    I'm not at all sold on him yet, but I'm still very interested to see where he goes.

    He seems to be on point...snipes the body and head.

    needs a big test.

    i am a fan of his,
    but i have been disappointed many times by fighters from brooklyn who wears HAVOC trunks.

    let's hope he has what it takes to go all the way.

    I think he's class, looking forward to him coming onto the main stage. There's a host of young Middleweights around the same level in development (as far as their careers go) , the next couple of years should be very exciting in the division.

    I like watching him fight and I think he's ready for the top guys.
    Ishi was a good test for him, 1-2 more like that and he should be fighting for a belt or a mandatory spot.

    i was almost sold with him until he struggled alot and faught a sloppy fight with on an HBO card against Ishe Smith. Well i think thats the guys name. Ishe Smith. Smith is not a bum or anything but i thought jacobs would be leagues ahead of this guy. Alfredo Angulo eats jacobs alive if you ask me.

    Ishe Smith is a capable fighter and very hard to look good against. Jacobs is the only fighter to beat him clearly, and even though he did get rocked along the way, I think it was a fairly solid performance considering the opponent.

    Danny is a decent fighter for sure and i wouldnt worry about him getting rocked during a fight especially when he clearly won it on points.
    He should fight a world ranked contender now maybe fight no.2 NABO ranked soon to be no. 1 Andy lee. Surely that would be an easy fight for jacobs.......

    The Juan Astorga fight was a step backwards. That guy is a Bum with a capital B

    Seems like a class guy and I'd like to see him do well. He appears to have all the tools, but we won't really know if he's got top-level talent until he steps in there with some of the other top guys, or at least starts facing other challengers that are currently about where he's at. I think the Smith fight was a good sign that he's maybe above the B level, because that's where I think Ishe is, and he won that fight pretty clearly, but he didn't look dominant, so we'll see if he progresses from there.

    Definetly one of the future middleweight top dogs. And according to emmanuel, the middleweight division is about to blow the **** up like no tomorrow.

    jacobs vs. Angulo would be great.
