See this is where you're not factoring in.

Jacobs is seen as a; higher level of opposition, someone with a better resume, and it would be a 'bigger' fight.

You know this, IDK why you're trying to argue semantics.

Lemiuex is known as the guy who lost to Rubio and Alcine, then won a belt in a fight that wasn't televised. Jacobs is a better opponent, who would add much more to triple G's resume than Lemieux, that's why he deserves something comparable to the 43/57 split IMO.

But you know all this already breh.

Jacobs is 1 loss away from being "that guy Pirog destroyed already".


I hold no faith in Jacobs....he's nothing but a B fighter as well with a weak chin imo. GGG is going to destroy him and Im sure you wont be propping up GGG's resume after he has Jacobs name on it.


GGG needs to move up.

I thought they were tryna build it first or arum wouldn't work with haymon.

now if troy don't want it then Crawford needs to fight felix or orozoco.

but I still want those belts to become first undisputed since zab in 06. :lolbron:that would be tight unless he moves up to 147.

but who at 147 would be impressive that arum could work with?:yeshrug:

plus team craw said they dream fights are either one the Garcia's.(I guess they figure they could get some rican/mexi fans/attention from that more than anyone else)

Crawford vs Swift, Crawford vs Thurman, Crawford vs Porter, Crawford vs Spence....all of them would be impressive fights.

@LauderdaleBoss lol u made me think of Oscar when was talkin bout fighting leading to other fights.

I remember sweet pea was fighting Hurtado and Oscar was shook :sadcam:cause it didn't look like pea was gonna win at first and that mess up their big fight.

plus when Oscar fought felix sturm and Hopkins was shook :lupe:in the back cause he thought oscar was bout to lose and mess up their big fight next.

we don't see stuff like that too much anymore....unless im forgetting shyt.:mjlol:

he should but Jennings been fighting crazy tough fights back to back. klits, then Ortiz then josh....I think needs to take some time with easy fights and get some confidence back maybe:whoa:


edit : seen where he said "the top guys are tune ups" yeah he ducking josh.

Yep. If he wouldn't have said that, plus the "still in shape" thing, I wouldn't feel like he's on his :whoa::why: stuff when it comes to a title shot vs Joshua.

Nah I think that Jacobs would be a nice W for triple G, definitely his best W thus far. I agree triple G should move up to take on tougher challenges, but odds are that won't happen until after Canelo.
