Is Daniel Jacobs a worthy opponent for Golovkin ?
What do you think about him as a potential challenger ? He is powerful, but is his chin soft ? I had watched his fight against Pirong a long time ago, and rewatched a month ago. Still, I can not decide wheter he is a proper rival for GGG.

Yes, he is absolutely a worthy opponent. I don't think he'll win, but he deserves the shot for sure.

He is as good as it gets at MW if you exclude Golovkin.

Is by far the only in the category who seems to have guts for it, he surely deserves the shot. He has heart and seems not much fear of anybody.
Re: Is Daniel Jacobs a worthy opponent for Golovkin ?
Yes. He'll get stopped whenever GGG wants. But given the division it's still a yes.

He is GGG's mandatory challenger for the WBA title.ValMar wrote:What do you think about him as a potential challenger ? He is powerful, but is his chin soft ?

Time for Jacobs to step up and take his beating or pull off one of the biggest upsets in the sport.

Did Kovalev the Unified Light Heavyweight Champ cop $2 million to fight Ward who by the way was reportedly payed $5 Million when he was the Challenger then we see what team Jacobs are demanding more money to Challenge the uncrowned undisputed best Middleweight on planet earth he should just keep defending his pretend world title 
Re: Is Daniel Jacobs a worthy opponent for Golovkin ?
CEJ would need a couple of fights (wins) above domestic level, Saunders to an extent too, not that any of them have a chance of beating Golovkin anytime soon.ValMar wrote:Saunders wouldn't agree with you, CEJ too.GPTM1403 wrote:Next best in the division right now so they have to fight at some point soon
