    He didn't look like a real cruiserweight, but some people like to argue 176 "technically" being a cruiser but that's just bs

    Saunders and GGG would easily out weigh Jacobs and Andrade. Jacobs and Andrade have straw legs and tiny waists. They just look reasonable sized because they have biggish arms and shoulders.

    Jarrett Hurd is twice the size of Andrade and he fights at 154 still
    Jacobs is a little bigger than Andrade I suppose.

    GGG and Saunders are legit 185bsers, thats why GGG cried so much about Jacobs missing that morning weigh in.
    It was a huge disadvantage for a guy so big and old. Probably a small part of the reason he ended up ditching the IBF.

    FFS James... 3G was so much smaller than Jacobs. WTF is wrong with you? Are you this desperate to blatantly lie, or are your eyes really just this bad?

    So stupid....

    The best matchups rarely consist of the biggest names, yet another example.

    Boxing is probably the only sport where the events that most excite die hard fans and the ones that most excite casuals are completely different events.

    I didn't order the Floyd/Conor fiasco (went to Cotto vs. Kamegai that night) but am stoked for this fight.

    This fight is getting drastically overlooked, IMO. Here we have Jacobs, who many thought beat GGG and I would heavily favor against Canelo, and Derevyanchenko who seems to be the real deal and just looking for that first big scalp on his resume.

    The styles line up for a great fight. Jacobs can be chinny but he's faster and has reach advantages. It could end at any moment, no matter the score at the time.

    GGG is a weight bully, but at his advanced age its detrimental. Nobody can cut that kind of weight forever without paying for it eventually

    An interesting fact: Derevyanchenko beat Usyk (very early) in amateurs. :smile: I couldn't find this fight at amateur-boxing.strefa.pl, but a Ukrainian boxer (Denys Berinchyk) said it in an interview not so long ago, so I guess we can believe him.

    Another one of those pre-fight 'Oh my god...look at his legs' threads.

    Love the picture with Jacobs and a couple of ring girls, and the fact you're even looking at Jacob's legs.
