    He certainly could! I would not pick it as the most likely scenario, but Jacobs is a top notch operator who gave GGG a tough test and proved he is durable. I think it would be an exciting fight, but would expect Canelo to edge it. I would probably hope for GGG vs Jacobs II with the winner getting a crack at Canelo

    Canelo fans and Trump supporters have so much in common. Take away each respective agenda and they essentially support their hero in the same way.

    Which is really sad, I used to like Canelo some time ago.

    I predict that Jacobs plays it safe and outboxes Canelo in a closely fought contest only to lose a controversial decision.

    Probably exactly what will happen.
    Jacobs will lose more than Canelo will win. If that makes sense.

    U tripping if u think it will be easy fight for Canelo. This is a tough fight for Canelo. Jacobs has a good jab and has size advantages with a longer reach. He will make Canelo work. His movement will make it even harder. Even though Canelo is good at cutting off the ring, he struggles with boxers that moves around the ring well. Jacob is not a come forward fighter, so it won't be easy for Canelo. Plus Jacobs has power too, so Canelo won't be too reckless.

    Both are good. Jacobs isnt getting a decision against Canelo, even if he deserves it, which he very well could.
