Lost so much respect for this guy.
Daniel Jacobs Frustrated He Isn’t a Bigger Star, Doesn’t Know Why - Boxing News
Jacobs is right on everything he has said. Hope he batters Mora who is lucky to get this shot.
The simple fact that Mora drew him in and countered him perfect for that knockdown, justifies a rematch for me if Jacobs isn't willing to step up and fight golovkin, or canelo, or any other person of name.
Also if Jacobs truly believes he would not be a superstar or at least on his way after beating or taking GGG the distance, because hes African American... I can't agree... This isn't hockey...
I give him credit for not resorting to a floyd type circus persona, but really ?!?!?! the whole boxing game is against a black fighter? just one? (crawford, spence, porter, thurman (half), brook (half), wilder have legions of fans against him... but everyones picking on Jacobs? If he said the worlds against him because hes not putting on a stupid act/ playing the game it would be more believable. Is it just possible that he's not that good and his mouth is faster than his hands. His studio performances do nothing for his Ring Rep... unfortunately neither does his Victory over the big C (though he deserves the utmost credit for it)... and he got flattened once... His only standout victories were Quillin (who was also called mediocre) and mora (disputed because of the injury)... But hes frustrated to know why he's not a superstar after turning down the opportunity to face Golovkin and shock the world. He's not even fighting that often.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
