Comments Thread For: Jacobs Curious to Feel Gennady Golovkin's Renowned Power

you wanna be just like me, don't ya Lou ?

One of the dumbest things I've ever heard a boxer say. After one clean punch he's going to end up like Clottey did against Pacquiao if not worse, like Hatton.

their chins aren't.

That's true, however I think it shouldn't be overlooked the fact that Jacobs hits just as hard. Nobody talks about it the same way and Jacobs blasting of Kid Chocolate is no joke. Chocolate is probably better than GGG's entire resume.

Stop the bull crap moron in no way or shape does Jacob even come close to punching as hard as ggg. Kid chocolate always had a suspect chin, it was a matter of who landed first in that fight and it happened to be Jacob who landed first. Kid chocolate is a joke and a bum no different than Jacob and after ggg destroys jacob, ggg resume still going to suck until he moves up in weight

pirog's realy not a big puncher. jacobs chin is just........

He packed a pretty good shot. 75% ko but Jacobs getting dropped by Mora does lend some credence to the speculation around Jacobs chin. I still say Triple G will have to break him down over several rounds to get him out of there. Jacob is riding a 12 fight KO streak. I think he's coming to split Triple G's wig. He has a shot I'm certainly not counting out his chance. He is a monster in the first 3 rounds the likes of which Golovkin has never seen.

Isn't Jacob's KO% identical to GGG?

Yeah Golovkin could very well get rag tagged in this fight

GGG's best way to salvage an ATG resumé at his advanced age when everyone has ducked him so long.

1. Jacobs in March. Canelo beats Saunders in February for WBO belt.
2. Froch in June.
3. Canelo in September to completely unify 160

Now the next step is key:

4. Jack/Degale winner in December for two 168 belts.
5. Gilberto Ramirez for third 168 belt in march 2018.
6. Fourth belt at 168 in June to completely unify 168.

GGG will be 36 by then, probably be slightly past his prime, but may still have 1 or 2 years left at a high level. For those remaining years, after completely unifying 160 and 168, GGG could just take the biggest fights regardless of weight. Kovalev, Ward, etc etc.

That way GGG builds the foundation. Completely unify 160. Break title defense records. That's already great. Then unify 168 within a year, that will put him way up there, and no matter what happens after that, he will have a great legacy. And then from that foundation, he can just swing for the fences and go for a true top 10 all time resume, by seeing if he can beat 35 pound bigger guys at the age of 36, 37.

That's what I hope we see, in whatever order. Hopefully now that GGG is getting old, and especially if he beats Canelo, the guys at 168 will finally want to fight him. And then from there I hope he fights 4x a year the rest of his career and just goes up the ladder. From the best guys at 168 to the best guys at 175, maybe at a 170 catch weight for Ward, 173 for Kovalev because unlike Ward he's never made 168, etc etc. And just see how far GGG can take it. But I don't think people will give him full credit until he completely unifies 160 and beats a top guy at 168.

But, if he can get Degale/Jack winner, that guy will already have half the belts, so after that, why not just take it all the way? How many guys have completely unified 160 and 168? Degale/Jack winner gets you two belts, then Arum has already said Gilberto will fight GGG next year or after, so that's three belts you can get over a three month period. I think GGG will get a ton of credit if he doesn't just unify 160, but unifies 168 too.

Cancer couldn't knock Jacobs out..and y'all think Golovkin could? y'all some damn fools, Danny is gonna shock the world just like Cassius Clay.

Where the hell is Natas? Haven't seen him commenting on this fight yet.

Jacobs is Jacobs, not Canelita. I give respect to the guy regardless of whether he wins or loses against GGG. He is a fighter who does not run away even from the greatest challenges. Best wishes to both of them, and let no one get hurt too bad in the fight.
