    He's trying to tell me Jacobs and GGG are the same size or both average sized middles. GGG is average for middle, Jacobs imo is a big middle, he's huge next to SD his next opponent

    He used to dry out bad to make 160, its imo what caused his injury. 168 should've been his minimum

    He was big, but his head was absolutely huge giving the impression he was even bigger than he was

    He was cautious against Canelo for large parts but was still caught flush.

    Kelly Pavlik would definitely have caught him flush.

    No , Jacobs only looks taller. Sergiy is 5'9 .

    Who looks bigger there^

    The fight showed tiny Kurtside was the more physically imposing man.

    It depends what your criteria is.

    You've got: Height, reach, frame and fight night weight.

    In my opinion, GG isn't a big MW. He's 5'10 with a 70" reach, and he hasn't got a huge frame with a high fight night weight.

    To me, Jacobs is a big MW in terms of frame and fight night weight. He's thickset and strong. But if you're looking at things in terms of height and reach, then I can see why Dino thinks he's only an average MW.

    Personally, I would class guys like Pavlik and Hopkins as being big MW's, with a guy like Gerald as being a huge MW.

    Pavlik dropped and badly hurt by an innocuous little love tap from a 9-11-3 vagrant and that was when Pavlik still had a full head of hair and therefore was obviously much more formidable than the egghead version of later years.

    Lot of good points made in this thread and cases for both guys. It's a toss up.

    Golovkin UD or busts up Pavlik enough to force a stoppage very late on.
