    He is more than capable of beating GG. And I like this fight. Now we can see how GG deals with the best MW that he will have to deal with. People forget that he could've got up against Pirog, but the ref kept him down. I like this fight and want to see what happens when GG is hit by a hard punching MW his size. I'll be the first to give GG props if he wins this fight, the first!!!

    In fairness jacobs went down like he got shot and was on the canvas about 8 seconds before he made any attempt to move, if the count was done properly he still wouldn't have got up in time

    Jacobs has the quickest hands at middle and can be a deadly puncher. I think him and Tureano Johnson are the 2 best talented, aside from Ggg, but their talent doesn't match their skill, that's why they've lost and struggled fights they should have easily won.

    Jacobs is a quality middleweight and has definitely earned his shot. I hope he takes it.

    Jacobs is good, he's also much bigger than triple. I want to see it happen.

    I presume, he really wants a pay-day. It will be a great amount of money "in the game". Would you miss it ?

    Hard to say, peter quill in had no issue missing it. Its hard to tell with fight these days when you can make decent money fighting scrubs

    Example- ward made 2 million fighting smith, id guess he will make 3-4 million fighting kovalev.

    Would you prefer to have two glorified sparring sessions against 2 bums or fight a killer for about the same money?

    And this goes for any fighter im not singling out ward
