big shots then he improves his chances.

    It will be tough but it's his best chance. If Danny on the backfoot he won't be able to use his power. GGG needs to be backed up, stop his forward moving pressure style

    Not until he's paved the road with many battered and broken victims.....and Jacobs will be part of that road.
