I'd say sometime next year. He's fought frequently but is still very young. I think he's moving at a good pace, and MW is not very deep, so I would say sometime next year.
Also depends if Pavlik keeps tying up the two belts he has and Sturm doesn't ever step up. That leaves the vacant IBF, and I doubt whoever wins it will want to defend against Jacob's soon. He may be delayed by boxing politics.
Very little. Either way, let's see how he fares against Ishe first before we say he's even close to ready.
