    Sounds like you're asking for credit/recognition, so I pity-liked your post.

    No Canelo and GGG are both elite champions. They rule a division. Jacobs is not special. He would be Quarry or Norton to GGG and Canelo's Ali or Holmes. He would be Benny Briscoe instead of Monzon or Hagler. There will always be at least one man in the division who can whip him. Thus, he's a top contender who will never be champ.

    Who has Jacobs beaten?

    Quillin (remember him?)
    Derevchanyenko (close, who has beaten no one)

    Hardly the stuff of HOF

    Except for that numerous arguments have been made as to how GGG was ducking both Derevyanchenko and Quillin in the past.

    hes proved himself world class so far, thats his level for now. elite/hof claims are just BS to try and yield a fake elite/HOF win to 3G's resume. These guys are fake 3G fans, they should know 3G is yet to take his greatest scalps.

    Jacobs is good but flawed. Charlo would probably beat him fairly decisively. Jacobs will find a way to lose vs Canelo.

    He hasnt been been decisively beaten in 8 years. Which is an eternity in boxing. He probably beats Golovkin now.

    GGG reign as a dominant force is over. It's almost 2019 it's not 2014 anymore. The MW division is stronger now and Golovkin is old anyways.

    Jacobs wont fight Canelo anytime soon. Risk reward too high. BJS Saunders will duck him. Andrade never fights anyways and same with Charlo. And Charlo barely got by Austin Trout anyways.

    Hes the new boogeyman of the division.

    I do think he is probably the best (or co-best, along with Canelo & GGG, against either of whom I could easily see him splitting a series, anybody's ballgame on a given night) h2h but he is yet to prove himself "top dog". That'll require putting in a bit more work and clearing out some peers.

    Game of inches at that level, I don't think you can say any of them is clearly better than any other. Especially given the results when three of the four of them have met.

    GGG vs. Jacobs and Canelo I & II were all razor-thin, and Jacobs vs. BJS or Canelo would be 50-50.
