Is this same Fletcher who lost to a prospect in Saunders? Not sure how he is seen as better than Adama never mind Geale Ring Ranked number 2.
Regardless of the cynicism directed at the thread starter - Jacobs DID look good. For me he is USAs premier middleweight now. But he is very unproven. How much did the cancer & Radiation poisoning treatment take out of him? Can he go 10 or 12 hard rounds? He needs to meet and pass some tough tests before he can be spoken of in terms of fighting GGG. But he is one of the leaders of the chasing pack now.
If Jacobs doesnt sign to fight Quillin within 8 days, Quillin will be forced to fight Korobov or VACATE. If Quillin signs with Korobov, you can rest assured Chudinov will be IMPOSING his mandate on Jacobs, who's only way out of an exposure by Chudinov is a payday vs GGG.
GGG has a better chance of killin jacobs thats for sure. jacobs swings kinda wild misses alot if he gets caught slippin like that vs ggg its lights out. i would love a jacobs/ggg fight tho ..
Hmm... wouldn't Quillin be stripped anyway now the mando's been ordered? I'm not sure on WBO policy, I know in some cases unification bouts take priority, but in this case Jacobs is not the 'real' WBA champ, GGG is, so it wouldn't really be a genuine unification fight.
No, just like with Bernard, a unification fight can take precedent. I'd imagine though that Quillin likes his chances vs Korobov, who doesnt do ANYTHING great, and tends to cruise through the middle rds. Quillin is becoming a better outside fighter over his last 3-4 fights.....and if he can pump the jab and steer clear of infighting for about 4-5 rds, he can wait until Korobov is out of breath and rally mid rds. Maybe get a KO.:think
As for Jacobs being a paper titlist.....so is Chudinov, but Im certain the exception would stand for either.:think
GGG would eventually starch Danny if they fought though I wouldnt mind seeing the fight based on styles alone Danny would touch up GGG with some nice neck snapping shots before getting KO'd.
I wonder what the OP thinks of Billy Joel Saunders, he beat the "very credible and well schooled Fetcher, who is better than Geale" in even better dominant fashion Than Jacobs did.
