Chavez isn’t that big of a puncher. He was always just way way heavier than his opponents and used diuretics to get down to the weight to have about a 30 pound weight advantage. We saw that when he fought Fonfara (who wasn’t really that good), he got beat up very badly.
I'm not trying to sell him as one, just saying that he is dangerous enough. Jacobs could be on the slide and has been hot and cold before, I kind of see this as a lose lose for him career wise.

Lose-lose is right though, p4p. Jacobs wins... he's beaten a long irrelevant fighter and proves basically nothing. Jacobs loses... and he drops some serious notches on the totem pole. All Junior has is the puncher's chance. Memories of Junior vs Sergio where Martinez was pitching a perfect game and Junior almost pulled it off with a lucky punch toward the end.
