    When will Jacobs enforce his mandatory to fight Golovkin for the WBA strap? Golovkin won't have any other options but to fight him or lose the belt. After all, Golovkin only fights bums and as soon as Jacobs asks for a fight Golovkin will run for the woods! If no Canelo at CANELOWEIGHT then Jacobs vs Golovkin? I don't know why Jacobs is waiting so long to demand this fight against that bum killer, Golovkin.

    What are you talking about? Jacobs is scared of Golovkin and will do his best to avoid facing him.

    Danny Jacobs is the WBA Middleweight champion. He and Golovkin seem to be avoiding (not ducking!) each other.

    jacobs would make more money not fighting ggg. once ggg destroys him his career wont be the same. he can fight other people for a long time instead and save a lifes worth of money first.

    I would like to see Jacobs try to enforce the mandatory.

    But it won't happen.

    Jacobs is scheduled to fight Andy Lee on the Frampton-LSC card is he not?

    Sweet lord.

    2016 Andy Lee would be, at the worst, Golovkins' fourth best opponent to date (and in the same tier as his other three "best wins")!

    Nope. Jacobs is the mandatory for Golovkin's title. Jacobs should be enforcing the mando but for some reason chooses not to.

    In fairness, Jacobs did just fight and blast out a top 5 MW in his last bout.

    True and did so because of the same promoter. That's why he got a top 5 MW in the ring. Why not go after the #1 in the division, though? He has more experience because he has had better competition that Golovkin who only fights "bums"

    Hey, I wish Jacobs vs. Golovkin will happen, if there is no better alternative for each/both. Only Alvarez and Saunders could really fit in that discussion.

    Jacobs has not faced better opposition top to bottom than Golovkin. Perhaps he has faced the best two individual fighters between them (L to Pirog, W over Quillin), but Jacobs doesn't have the depth of fringe-top 10-20 guys that Golovkin does. Golovkin is 5 years older than Jacobs, as well. Not sure how you could really think Jacobs is more experienced than Golovkin.

    Enforce it? Jacobs doesn't even want to acknowledge it.

    Jacobs has slim to no chance vs. Golovkin, I'd say not even a puncher's chance.
