    Thinking he would lose to the best is far different than saying he's trash

    He slips, blocks, then turns into a philly shell, giving you a different look each time.

    Jacobs is a solid B maybe B+ level guy. He's repeatedly shown he's not A level. He's lost clearly in all of his biggest fights, and he has had tough, close fights with other guys who are not A level.

    An exaggeration. Trash would have lost to Ouma.

    Canelo just beat Jacobs more clearly than Golovkin did. Being a Golden Boy fighter didn't male a difference in the decision.

    There are three elite, A level boxers at MW, and Jacobs is one of them.

    Nah......

    For this current crop, A-, B+. I'm not comparing him historically, I'm using a sliding scale.

    Saunders is far better and has a better jab.

    Agred. But, Keith Holmes would beat Jacobs.

    What an absolute terrible post. The following is a list of fighters who got put to sleep and had the absolute crap beaten out of them in their prime.

    Paul Williams, Marco Antonio Barrera, Danny Jacobs, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Tommy Hearns, Wilfred Benitez, Jake LaMotta, Miguel Cotto, Gene Fullmer, Michael Nunn, Lennox Lewis and many more.

    Just really, really, really bad post.
