I dare anyone to put their name next to saying GGG would have been heavier if not for the 2nd day weigh in. Go ahead, show your word means nothing

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Since everyone wants to rewrite what happened with no regard to truth here is what happened

How was GGG's performance against MUCH-SMALLER Canelo?
Why would I believe Jacobs fibbing for the second time when I didn't believe him the first. It's understandable that Jacobs fans don't believe Abel Sanchez on his weight but even victor Conte who Jacobs was working with, predicted he would weight between 178-180.
“I predict Danny will be between 178-180 when he steps into the ring. He was at 176 at 8 a.m. this morning. Don’t be surprised if Danny does very well this evening. He had a tremendous training camp on the west coast. He spent the last four weeks of his training camp at my SNAC training facility in San Carlos, California. He is in the best shape of his life. He will be huge tonight when he steps into the ring! Danny will be big, fast and powerful. We will soon see how this all plays out.”
Conte said he knew Friday night Jacobs would not be doing the morning of weight check, for the record.

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.

You're missing the point. GGG had less time to rehydrate completely because he had to remain within the restrictions of the IBF. Jacobs didn't and actually had much longer due to the earlier weigh in. If it was no big deal, then why didn't Jacob's do the 2nd day weigh in? And why would the IBF then amend this rule to eliminate any handicaps?
Answer: Because it gave Jacob's an unfair advantage in between the weigh in and the fight. No one is saying he cheated (well I'm not) but he definitely benefited from not having to be restricted by a weigh in the next day.
I'm not sure how many have had to cut weight, but it can be a b-tch, even for someone who makes 'comfortably' it ain't that comfortable. Then you know you still have to have restrictions on your intake for the next day, while your opponent is free to have a few meals and rehydrate completely.

Jacob's definitely benefit by not having to do the way in the next day.
Based on last 3 of 4 fights yes. Canelo and Jacobs are arguably the best competition head and shoulders over previous opponents of last "TEN" years. Canelo made the move up to 160 at only 5' 8". Of course GGG should be able to jab the smaller man to death but he threw fewer power punches and got slightly battered by a smaller man whose manhood he challenged to fight Mexican Style. This may have been forgotten but for some reason GGG decided to be vocal leading up to the fight and probably cost himself the decision based on perception and lack of ring generalship. He surrendered ground to the smaller Canelo throughout most the rounds. No pity for GGG he fought the wrong fight and vowed he would not allow the decision to be in the judges hands and decides to jab throughout the fight. Summary : "STUPIDITY" , LOST HIS WITS AND BELTS.

You aren’t by any chance the same guy as “Taeth” who used to post here are you?
