    When Golovkin fought a close fight with him everyone said that Jacobs is the No.2 middleweight in the world who is extremely big and a very difficult opponent

    Now when Canelo is going to fight with him everyone is predicting an easy win for Canelo, maybe a late stoppage.

    What changed? Jacobs is not the same fighter after the GGG fight?

    I don't know it's a boxing forum and we are all dumb or fickle here. the mods are dumb, I'm dumb you're dumb other times perhaps. but this is the fight I wanted the most other than GGG 3

    I think if BJS got it all together he’d be close behind the top 2 middleweights and then it’s Jacobs just behind that.

    Different people say different things. A lot of fans have agendas as well.

    I think Jacobs loses but that's because I don't think you can beat Canelo on the cards. It's an awkward matchup. Jacobs can definitely win if he approaches it properly but I don't trust the judges to be honest.

    I think he is, I thought he was robbed against GGG and I think he will beat Canelo.

    Jacobs is one of the best in division. Between him and Canelo, there is very little in it.

    Come fight night, I see it 50/50, but I am leaning towards Jacobs.
    Jacobs come very, very close to beating GGG. More so than I believe Canelo did on either occasion in fight 1 or 2.

    Right now = 1. GGG 2. Canelo 3. Jacobs
    After the fight = 1. GGG 2. Jacobs 3. Canelo
    In a years time = 1. Jacobs 2. Canelo 3. GGG

    I dont think that. I think this is a very tough fight. I scored GGG Jacobs closer than i scored either GGG Canelo fights. Its a good fight.

    lol ain't that the truth,Tyson Fury was one second away from being everyone's glass jawed bum of the month and 're Jacob's he's a guy that a lot thought Canelo would never fight so to now suggest he's no chance is ridiculous.

    Jacobs is the clearly better, more athletic, more dynamic, and bigger fighter(without Canelos BS PED's). Jacobs is by far the better fighter imo and dog walks Canelo. What the official catda say, who cares, we can all watch and see what transpires by ourselves just like his 2 fights against GGG.

    yes that's the only reason folk don't think Jacob's will win as Canelo has got a great chin and is solid enough to win six or seven rounds albeit five rounds still gets him a win.

    Andrade vs billy joe decided the match after.

    I hope canelo avoids bad meat and billy joe avoids nasal spray
