    3rd best Middleweight. I thought he beat Golovkin but he hasn't looked as good in his last two fights. Though Sulecki was no slouch by any means and I am surprised this is the first time I saw him fight

    This. If anything he's overrated. Besides Quillin his resume is nothing special. Pirog was easily schooling Jacobs before he knocked the daylights out of Jacobs. Steward was even shocked at how easily Jacobs was getting schooled. Charlo and Canelo would both beat him and BJS and Jacobs is a 50/50 fight.

    I was surprised how bad Danny has looked in his last two fights. I agree with Abel Sanchez..Danny looked poor against suleki the other night. Worryingly poor. Whether the GGG fight took a lot out of him, or he has lost motivation, or he is just going downhill in general due to age etc etc I don't know. But based in his last two fights, he's not as good as he was.

    Danny seems to ranked by fans according to his last fight. After being dominated and iced by Pirog he was exposed. Being staggered by Mora confirmed he had a china chin. Then he ices Quillen in one round and really redeems himself as a legit threat. He milks that win until Golovkin, where he’s expected to get ktfo. However, he does much better than expected; not only does he not get stopped but he gives GGG his most competitive fight and ends Golovkin’s ko streak. Suddenly Danny is regarded as the second best middleweight. A real beast who comes in as a cruiser and will probably beat GGG in a rematch. He milks that competitive loss for all it’s worth until a couple of unimpressive wins leaves us all wondering if he’s slipping or overrated.

    Jacobs had a very difficult time with a jr. middleweight who was unknown. Golovkin beat Jacobs, knocked him down, staggered him with a left jab at the end of one round late, almost stopped him them, Jacobs ran like hell the entire fight, he mostly fought to survive................Golovkin would have knocked Jacobs out Sat. night for sure..................Jacobs needs to fight Charlo, Charlo actually beat a cripple, then he beat Pee Wee Herman................Golovkin will knock both of them out, Saunders would be both Devrechenko is a fighter to look out for, he fights much better than the cripple Charlo fought and he fights better than Pee Wee Herman......................Pee Wee needs to go back to his playhouse..................
