    Hopefully Jacobs stops him.

    Can’t see anyone getting a decision against Canelo, no matter how deserving. Even Mayweather couldn’t get a UD despite schooling Canelo.

    Canelo hasn’t fought a guy this big who can box. When has Canelo ever outboxed a boxer? Never. Also, Jacobs has added a few dirty Andre Ward moves to his arsenal lately, which I doubt Canelo is ready for. I like Jacobs on points. Which means Canelo 120-108, 120-108, 120-108.

    I have a feeling Canelo stops Jacobs.
    He lands a sneaky fastball punch that catches Jacobs. He drops him , hurts him, and jumps on him with the red waving it off

    Tend to agree with this.

    Jacobs does a few things differently from Golovkin which I think wil trouble Canelo. He likes moving around and using his size; Canelo doesn't like movers. Jacobs punches in flurries and when people let their hands go against Canelo they can hit him. Jacobs also has a sizzling body attack and it will be interesting to see how it affects Canelo in the later rounds.

    That said, Canelo is a tank and he's proven he can take ridiculous punches without blinking. He's also going to have his moments where he's landing sharp counters and his own flurries. Canelo has a very attractive style and its going to allow the judges to give him rounds.

    I think Jacobs outlands him and then gets stiffed on the cards.

    Jacobs would have to KO him to win. It's a similar dilemma to any boxer facing Canelo, he's a good enough boxer to make it a close fight against anyone (except FMJ) and any close fight goes to him. So it is tough.

    On how I think it goes, see this going the distance. Close, 2-3 round margin type affair for either guy. Good fight all in all, look forward to seeing it.

    including Mayweather if May fought the older Canelo, but that wouldn't have happened

    His name isn't even Canelo.

    Canelo is just a nickname that has become his official name. Canelo means cinamon in Spanish.
