What exactly speaks for GGG to win this fight against Jacobs??

This content is protected

GGG is actually the underdog.

Jacobs,

- hits harder

- is younger (many people here criticize GGG's age)

- is quicker, faster

- comes from a tough neighbourhood

- faced better fighters according to most users here. I heard claims that Pirog was way better than GGG is and Quillin was rated higher than GGG. Many here even claimed GGG ducks him. Allegedly GGG also ducked Mora and Mora would beat everyone on GGG's resume.

- he beat cancer, his will to win will be greater than GGG's because he knows what he already achieved

I don't know much about Jacob's stamina but we know that GGG gets hardly tired.

 

It's not what I said, but what many other users said the last few years.

 

Some of these quotes were sarcasm. Others are my opinion. I for example believe that athletes get better and there were only few exceptions in the past that would be better than today's fighters or on the same level.

I also root for the underdogs. Give em some love too. Bellew proofed all his haters wrong, I picked him to win against Haye because of the inactivity and poor opponent choice of Haye. And I never thought he's that good anyway. Meanwhile Bellew's career really boosted since the Chilemba rematch. He beat some very good boxers. I also believe Joe Smith Jr. would beat Kovalev or Ward. He's very basic but he has heart and can punch. In boxing everything can happen. Fighters would underestimate him and that's their problem. But I wouldn't be suprised if Ward outboxes him either.

 

Let's say instead of "would", "could". I am never certain except it's an absolute mismatch, but I predicted many upsets in the past. Smith Jr. is a good boxer, who knocked out Fonfara in round 1 and who knocked Hopkins out of the ring, both things neither Stevenson nor Kovalev did. This doesn't mean that based on that he would beat both fighters 100%, but it means he has a good chance. He's a proven, decent fighter.
