    The man who shattered the GGG invincibility perception. Never had a chance to beat Canelo anyways as we all know the cards are rigged during Canelo fights. Also came back from a devastating early career knockout and beat cancer.

    A true fighter who never backs down from anybody. And one of the classiest fighters you will ever see.

    He might have the best resume in the sport for anybody under age 35.

    He also retired Pirog. He took his soul.

    I agree, Jacobs is excellent, and a top-shelf fighter.

    Yeah he seems to be a good dude. Made a fan out of me a while back. He showed really well in close but clear losses to GGG and Canelo.

    Because unlike Canelo he didn't drain and dry out his opponents or wait till they showed obvious signs of decline.

    B level fighter at best not that there is anything wrong with that he's had a nice career. I also disagree it wasn't jacobs who exposed ggg it was kel brook who exposed him he was just too small to stand up to gggs attack.:deal:
