Gennady Golovkin vs. Daniel Jacobs

waiting for that fight

Its probably the next best fight since Kov/Ward. I'm hoping that GGG takes this one seriously and trains for Jacobs to be a threat as I feel hes been kind of sandbagging since Lemieux. He knew that Brook couldn't hurt him and kind of phoned it in and then said he did it for "big drama fight". As for Jacobs, I agree with Spicoli. Jacobs going to have to ambush GGG early like Quillin to really stand a chance. I also find it funny that Jacobs whined about how he wasn't getting enough money and then when he got more, spent it immediately on trying to build his dream team by hiring Algieri as a nutritionist (Stamina for the a sustained beating?) and Virgil Hunter as an assistant (presumably to help him "ward" GGG to the scorecards).

I was actually pulling for Jacobs to win at one time. Then his immediate attempt to sidestep a Mora rematch and him playing the race card as an excuse for him not being a star, selling out arenas and earning sky high stacks... all kind of soured me on him. So i'm looking for GGG to knock the diva out of Jacobs and make him that humble hardworking guy (that cheated death and beat cancer) again. I think he's got a decent shot at Canelo, if Golovkin doesn't ruin him.

GGG takes everyone seriously and always comes in fully prepared. He will not take Jacobs lightly.

I think Jacobs has a great shot to beat Canelo (unless, like you said, GGG ruins him). In my opinion, I think the only chance Jacobs has is if he uses his foot speed advantage to constantly turn GGG, forcing him to reset his feet. Basically, fight him the way Hop fought Tito: behind a sharp jab, constantly turning him in circles and landing an accumulation of punches vice looking to land a huge shot. Will still prove difficult, because GGG has a great jab, maintains perfect position, and is phenomenal at cutting the ring off, but will be his only hope in my opinion.
