    Signed sealed delivered.

    Arias took Arif Magomedov, who was a good prospect, apart. He's a Cuban who moved to Milwaukee and a high-level US amateur who fought just about everybody from Shawn Porter to Lacy and Browne in the not-for-pay ranks. He can fight, he's a legit contender.

    Dont think he's a big puncher, and not super-fast, but he really knows his craft. Danny better not underrate him.

    Jacobs should win, but indeed, Arias is a very good prospect and Danny better not underrate him.

    I don't think Arias is ready for a fight like this, but he's still a live dog nonetheless.

    This. But, if he pulls it off against Danny he instantly becomes a top 5 middleweight.

    He fought Quillin one fight before Golovkin.

    That was the highly anticipated Sergio Mora rematch

    That was directly before Golovkin. Quillin was one fight before.

    Yes, I know when Jacobs fought Quillin. Was both before AND after the Mora fights. What point are you trying to make?

    Arias is very solid and how the hell is Jacobs still making 160?
    Hearn can give him tons of UK fights at 168.

    Arias is solid, but Jacobs is a level or two above him, Magomedov was fragile, he got beaten up by and almost stopped by Hernandez, he's one of the weaker links at MW, I'm pretty sure Quillin and maybe even Truax, Fletcher and Mora beat him. Jacobs will have to pick Cuban glass out of his knuckles for weeks after this match.

    You said something about PBC and one hard fight every two years, I wrote that Jacobs fought Quillin one fight and 15 months, before Golovkin.

    I´m thinking the same thing. He was so much bigger than GGG and didn´t even do IBF fight day weight in. Jacobs looks two weight division bigger than Arias. Hope neither gets hurt.

    Jacobs should have fought Charlo, or he could to to UK and fight Eubank...............but Charlo would be the best fight for him now. Arias can't punch, he couldn't knock a fly out. Jacobs does not need to be a cruiserweight to beat this second rate boxer that is a midget...................
