Is there any size advantage either way in Jacobs vs Canelo?

Both guys will be 170 maybe a slight over 172 173 max . But Jacobs only has the size (height wise advantage) .Canelo is more massive overall .

 

Jacobs is about 6'1" but he never uses it to his advantage. For a man with his wing span and shaky chin he should always be on the outside boxing, but he fights like a banger and it cost him many times in the past.

Canelo says he is 5'9" but I've seen him in person and he is about 5'7" to 5'8" with boots on,yet like you said he is wide like a tank. Him and Floyd are the same height and Floyd is tiny as hell in person too. Canelo has strength and skill on his side though.

Jacobs is gonna be the first man besides Floyd to beat Canelo on the cards.....if not at least Jacobs is good enough to lay down the blue print and show that Canelo only has looked better in recent fights because he's fought come forward fighters (Liam smith ,GGG,Chavez,Fielding )

 

Jacobs is much bigger, he will be 176-180, Canelo 170-172.

Canelo wasn't even a really big Jr Middle

 

Agreed, style wise he's a much harder opponent for Canelo than guys he's fought recently. Canelo's fights with Lara and Trout showed he struggles with movement, but personally I had him winning both those fights. Jacobs is good, very good in fact an upset isn't out of the question but I think Canelo will win another close decision and people will call in a robbery because well every close fight now seems to get called a robbery by someone.

 

If it's a close fight And If I have jacobs winning but it's close and goes to canelo I won't ***** about it .

 

I expect Jacobs to be 182-184ish and Canelo 177-179ish.

Some advantage for Jacobs here, but not too much. The real advantage in the fight will come from the favorable judging. Jacobs has to dominate to win, and it's unlikely he will.

 

There's no real advantage to Canelo in this contest except that Jacobs has to get a KO to win. But it's not like that's a huge deal or something. The rules of professional boxing state that to secure victory in a contest you have to KO your opponent. Don't be butthurt fanboys about it just because GGG didn't understand the rules of boxing. It's not bloody table tennis, you Khazak bum!

 

5' 11"ish he's listed m8.

 

Both will be right on the 170 mark on fight day. Canelo is like a bull and Jacobs has height and reach but if gbp hadn't put that clause in I can Imagine Jacobs coming in a good 10 pound more.

 

Jacobs is starting to **** me off....

 

Canelo is a small MW and Jacbos is a big MW

 

Canelo will be his usual cruiserweight self. Jacobs will be hurtin' from the rehydration clause.
