Do you think Jacobs is A-level after Canelo's performance?

Too bad for you that grizzly bear made your butt a reality and not just a fantasy. Sorry your time in Alaska was so traumatic.

 

At the upper tier of "A level", no. But he is still A level to most, the poll will tell you.
You just miss the whole point.

 

For ****'s sake... you're boring...and desperate to have someone respond back and forth obviously. Go outside, make a friend...

 

Knock out artist? More like the British Stoppage artist. Most top level fighters build a record with %90+ KO ratio early in their careers against mostly club fighters.

Besides, that style with high workrate, throwing punches in bunches that he adjusted later in his career was more suitable for Joe's abilities in my opinion.

 

Toney vs Joe at SMW would have been a great clash of styles.

Joe could have beaten him.

Joe was a great fighter.

I have no issue with you saying that Joe was elite.

The issue is with you saying he's elite, whilst saying that it's laughable to say that Mike was also elite.

You cannot dismiss someone and laugh at people like me for including them, just on the grounds that you don't know who they were.

The difference between us, is that if someone asked me who I think would have won between say Roy and Ezzard Charles, I would be honest and say: "I can't answer, because I know nothing about Charles" whereas you'd use BoxRec to try and discredit him.

Again, technically, Mike was superior to Joe.

He also fought better fighters, and he had more impressive wins.

Joe has his unbeaten run, a run that Mike didn't have. But again, that's because he remained in 1 division for 90% of his career, where he fought lots of lower level opposition. He took a much easier path than what Mike did. Mike fought a peak, 27 year old version of Roy, when he was 40, fighting 3 divisions above his peak weight class.

 

Placing fighters of varying accomplishments, all a "A Level", should be more than enough to open a set of eyes to the vagueness of simple letter grading.

If Jacobs is 'A Level', is Terrence Crawford 'A++ Level'?

 

didn't change anything for me. He fought a good fight. GGG knew what Canelo was about and had a tough fight so in my mind Canelo is the better fighter. He expected an easier fight with Jacobs.

 

No I didn't I picked quillen to beat Jacobs that's how little I thought of him.

 

It doesn't make me look desperate. Do you know why? Because I know for a fact that you haven't seen these guys. And I don't care what you're now claiming. Because if you'd really watched them, you wouldn't have made the comments that you have over the past few days.

You labelled Reggie a journeyman because you haven't seen him, but you know that he lost twice to a guy like Castro. Nobody, and I mean nobody, would ever class Reggie Johnson as a journeyman fighter.

You said Jacobs and Nunn were alike.

You think Jacobs, Mike and Kalabay were on a similar level.

You've laughed at the idea that Mike was technically superior to Joe.


So no, I'm not the one who looks desperate.

It's you who looks desperate for dismissing and disrespecting fighters who you're not familiar with.

 

He's not anywhere near A level.

Upper, lower, whatever.

It's pretty simple.

Guys like Andre and Floyd are elite/A level guys, whereas guys like Froch and Kessler are a level below.

Jacobs is a world class MW, but he's not an elite fighter.

 

Hilarious.

You're the casual who's labelled Reggie as a journeyman fighter after a brief look on BoxRec.
