    Jacobs looked big last night. Do you think he should move up to SMW?

    He still has a reason to stay and he can comfortably make 160, he might want to right the wrong of yesterday and leave no doubt.

    If he wants to move up then that's good too, plenty of nice fights @ 168, CEJ vs Jacobs would be fun, fancy CEJ thumping him from pillar to post myself.

    That might prove to be interesting. New challenges.

    Maybe the 8 extra pounds could benefit him.
    Golovkin vs Jacobs 2 probably won't happen.

    no, he needs to get a rematch or fight canelo, when the ggg-canelo "negotiations" fall through again. both fights offer more money than anything he can line up at 168.

    I think in 2 years he will move up but he is way more dangerous at MW

    Probably will eventually, but if he can make 160 then there's no reason to right now

    Rosier his trainer was talking about moving up soon.
    Jacobs won't be able to make 160 for long

    Not until he rematches GGG. The first fight was an amazing exhibition of skill and will power. I will gladly pay for part 2.
