    Golovkin, Gonzalez and Rungsival all did VADA. Jacobs didn't.

    Not likely.

    He still has big money fights at MW if he hangs around 160 and SMW would give him nice fights vs the Dirrels, and I personally think he could beat DeGale and put the GGG loss behind him......that is, IF, he loses tonight.

    Really?
    I thought Jacobs had some reduced "special treatment" paper version. Not completely untested though.

    I blasted Lemieux when he did it so I have to blast Jacobs. I hope GGG stops him in a brutal fashion, it's a disgrace that these guys fight in divisions they are clearly to big for.

    Either a) he's intentionally trying to balloon up, b) couldn't maintain being below 170 and healthy or c) doesn't think the IBF belt is worth the effort.

    The health of all fighters matters to me. GG and Jacobs are full fledged mws. How much of a weight advantage can Jacobs have over GG? People think that you have a weight advantage if you weigh a few more pounds than the other guy. False.

    All during camp you are eating food that helps you lose and then maintain your weight. They don't gorge themselves when their weight balloons after the weigh in. Your body doesn't work like that. You can't eat digestible food and then eat just anything to rehydrate and expect the body to perform. Your digestive system doesn't work like that. You eat more of what you've been eating and drink a lot more.

    Duran got down to 147 for rematch with Sugar and his excuse was eating a big steak as to why he fought lackluster. Technically he's right and steak would do that, but people think that by Leonard boxing and not slugging won him the fight. That's a add-on lol...

    Size matters.

    And a good big man USUALLY beats a good smaller man.

    Not likely the case tonight, b/c the gap in skills, experience, punch resistance, and genuine confidence (Jacobs ain't gonna say he had a horrible camp, he's scared to death of getting starched etc).

    That said......my argument is for us the fans to KNOW who's the bigger man for betting purposes.....Doesnt apply here, but my point is valid, and for fighters negotiating future bouts.

    I truly believe that if the networks wanted to, they could force it on a fighter, and unless he wanted to toss off a sizable amount of dough, he'd oblige.

    The roided up man can use every trick in the book, it won't stop GGG from ripping out his heart.

    That's one of the reasons different belts exist with their own rules. Makes it more interesting. It also makes it that much harder to stay a Unified Champ at any level. You would have to follow the rules of every belt which is super tough to do. Jacob's would lose the IBF belt any in future fights. I think he only wants to beats GGG, not really stay unified champ
