So when GGG beats Jacobs...

Before: GGG ducking Jacobs

After: Jacobs was a bum that was ruined by Pirog

 

Yes, but not as much. That's what resumes do for fighters; they add or subtract kudos fight-by-fight, year-on-year. GGG's fairly tepid fight record won't be rectified by a victory over Jacobs, but it will be enhanced. Unless the vanquished fighter is pound-4-pound level, one fight cannot define the career of a fighter wanting to be considered great.

 

I'm not a Golovkin detractor, but I don't rate Jacobs so this won't change anything for me. Jacobs himself may change my opinion by either doing well in this fight or doing well in his fights afterwards but I don't see it happening.

 

He'll be another bum. As per.... That's how it works.

Jacobs, Lemieux, Murray, Brook.. Bums.

 

You misunderstood my post entirely. I like Golovkin, I think he's the best middleweight out there. I think he beats all of those guys you just mentioned. I don't rate Jacobs, I think he matches evenly with or loses to the guys you mentioned. Therefore, beating Jacobs doesn't elevate Golovkin's status to me because I don't think Jacobs is that good. To me he is a guy that has only fought 2 decent opponents ever, one of which he lost to.

 

Its still going to happen regardless of the result.

Triple G is not going to receive credit.

Deal with it LOL

When a certain fighter has a massive amount of haters.

They will dismiss and look for any kind of holes in thier recent accomplishments .

They are here to diminish , not to praise.

 

Is he though? Is he? Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with Jacobs, but I'm not seeing it. I'll rewatch his fight against Quillin. I remember when I first saw it I thought it was stopped too early so I didn't really consider it much, but I never saw it again so I could be remembering the fight wrong entirely.

 

Of course the puerile 'Bumlovkin'/'Little G' crowd won't give him the credit he deserves. Who cares about them anyway? They're beyond reason. No sensible person doubts that Jacobs is a top middleweight.

 

If this fight signed yet or what? I'd have to agree with the guy that said "slight bump but not by much". Jacbos is probably a B level guy. But its probably the best fight for Golovkin at 160 sans Canelo. So I'd be happy about it and call it a step in the right direction for Golovkin.
