    Of course he's world class.

    But the reason you've interpreted it in the way you have, is due to the TS deliberately being a fool.

    If Andre Ward and Floyd Mayweather are A level/elite fighters, then Jacobs is obviously a notch below.

    Kessler and Froch weren't A level/elite level fighters.

    Ali was on another level to Marciano.

    No, Mike never dominated like Wlad did, but he fought better opposition, and he didn't lose as badly to lower level fighters.

    There's lots of people who don't agree and who HAVEN'T voted, and you've also got members asking question such as: "Did you mean world class?"


    I can't construct a paragraph properly?

    Haha!

    You're that thick, you couldn't even give the members a definition, or a yes or no option.


    What a clown.

    You can have levels within a level. If you say Floyd, Klitschko, Hagler etc they are just upper tier of A level. Doesn't mean they are "the same". It just depends on your lower cut-off.

    Froch and Kessler were a level above Jacobs

    You've never even seen Mike McCallum.

    Don't even try and pretend that you have.

    Mike was an absolute technition.

    Mike had more pure skill than what Roy did.

    Again:

    You've never even seen Mike McCallum.

    You've never watched him.


    Ooh, he outboxed Eubank.

    Case closed then, huh?

    Who the hell did MM outbox, the fights with Toney? You do know most people would pick Joe to kick Toney's arse at 168lbs don't you?

    Of course, but Jacobs isn't in their company.

    You though Jacobs was A level before Pirog beat him and he was Ring magazine's prospect of the year. You also thought Quillen had a lot of upside and would give GGG a hard fight until Jacobs disposed of him in a round.

    Saying I don't watch boxers, doesn't help you win an argument. Its making you look desperate. I'm well aware of Mike, Nunn, Early Collins. I think you misread me early, I meant to say I never watched them LIVE, back in the 90's. I've watched them since, you tit.

    Alphabetical grading is purely and absolutely subjective.

    Looking at something far more tangible, I think Jacobs would probably beat Canelo and there is not a chance in hell Golden Boy would let Canelo anywhere near him.

    I see why some boxers like to keep their 00's in tact now. Rabid fanbois on internet forums will start calling them **** after they lose to an elite fighter.

    Most people would be wrong. You do realize the 40+ LHW version of B-Hop was like a poor men's version of prime Toney, don't you?
