Once again GGG manages to get his massage across without using virtually any verbs.
"This big fight, two champions, unification right now, serious busyness guys."
He missed the check weigh in, IBF title not at stake now. He'll be way over in the ring tonight.rab wrote:jacobs looked very, very dry at the weigh in. he is a big guy for the weight . he seems to need a bit of wind up on his biggest punches whereas golovkin has power no matter where he throws the shots from. i really hope it goes at least half way as i have been looking forward to this fight since it was announced. can't see anything other than a golovkin stoppage .
Maximum time to rehydrate benefits the larger man (Jacobs) more, I'm sure, seeing as he has missed the check weight especially, so I think you're on the wrong lines suggesting the long lead-in time after the weigh in is something to do with GGG's star power.MightyWarrior wrote:Yes very early, and surely that would have been at the request of the main man, GGG, who wants the maximum time to rehydrate and put on weight...because if Jacobs had requested that, I'm sure he would've been told to get to f***k
So we have a subplot already, Jacobs trying to maximise his size advantage.

Hagler will still have a better record of opponents. I'm a big fan of Golovkins and it's not his fault the quality isn't there to challenge him.but for me Hagler is still the benchmark. Would have been a hell of a scrap between them tho.TheLeprechaun wrote:Want to see golovkins chin tested tonight. If he absorbs Jacobs best and blasts him out, we have to start looking at GGG as possibly the best at 160 in history.
I love Hagler but he's never really had a truly great win against a bona fide MW, some good ones mindsamwbr wrote:Hagler will still have a better record of opponents.

It was because the company fight was in the same building. Conlan fight, god I hate autocorrect.MightyWarrior wrote:Yes very early, and surely that would have been at the request of the main man, GGG, who wants the maximum time to rehydrate and put on weight...because if Jacobs had requested that, I'm sure he would've been told to get to f***k

Yeah he was a beast, i think maybe there wasn't any other elite MWs at the time to test him, i thought Leonard deserved the win against him, he struggled with Duran at times too but won deservedly won, he faded against Antuofermo in their 1st fight and although i haven't seen the Mugabi fight yet didn't he struggle with before pulling out an excellent KO?jamesmcdonnell wrote:Never seen anybody deal with his opponents with such ease.
