    Ok parked up in the division known for weight bullies,Canelo made a career and a name for himself there but at 160 the true Middleweight division it’s a different story.
    Try walking through punches for ten rounds off the Middleweights and if it comes off then good luck to you.

    Jacobs is as chinny as they come and Hurd is young and relentless and strong.

    Do the math, Jacobs is a skinny guy, probably should be @ 154. I was shocked how much of a size advantage GGG had over him.

    Hurd is probably still a good bit bigger than Jacobs too.

    I like Hurd a lot. He would get KO'd.

    Hurd would have his face rearranged.

    I'd like to see Hurd beat Jacobs but that won't happen. Jacobs is just as big but punches harder and is more technically sound. Hurd gets a beating in this fight.

    This. Hurd's habit of walking through punches won't work at 160. Jacobs would knock Hurd senseless if Hurd tried to walk him down with his hand down like Hurd did against Lara and Trout, who were past prime and never punchers.

    Hurd is huge even at 160 and bigger than most at 168 but his power and chin wont be quite the same at those divisions.His style just won`t cope most likely.

    Caleb Truax held a title at 168 not long and considering that fact then what is stopping Hurd from achieving such a thing ? For that to happen he needs to fight some very weak fighter at 160 or 168 for vacant title probably.

    I mean some of those organizations had super weak title holders in the past like Liam Smith at 154 , Caleb Truax at 168 and Lemieux at 160. Hurd is huge and got some power , chin and determination and also stamina.

    I believe that Jacobs can outpoint Hurd or stop him late but Jacobs is pretty overrated due to his performance against Golovkin and had disappointing performance in his last fight against underrated fighter that just moved from 154 up to 160 just to fight him.

    Bullies always end up finding "the one", the one who is just a little bit bigger and badder than them. I respect Hurd, he's making the most of the tools he's been given, but I believe Jacobs busts him up.

    So what exactly makes Hurd huge for 168? I don't even think he rehydrates to 168. He would probably come in under the limit if he fought at SMW.

    I don't think he rehydrates to 168 either more likely 175-180

    But that is having to weigh in @ 154 the previous day, looking at his frame he could very easily move up and be a huge 168lber

    6ft1 76.5", those numbers are very decent even @ 175lbs

    Hurd says he walks around at 170 pounds.
