Danny Jacobs has the best resume of any fighter still in their prime

Which affects his resume in no way whatsoever.

 

You don't seem to get it at all. You're resume consists of your opponents faced. Canelo has not only faced better opponents (Save for 3G, whom each faced), but he's also beaten better boxers than Jacobs has.

 

I don't see how he doesn't get it!!

 

And since 95% of the world saw 3G win both fights. what does that tell you about the version of 3G canelo fought? So you don;t count any wins for ANY fighter if you deem them too old? Is that it?

 

Are you kidding me?

 

Canelo biggest challenge was Mayweather not ggg

 

That's the reason it was his biggest challenge he was young green and fought at a catch weight against the number 1 p4p fighter

 

He's one of those guys who kills himself to make the weight. DJ certainly doesn't belong to middleweight. His resume is pretty good, but I just can't respect a guy who only fights smaller guys. In Canelo he'll finally find a foe at last who can baloon up as much as him. We'll see his true colors in this fight.If he wins, hats off.

 

You're so money baby that you got to know it. Probably my favorite current fighter and cant find one thing about him that would be off-putting to others, besides of course his skin color and extremely rare blend of size, speed, power, strength, toughness, and very high skill level -- especially offensively and the threat he and his rare package of skills, talent, athleticism, and mental toughness/resilience pose to fighters who aren't black. Let's all be real here for a minute, it's so blatantly obvious race is far and away most posters main bias for and against fighters and CLEARLY the most prominent deciding factor in regards to why so many posters are all star fanboys to certain fighters while simultaneously being the biggest detractors and disrespectors of certain other fighters who coincidentally dont seem to look much alike.

I've said this before -- growing up in NYC, once he started boxing and began to outclass so many of his opponents a huge hype train started to build and before long he clearly established himself as a clearly elite amateur phenom. I think he won 5 NY Golden Gloves championships and firmly established himself as one of USA's best amateurs. I'm not even talking just in his division, he was one of a handful of the most elite American amateurs that were destined to become future professional stars, world champions, and maybe even one or two top 10 p4p fighters in the world. It was Jacobs, Demetrius Andrade, Terrence Crawford, and Shawn Porter but out of all of them it was Danny Jacobs or Andrade who were going to turn out to be the best of that group and most though it would be Jacobs.

Hype train officially turned into a hype bullet trained and once Danny turned pro and just decimated all opponents put in front of him the hype train took off headed towards outer space. He just breezed through can after can but you could see numerous truly special and elite qualities he possessed. He was so dominant that he was movedvfar too quickly and victimized by horrific matchmaking. I think he was only 21 or 22 years old when he fought Pirog and in retrospect that was to big a jump in competition to make at that age but the matchmaking was even worse. Why put such a young, gifted, and athletic prospect with so much potential in with an older, more experienced, extremely skilled, very awkward and very slick boxer-puncher who was every bit the prospect Danny and the other Americans were, except Pirog was MUCH further along in his development. And to add onto it he was possibly the most unique prospect in all of boxing and one of the most unique in all of boxing, finding proper sparring partners who could prepare him for Pirog and so many more things that were wrong with it. Total eff up.

It was too much too soon against too good a prospect who had developed mich more than Danny had and he got KTFO. You could see he was just totally unprepared for this bout. Between that loss and Danny being diagnosed with Cancer tue hype train imploded and Danny was forgotten about. But Danny took those two horrible things -- the two things that destroyed the hype train, that had serious potential to not only ruin his career but take his life, and faced them head on like a warrior and overcame the Cancer and the loss, learned so much from them and about himself, and turned himself into a better man and much better boxer who had now beaten and overcome way more and worse adversity in such a small time frame and became one of the most resilient professional athletes in the world. He had to basically start his boxing career all over again and kept getting better, learning, and beating better opposition each time out until he finally got in the ring with GGG and not only proved he belonged but a lot of spectators either had him drawing with GGG or narrowly beating GGG -- the supposedly unbeatable, indestructible, murderous punching, and long reigning MW champ and top 10 p4p fighter, some even ranking him top 5.

That early loss to Pirog is the biggest reason hes the most underrated boxer in the world right now, but only fools should hold it against him, and regardless, even though he lost he learned so much in defeat that I think it's had a far greater impact on him as a fighter and eventually for his career that it will be seen as a positive when all is said and done.
