    Jacobs is a cancer survivor, has a solid CV, especially with the Quillin KO, and is humble.

    I don't see him surviving a full fight with GGG, but I dont see anybody else either. :think

    Racism like an all white jury. Also projection since those would say great black hope, are the ones who are pushing their great white hopes. There's no media pushing Black fighters in America until they are on top. Ring magazine would rather put a white girl that's not even a boxer on the cover.

    Now that's said, Lemuiex did stun GGG a couple of times, he can certainly be hit and hurt. Maybe if he steps up and fights a live body he can get it.

    I don't remember Lemiuex stunning GGG, but I also saw the fight in HD live, on HBO PPV, not some lagging stream bootlegged from the net.

    As for the Jacobs HATE....it doesnt exist.

    Ppl saw him stunned badly and dropped by Mora.
    But we also saw him go for the kill vs Quillin knowing that Quillin would decapitate him later if he'd survived.
    So, in that respect, he's very smart.
    Also smart in the regard that he's adamant he wont be fighting GGG anytime soon:thumbsup

    With a far glassier jaw than David, and it doesn't matter anyway, it took Jacobs 12 rounds to stop Truax, and 5 rounds to stop glass jawed Aussie Fletcher who BJS quasi British stopped in 2. He not going to get lucky like he did last night against Quillin with GGG.

    I think it is silly that some fans say things like he struggled with this guy so there is no way he beats this guy or he got knocked down by this guy so that means this other guy will easily KO him :roll:, it doesn't always work that way, styles make fights, all this glass jaw talk is just ****, anybody can be knocked out at the elite level. Jacobs is a much better boxer than Lemuix and would easily be the best opponent Golovkin has faced.

    I remember tons of people calling him a classless joke because of how he acted after the Mora fight where he was far from humble. I also remember him ironically mocking Pirog's punching power before their fight.

    From the Mora RBR
