It sounds crazy but Wlad had a long K.O streak before the Jenings fight then when he fought Fury, Wlad god outboxed. In case of Golovkin could the fight against Jacobs be a solid sign of declining and if GGG will fight Saunders, then he will get outboxed by Saunders and lose ? It could be a wrong parallel but who knows. Styles make fights.

Fury was a step up from Jennings, but Saunders is a step down from Jacobs. Fury also possessed a very unusual combination of size and awkwardness...

You could be right, but I hope you were wrong.

Or it could be a sign of an injury. Klit could also have chronic injuries at his age though.

Probably.

My theory could be wrong.

Me too.

I think Jacobs is a much tougher contender to deal with than Jennings for one thing. I don't think GGG has declined much if at all, Jacobs is just a solid contender that is capable of holding his own against any Middleweight and he held his own against the Middleweight King.

Give Jacobs credit, he's a legit contender. It doesn't always have to be "He's slipping" or whatever that a great champion has a tough night, sometimes the other guy is just that good that he gave him all he could handle. I tend to think that's the case here.

I look forward to seeing how both GGG and Jacobs look going forward.

Sure, and Mayweather Castillo was a sign of Floyd declining.

We will solve this enigma soon, very soon.

In time this win could be seen as better than it is right now. Jacobs impressed me. Nobody can knock every opponent out. I hope to see more of ggg at the top level I don't golden boy to win the waiting game

I could see Jacobs and Lemiuex dominating the mw division.
