So if Jacobs is a bum, then that means Quillin was a straight career mode jobber then.

Gotcha

but nikkas said that win, made Jacobs the 2nd best in the division.

160 is ass. The 2nd fighter there is prolly that p*ssy bjs. And Peter would have lost to gabs imo if not for the eye. Gabe was out boxing him in the middle to late rounds. Peter is trash to me too

Jacobs aint a bum, but he's surely not nearly an "elite" fighter.

Him and Billy Joe Saunders are battling it out for who's the 2nd best MW in the game today (I don't count Canelo until he faces a MW, even though he's the Lineal Champion), which speaks to the level of opposition currently flooding MW.

GGG is an A fighter. Jacobs will be easy work for him....he probably last fewer rounds than Kell Brook did.

That bjs jacobs fight was supposed to happen

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

@GREENandYELLOW

is there any testing for ggg/Jacobs?

ive heard Jacobs aint doing any testing vada cause he not ranked in top 15 in wbc rankings....

@LeVraiPapi knows more. He was saying they couldn't agree. He said one wanted notice before test were done and the other didn't want to pay for it.

That said, if you have a belt or want to be ranked by the WBC you have to VADA enrolled and GGG is. From what I have read Jacobs isn't VADA enrolled.

And BJS turned down facing Rosado on the Canelo-Smith undercard.

Jacobs is currently in training camp for this fight....I found some pictures of how it's going:

Looks like everything's going well for him in camp with VADA out the picture

Jacobs is a good fighter but yeah not elite.
If Golovkin beats him he will be his best win imo...

The thing is though mw has plety of up and coming talents/prospects right now but they are still only in that status, so yeah as of right now it's still a trash division like it is for some years now...

To me, I break down elite fighters in 2 ways.

Elite for their division

and

Elite in the sport.

Some guys are both, while others are just elite for their division.

GGG is elite in the sport and in his division, whereas Jacobs is just elite for his division. For example, Jacobs would prolly be favored over anybody that isn't top 3 in his division

Where he would rank in a stronger weightclass P4P wise? Like welter, lhw or super feather...
I think probably around 7-10

agreed

Jacobs would only be elite at 160.

Put his ass in welter or lightweight and he's bottom half of the top ten.

Elite for the division means you're in the top 3 to me.

Thurman vs Swift is 2 elite welters facing off for example.

I think Jacobs has the physical/athletic tools, but I think his chin is going to be his undoing against anyone with power....unless he catches you first, because he has top notch power as well. He's an enigma, because he can be easily overrated and easily underrated as well.

I don't know how good Jacobs is until Haymon lets him fight other top notch opponents. Him losing to GGG is pretty much a given for me, but, I would like to see how he fares vs everyone else.

He got Quillin out of there with the quickness...Lee got a draw with Quillin. But yet, he was dropped by Mora, and KOd by Pirog. Enigma bc the skill/talent is there.

so Chavez is a cheater. I heard andy lee complaining about it in his loss.

says shyt was mad fishy ........... any truth to it?

Manny Stewart was insinuating Jr was on something for the that fight too
