    He weighed 170 for Pirog whereas he was 180 (possibly even more) when he fought GGG. He said he was 175 but if you believe that you're dumber than a box of rocks.

    And people don't realize how hard he prepared for that fight or the measures he took to give himself the best possible chance of winning either.

    He enlisted the help of Victor Conte and utilized lots of hi-tech equipment and modern training methods when training over in his SNAC gym.

    He also went and did some training with Virgil Hunter and Ward. Probably used that neck strengthening machine thing Virgil has his fighters using and he did numerous sessions of one on one tactical advice from Ward on how to defeat GGG.

    No stone was left unturned during preparation for that fight.

    There are some really good fights for Jacobs up at SMW, don't see what reason he has to continue at 160. Think Lemieux may move up soon as well.

    Jacobs could mix it with any of the titlists at 168, would like to see him against Eubank Jr

    and it paid dividends, in competing very competitively, (albeit in losing UD) he gained more respect than any win he's ever had.

    he was a top flight fighter on the night and I believe far tougher than ggg ever could had expected. with all his physical advantages added to training like his child's life depended on it saw him see the end of round 12.

    that further illustrated ggg level if greatness to me. look back at every other atg me, no matter who, they've all lost to inferior fighters to Jacob's and far inferior to the Jacob's of the ggg time

    Problem with Lemieux is that he's short. He probably won't fair well at 168.

    Jacobs used the Larnce Armstrong approach. Beats cancer, comes back and cheats his absolute ass off. But unlike Lance, roidy cruiser still couldnt get the jaab done

    Yet unlike with Lance, there was no outcry, despite the fact one roided to win a bike race, the other roided to allow him to punch another, much smaller man, much harder, for longer

    Danny Jacobs you are one repulsive piece of ****
