    I won't miss him, tbh. I've never liked his boxing, I don't know exactly why, but that's it.

    Very good career and wasn't far away from a career changing / life changing win against GGG.

    The type of fighter I respect & admire. Gave GGG & Canelo all they could handle & more. Not to mention his battle with the evil cancer ,who he also defeated. One top of that he was also a heck of a nice guy Have a long Happy Healthy Retirement Daniel You've earned it

    Always felt Danny beat GGG, seriously. Even with the KD Danny just outworked GGG...was odd to see.

    Enjoy retirement, Danny, and thanks for your career. You kick ass !

    Happy retirement, champ. He had a fine career, always came across as a good guy, and a great story coming back from what he came back from and going on to achieve what he did.

    He made some very good money. Not only with GGG and Canelo but also got a monster payday vs Chavez Jr. He can hold his head high.

    My guess is some judges shared your opinion.

    That's a nice retirement speech from Jacobs. He clearly understands and I hope he inspire other kids to believe in themselves and achieve their dreams.
