close fight but the gut says Jacobs, think he would be on his bike the whole fight so he doesn't get his chin cracked from that monster left of Lemieux! don't think Lemieux has what it takes to break Jacobs down over 12
I have DL by KO. Danny has no defense of Golovkin and when DL connects, it´s game over. Danny would be on his bike, but DL is relentless when he comes forward. I expect they meet after one of them wins a belt and other gets mandatory position (Nobody wants to fight DL voluntarily except GGG) sometime between 2019-2021.
Both have glass chins but Jacobs takes it. Lemieux is a club fighter, Jacobs isn't much better but he has better boxing ability.
Lemmy has to be one of the most one dimensional guys currently in boxing. His punches are so wide and telegraphed, he made GGG look like Ali. Lemmy won about every round and put a beating on Rosado, yet his technique was horrible and he looked pretty bad. That being said, Jacobs isn't much better. A brawler with a questionable chin and stamina issues. It's a pick em fight, yet I leans towards Jacobs slightly due to having the better wins. He's also taller than Lemmy with a greater reach, and perhaps bigger one punch power. I'd pay to see it though, decent scrap.
I ALMOST agree. Only differ on when. Jacobs is no defensive master, and he has a tendency to panic on defense rather than counter. A blitzkreig of Lemiuex as he did Quillin would end his night in the first 10seconds, but if he fought a smart fight he could probably hold Lemiuex off for about 4 rds. Lemiuex KO3-6
Ummmmm? Lemiuex has NEVER shown even the slightest deficiency in punch resistance and he's lost 2 of his 3 fights to arguably the 2 heaviest punchers in the MW division, other than himself, of the past 10 yrs.
It could go either way. If Jacobs comes to brawl he loses but if he comes to box he would have a much better shot at beating Lemieux. The thing is like I have said before we don't know how good Jacobs really is. Its hard to gauge him he has only been beaten by Pirog (who we never got to see how good he really was) but I think Jacobs is better than he was at that time. He has one solid win against Quillin and mostly because of the fashion of the win. He didn't even follow up on that and fought Mora twice and was even put down by the old feather duster. As for Lemieux he has decent power but is overrated by alot of people on here. I feel in a more talented division he would be a gatekeeper. He stepped up and lost to THEE MW GATEKEEPER in old Rubio and again against GGG where he was thoroughly outboxed. He could not even knockout Acline. Who was previously TKOed in one round by Angulo shortly before and in 1 round by Macklin in the very next fight after he beat Lemieux. I will say most of Lemieuxs fights are good for the fans though he is an exciting fighter but if Jacobs stays on the bike which I think he would it will be a stinker.
