    Calling it like you see it? And calling me a keyboard warrior out of the blue? This is why you little kids are so easy to retort. You just say whatever pops into your heads without thinking.

    Look, I have nothing against you to be honest. If this got out of hand, and I had a part, then my bad.

    i don't think there is anyway to know, until he fights again. he destroyed Quillin, who many thought highly of. now he hung tight with Golovkin. i say he is better than given credit for.

    Considering Jacobs size, conditioning, and boxing ability, I think he could have given any middleweight a tough fight regardless of age. Whether he would have beaten them is another story.

    The truth is that all the greats had tough fights where they had some trouble. Even my favorite middleweight of all time, Marvin Hagler, had his share of fights where he didn't look his best. He had to avenge losses to Bobby Watts and Willie Monroe for crying out loud.

    It's easy to look at someone's highlight reel and say, "Oh, he's a beast". It's when the going gets tough that these guys prove the caliber of their greatness. Jacobs made it tough for GGG, but he prevailed, and that is what the record will forever show.

    I don't think Jacobs did such a great job in the fight there were times he had Jacobs in a corner and just didn't or couldn't pull the trigger. I don't know if it was Jacobs size and power or ggg beginning to slip. I hope he's not on the decline too much that he can't give Canelo his long overdue beating that he and Oscar deserve
