    GGG haters and Canelo fanboys overlap to me at this point.

    Canelo is clearly the more skilled fighter. Different styles but its clear Canelo is the more complete fighter.

    I thought Jacobs fought a great fight by using his superior hand speed and foot work to get the best of Golovkin in several exchanges, and he did well ducking under ggg's big looping hooks.

    With that said, we need to see how Canelo does against a bigger opponent so that we can better guess how he would do against bigger opponents.

    The Chavez will answer some questions.

    I think Canelo is the 'better fighter' but size matters and Im not sure hes good enough to overcome the size difference against someone as good as jacobs. Kinda weird but I think id honestly take Jacobs by ud or sd.

    Would be an awesome matchup tho. Wouldn't count canelo out. Would love to see it.

    Hell any matchup with dj canelo lemiuex eubank quillan and saunders would be awesome. Shame they probably wont happen.

    Jacobs showed he can use his height and reach to control distance by forcing ggg to come to him. Jacobs wins by decision as I think both are tough enough to take each other's punches and not get hit by the right bomb or too many and that's the norm when two good fighters get into the ring. People who expect different just dksab and setting themselves up for a disappointment. Just too much size and quickness for Canelo overall. For Canelo to win he'll have to throw many more punches and put on more pressure than he has.
