I thought Jacobs was "Terrified " of GGG? ?

    Jacobs is a nice story but he's nothing special with a shaky chin he will be stopped in 5 rounds or less.

    we won't really see how good he is, jacobs isn't very good at all and will be knocked out quickly

    We don't know that, and we certainly don't know how good GGG is. He's the most overhyped boxer in boxing today.

    Sergio Mora almost KO.. A more shot Mora than the one old ass Mosley handled.

    i wouldn't say overhyped, he has most of the belts in he's division and everyone he has faced gets beaten to a pulp and numerous fighters avoid him, unless there are people calling him the greatest middleweight ever i wouldn't call him overhyped and they are probably just fan boys

    i do think jacobs is over hyped, he has one good win in he's career, quillin. apart from that he has done and beaten very little, ggg will destroy him

    True but if Brook had GGG'S looking like a bobble head it's certainly possible Jacobs can knock him on his ass. Jacobs is a more dynamic puncher p4p than brook.

    Exactly Mora dropped him that right there tells you everything you need to know about him. I never understood why people hyped him as an opponent for GGG?

    I think it's more along the lines of 35%.

    Proksa was supposed to give him problems first, he didn't. We were going to see how good he is against Macklin, somehow we didn't. Same with Geale. Same with Murray. They all ended up being bums, so will Jacobs. He WILL be labelled a bum if he loses, especially by early KO.

    I guess for the same reason why they hype Badou Jack as an opponent, a guy who got KOd by an a lot lesser fighter to Mora.

    Jacobs shocks the boxing world, and stops GGG early.

    Proscar, Macklin and Geale aren't that good imo. I don't think Jacobs will win, but Jacobs is a big puncher himself and if WW Brook was able to rock GGG out of his socks, it very possible Jacobs can do the same and some. He's going to have to box a more disciplined fight than ever if he's going to have a shot here.

    Its definitely a possibility, but I don't think Jacobs is defensively sound enough to not get caught.
