    Real tough fight for Canelo
    Almost unfair
    6ft1 Jacobs with 74 inch reach fighting southpaw

    It is a very tough stylistic matchup for Canelo, however I do wonder Jacobs can repeat or improve upon his level Vs GGG

    I'll still take Jacobs.

    Golovkin tamed him with his jab.

    Canelo doesn't have a jab like that. Canelo has good defence, but Jacobs fights like he does -ie- he flurries and moves. Canelo is going to have a hard time mixing it up with Jacobs. But he pretty much has to. In that case I take the guy with the power, the reach and the better gas tank: Jacobs.

    One thing that was clearn to me last night was that Jacobs is grossy underrated(I may have been guilty of it as well). Because however you scored either of the fights, Golovkin looked better against Nelo than he did against Danny.

    It's a close fight.. Because Jacobs doesn't fight like he's 6'1. Canelo by robbery in this one too lol

    I still maintain that Jacobs could beat Canelo easier than Golovkin, I said that way back. Jacobs has the tools and youth for it.

    Right... sure except given GGG's star power and name saved him from a complete robbery. How's Jacobs going to not get completely robbed?

    I'm one of the few that thinks Canelo would knock him out.

    Hell man, I'm looking at it from a boxing perspective. Jacobs size, movement, speed, and switch hitting power will absolutely befuddle Canelo. It would be like fighting a giant Lara that can knock you out.

    But it seems to be the case that nobody can get a fair decision against Canelo. Mayweather couldn't even get one and he was the biggest earner around.
