    I agree. I think hes being overrated to a decent degree based on the Kid Chocolate and GGG fights. That being said... results matter more than anything, nobody gave him those performances he went out and performed and thats what really matters, thats the substance underneath all the speculation and thats what cant be taken away from him. But do I think hes at the level he seems to be held at for the moment? I do not. But I would love to see him involved in more fights in the near future to see more clearly his true level (him vs Lemieux, Saunders, Charlo, 3G rematch, Canelo, ect)

    I didnt know that.
    Normally JDJ should have an advantage over Team Jacobs if thats true

    This fight is getting more and more interesting

    Yeah it was for the GGG fight. Jacobs randomly decided to leave Jackson's gym in FL and train at Kings in CA with Virgil Hunter.

    And what a smart decision that was. Jacobs was strong both physically and mentally. Just like Andre Ward

    the only reason not to rate him highly is the pirog ko. how long ago was that? has no one ever come back from a ko to be great?

    And then Arias, who 5 weeks before the fight does not have a manager, trainer or promoter, somehow ends up with JDJ as his trainer. Interesting!

    Ahh, its only JDJ. He'll probably say same thing about Arias after he loses.

    And Jacobs can still be a box office attraction.
    If Arias wins, and if Hearn can sign him, well Hearn would have two players at 160.
    But im guessing Hearn knew whom they are showcasing Jacobs against.

    You can lol all you want bro but Loma is a tremendous boxer. Do you see anyone calling out this champ ? And I'm talking about other champs around his weight

    Did you see Frampton had to say about Loma ?

    And Carl is also a great boxer


    P.S. WAR Loma !! and Viva la Rigolucion !!!!
