    This happens a lot in boxing, because there are a lot of "world" titles. It's nothing new. Look at Andre Dirrell, not everyone was sure he was world class, until he hung in with Froch and outboxed Abraham. Now no-one disputes his ability. Sometimes these kind of career rushing tests work, sometimes they fail miserably.
    Jacobs is either weak chinned, or tight at the weight, either way it's highly unlikely he will be a top bracket fighter at 160.

    I dont think jacobs did that badly, he didnt look completely comfortable and the shot probably came to soon for him, but no big deal

    After the 7 Years War George Washington applied for a commision in the British army. The Brits said old George was just an over-hyped prospect, and turned him down. Damn limeys never could judge fighting men!

    I know your American, your location is Las Vegas.

    I didn't know you were referring to the thread starter, maybe you should have said some British dudes instead of just "British dudes".

    Its alot easier to get opportunities in America, im sure if Jacobs can beat someone like Manfredo he will get another chance, but it will be against a weaker champ or challenger
