Daniel Jacobs- Underrated!

[ykdadamaja]

Jacobs, I feel, is a handful for ANYONE between Jr. Welter who wants to step up and Super Middle. I don't think they wanna chance it with him- GGG in a rematch, maybe. But, Degale, Charlo Bros., Ramirez, Saunders, Eubank Jr., Groves... They had best to stay away if they aren't gonna get paid well into the millions if they face him.

Thoughts?

I feel for the guy really. I felt he beat GGG, and I'm no fanboy, I've always respected and rated Golovkin.
Now he's Mr. Who needs him!

Jacobs is the new GGG, no one's wants to fight him too many Ch risk for little reward. I also think Jacobs will price himself out of decent fights he would have taken on.

I underrated Jacobs before the GGG win. Can't underrate him now.

I think he beat GGG as well, rewatched that recently. It's one of the things that's always pissed me off about boxing; everyone knows judges can be out to lunch, yet the way they rule a fight is still used in many cases to cement the verdict people wanted ahead of time. They gave it to GGG so everyone points to what he did well and looks for subtle things he may have had going in his favour, but I can't for the life of me find 6-7 rounds he won. If the judges had gone the other way and given it to Jacobs, would ANYONE have argued it was a bad decision? I doubt it, and it would have dramatically altered the way people talked about it afterward, without having a damn thing to do with what actually happened in the fight. Not saying for a second it wasn't close-ish and very competitive, I just think people who have watched enough boxing should know better

I agree, I think Jacobs did enough to take a decision. I was really surprised by how low GGG's output was and how he almost seemed gassed at times. Jacobs did a bit of the old Jeff Horn there really. GGG should be able to hurt Canelo, but if he doesn't have the output to follow up and finish the job it could be another long night. I saw an interview with GGG recently and he doesn't look as baby faced anymore, he is looking older. Maybe he knows it with suggestions of retiring after the Canelo fight.

I'm disappointed Jacobs hasn't come back already and at least stayed busy to keep his name fresh. I wouldn't want him to become a once a year fighter making excuses not to fight unless it's the big money fights. He is relatively young and has some fights in him yet. I hope.
