    Where would you rank Danny Jacobs among the MW's after the tight decision loss to GGG?

    Number 2. Can't think of another middleweight that beats him.

    #2 MW who might be the only MW who can give GGG a real fight at the moment.

    This was a star-making performance for Jacobs.

    He's going to get a lot of love after this, and he deserves it.

    He's still the #1 contender. He'd beat the **** out of guys like Lemieux and Saunders

    Definitely cemented his #2 spot at the very least! Surely erased or minimized some of the doubts many had about his chances against someone like Lemieux, myself included!

    Let's hope he builds off of it and fights again at least 1 more time this year. No more inactivity

    Lemieux vs Jacobs would be a ripper fight; although, I fear it won't happen as Jacobs isn't WBO rated, and Lemieux is probably chasing BJS.

    He's number 2 at 160lbs. I think Jacobs would beat Canelo. If you wanted to include 168lbs hard to say as Eubank Jr and Saunders are equally as good as Jacobs.

    Jacobs fought a hell of a fight. His ring positioning and head movement were impeccable. He always made sure he was never in GGG's sweet spot range.

    GGG deserved the nod.

    Number 2 just like he was in my opinion before the fight. Question is where do the IBF rank him? As far as im concerned Jacobs stock rose alot last night. But he did take a turd on the IBF by purposly coming in overweight as far as they were concerned.

    No 2 which is where he's at,only seen half the fight so far but through six rounds I gave Danny rounds 2,6 but round 2 is a how you pick em,at the end of round 6 Jacobs asks his corner if he took that round and through using the jab and being smarter he did,all hurtful punches at this point have come from Golovkin inc the knock down.
    Gonna go and watch second half now

    Will depend on the PPV figures and public demand. There was no rematch clause. If Mayweather
    has a rematch with Maidana i can see no reason why. A lot will depend on outcome of Canelo
    vs Chavez .

    nr.2. Jacobs ' handspeed is truly amazing and I cant really see him lose to Lemieux nor to Saunders.
