How good is Daniel Jacobs?

A very good fighter who turned in the performance of a lifetime against Golovkin.

 

Guess we’d know more if he fought Saunders,guy has skills and would be a deserving champion imo

 

I think that Jacobs is elite he fights to the level of his opposition though.

 

Very much a true statement. I think Jacobs is the kind of guy who will hang with any middleweight at all. He would be one of the toughest fights in the career of any all time middleweight... Yet also feel he doesn't necessarily make it clear that he's above the level of some lesser opponents.
He's basically a rock, and is hard for anyone to beat. Which is a great quality in a boxer

 

Not a dude that you match up with against historically great and relevant MW's, but he is a very good fighter at the least and one of the best MW's of the last decade (largely based on the Golovkin fight). We will see how well he does from here out.

 

A good fighter who’s biggest claim to fame is giving GGG a competitive in a losing effort.

 

Think he's overrated personally. Elite MW but not at a level where'd considsd him a p4p level fighter, though he's close.

Actually think Derev will beat him.

 

Personally I had him winning 1 round.

Actually I think he schools Derevyanchenko.

 

This. You could see that he was geared up for GGG like never before and his performance was tremendous. I've seen other fights where he wasn't so impressive though. I think he's going to be in top shape for SD. He better be because Derevyanchenko doesn't mess around.

 

Jacobs is an elite fighter. Who also happens to be incredibly HUGE for middleweight.

 

He was also pumped up for Quillin and he went right after him an took him out.

 

I think Daniel is a walking talking LHW and smashes all middleweights of today, bar GGG.


I think roided he beats prime b hop too.

 

He is a good middleweight, I think he does well agains the current crop but he doesn’t seem to put all the individual pieces together. I think his concentration and lack of a concrete style is what leads him to under perform at times.

 

He didn’t smash Sulecki, he was taken to the wire on that fight.
