He has confidence thats the key thing the guy is coming of some good wins and is on a 12 fight ko streak he is for sure for me the second best middleweight.
I can see why someone would think that, but out of those 12 knockouts only one of them was vs someone decent and that one you could argue was stopped early. I would love to see a rematch between Quillin and Jacobs since I don't think we really learned who was the better fighter from that match.
