    Interesting to see. I personally thought GGG/Canelo was a bit closer than some of you do, but had GGG by 2 rounds after rewatching. I thought Jacobs deserved at least a draw if not the win by a round or two.

    Canelo landed more powerful shots than Jacobs and was better on the inside Jacobs used his longer reach more.

    I give 3 rds to Canelo.
    I had Jacobs up by 1. I'm not giving credit to Jacobs fully for the win though because he clearly outweighed GGG by 10lbs+ on fight night.

    Chavez had about 20 lbs + on Martinez when he lost that fight by shut out. Nobody cried like the GGG fanboys about how big Chavez was . :crybaby2:

    Jacobs without a doubt. GGG could have lost that one and there wouldn't have been the massive outcry from the public that we saw with the GGG/Alvarez draw. It would be split down the middle as to who won. A lot of people thought Daniel won that fight.....very few thought Alvarez deserved to win or agreed with the draw

    Jacobs 114-114 would be ok there vs Canelo Golovkin was robbed

    That's because JR is ****. He could have come in weighing 50lbs more than Sergio and still lost like that. Those extra 10lbs add durability, and when facing a puncher like GGG of course its going to matter. Jacobs throws a lot more than JR as well, and 10lbs extra makes a hell of a lot of difference when trying to keep GGG of you. Just ask RG about weight.

    I thought Jacobs made GGG look a lot more uncomfortable than Canelo did. He was able to move around well, looked pretty slick and didn't let GGG tee off on him for 2:30 minutes of every round like Canelo did, even though I still had him losing the fight. It was tougher to score to me than the Canelo fight.

    He did, being that tall and rangy it was tough for GGG to get inside, although his jab did really zero in later in the fight and open opportunities for him. I think Jacobs would beat Canelo at the moment.

    "Jacobs weighed 10 pounds more than GGG, so I don't count that fight!!"

    East Side Boxing / Boxing Forum 24..... Nothing surprises me anymore.

    Jacobs was a couple points closer to GGG on my card.

    Don't thin either was really better than the other versus 3G. Both came up short in close fights. H2H, I think Jacobs could defeat Canelo. He'll use his size well.
