    Jacobs is a big, elite boxer/puncher and can get away with things even the great Mayweather can't. I think the jab had a big role in this fight, which might of given Jacobs the victory and I was surprised he threw too little of. Still, it was a very good boxing display from both fighters. Critics should be giving Ggg credit for his underrated boxing skills, even tho it don't look "slick" or pretty, and Jacobs should be getting credit just for going the distance because it's easier said than done! Floyd, he is a legend, but if he wouldn't take on Margarito, what makes anyone think he'd take on Ggg? If he ever did, and won, THEN he has a strong argument of being the GOAT. He should stay retired. Not even he will beat Father Time because even at some point, he'd lose to a Danny Garcia. And we've seen many legends fall to mortals, to men they shouldn't of have lost too.

    Complete mis-match. Floyd would be talking like Terry Norris the rest of his life. Far lesser accomplished ring-cutters than Golovkin have got to Floyd and touched him up, GGG would trap him and pulverise him unconscious.

    I don't know why Floyd is so insecure, he is uber-talented, grossly wealthy and highly respected within his chosen field (boxing) - the only setting where he ever comes across as having real confidence is inside the ring. It is a real shame as with all he's accomplished he could have became an true icon, respected consensually instead of the polarising figure he is today.

    Floyd is one of my all time favs esp what he made Canelo look like but you're maidana caused more probe for Floyd than Canelo ever looked like,GGG would get out boxed for sure but GGG would touch Floyd at some point,just not a fair fight in my opinion

    I think a catch weight would be fair. I would also put a hydration clause in place too. I personally think G's skills are overrated. He has a good jab but the bigger Jacobs was able to evade a lot of his shots and use things against G he never used against other fighters such as movement and boxing. I think G has very slow handspeed as well. I think Floyd can easily time him. Only punch I see G giving Floyd trouble with is the jab. This is assuming Floyd isn't a shot 40 year old.

    Floyd would never dare fight GGG. The only way that ever happened, is if someone beats and exposes GGG for slowing down and aging, but it would probably take that happening a couple times, GGG would have to lose twice for Floyd to be confident enough that he could beat him. Floyd simply doesn't F with prime, truly great fighters. But great fighters washing up who've taken some losses, Floyds all over it then.

    Both Jacobs and GGG knock him out in the 2nd half of the fight.

    Floyd got rocked by Maidana....
