    Youtube is stupid. I don't think they watch fights at all in general and just like to troll and spout off misinformed opinions. The comments range from stupid to racist and the videos range from agenda driven to idiotic.

    I'm not big on Eubank Jr and I don't think he is going to go far as long as he lets his father manage everything. According to promoters the man is toxic and that will really hinder his career.

    I also don't think a lot of the guys at 154 are elite level. Andrade has impressed me the most, but he doesn't fight enough. I'd love to see him be more active. My whole 154 vs 160 comparison is more like "If the top guys at 154 came to 160 I don't think they would dominate the division".

    I just want to see the guys at 154 fight one another and let the cream rise to the top. There are tons of good fights to be made there if they would just start fighting each other.
    Williams Vs Canelo/Andrade/Jermell/Lara/Cotto
    Andrade Vs Canelo/Jermall/Lara/Jermell
    Canelo Vs Jermall

    All great fights.
    They are going to have to unify soon or later. I hope sooner.
    I wish they'd make them happen.

    I agree. I like the idea of Canelo and Jermall Charlo moving up since they are so big for the 154 division. Having size is good for power and punch resistance, but after a certain point it just becomes detrimental to you and is hazardous to your health. I've been saying for awhile that we're going to see Jermall and Canelo at their best once they come to 160. Jermall could probably fight at 168 if he wanted to, honestly.

    Best fight at 160 for sure. Very predictable outcome though.
    85/15 to 90/10 kinda fight imo, but the best challenge to the MW king the US can deliver at the moment obviously.

    I believe it would be spectacular as well, but don't expect it to be an all out brawl. It wouldn't be wise from either side if they did just duke it out.

    I actually want Canelo to stay at 154.
    There are much better fights for Canelo at 154 than 160.
    I'd like to see Canelo Vs Andrade and feel that Andrade will give Canelo fits with his movement, counter-punching and angles. I can see Andrade taking a decision.
    Then, as you said, Canelo Vs Jermall would be a great fight and Canelo Vs Williams as well. Those straight right hands Williams shot and landed on Jermall would land all night on Canelo, but Williams would need to be perfect or he'd probably end up in another KO reel.
    At 160, after Golovkin, I don't see many other big fights for Canelo in that division unless Jacob gives a good showing in his upcoming fight.

    Too big for 154. The entire reason he made the silly 155 catchweights is because he missed weight at 155. It's silly to me though since it just one pound. The most interesting thing about the Liam Smith fight was to see if he could still make 154 and how he would look there, lol. I would also like to see Canelo vs Andrade but as long as Andrade is at 154 I don't see it happening. Well, I suppose he could just move up or fight Canelo at a catchweight. What I really want to see is if Williams can rebound well from getting stopped by Charlo like that.

    I think 160 is going to pick up soon. Khytrov seems to be a good potential talent. We'll see in 2017-2018 once he gets better opponents. Same for Drevenchenko(sp). I don't think we'll ever see one of them vs Golovkin since I expect him to move on to 168 by the time the matchup would make sense, but I suspect they will have good fights with each other. Curtis Stevens vs Lemieux is a good fight that I expect to get made in 2017 since we were close to it in 2016 and Stevens really wants that fight. Korobov seems willing to take his career into a new direction. His loss to Lee hampered him, but it honestly isn't that bad of a loss to the point where he can't rebound from it.

    If you think this is a 50/50 fight you better have all your savings on 8/1 underdog Jacobs.

    I know Golovokin has solid chin but this fight is similar matchup to Hearns vs Barkley the upset of the year 1988.
    Barkley was huge underdog and won. All depends how committed Jacobs is.

    How? Golovkin isn't chinny like Hearns... if anything, Jacobs is the poor man's Hearns here in this bout, with Golovkin taking on the role of Hagler.

    And yet, a while back everybody was accusing GGG of dodging Quillin :risas3: My, my, how times have changed.

    BF24 haters remain the same. The moment Golovkin beats a guy, that guy automatically becomes a bum.

    If he ever beats the brakes of Canelo, watch El Pollo's fans throw him overboard :sisi1

    I said Golovokin has solid chin. GGG is Hearns with chin and Jacobs is Barkely. I think GGG
    will win but Jacob's has a punchers chance. Hope i have cleared up any misconceptions.
