Canelo/Golovkin vs Daniel Jacobs?

WBA president said if no Canelo for Golovkin he will order Golovkin vs Jacobs for the sole WBA middleweight title. To clear up confusion Golovkin is the real WBA title holder the so called "super" champ while Jacobs is the "regular" champ. The WBA recently elected a new president the former WBA presidents son. He decided for the betterment of boxing the WBA get rid of "regular" titles and have only one WBA title just like the rest of 3 governing bodies of boxing (WBC, IBF, WBO). So he's ordered alot of fights between regular and super champs. He's also looking to stop doing unecessary interim title fights and only do it when necessary like the other 3 governing bodies. However in one scenario Canelo beats Golovkin he'll have the WBA title along with the IBF and WBC he'll be the one facing Jacobs who wins? Other scenario Golovkin beats canelo or doesn't get to fight him so he'll fight jacobs, who wins? Remember Jacobs got dropped by feather fisted sergio mora HARD.

    Daniel Jacobs has good talent and is a hard worker, but he needs to fight 4-5 times a year to develop quickly (in his prime). He has not been doing that.

    Because of this, he still has holes in his defense (one is that he freezes slightly or raises straight up after throwing a combination instead of either using lateral movement, changing levels, or taking an angular step backwards to avoid any counters). Pirog destroyed him by shifting and taking advantage of Jacob's stiff upper body reaction.

    That being said, I favor Jacobs over Canelo (although it might be a close fight) by UD.

    Golovkin is an even scarier monster than Pirog was. Golovkin TKO's either one of these fighters.

    Daniel Jacobs has a better chance against Canelo but a Golovkin vs Jacobs fight would be mighty interesting indeed; I think it would be a toss-up between who can hit his target first, and the very mobile Jacobs would have a slight edge there. I'd say that Jacobs, in MY estimation may have a 51% chance of beating Golovkin agains 49% chance of winning, while Canelo would have, perhaps, a 40% chance of winning against Jacobs; Canelo looked a bit awkward against fraud Floyd "Scaredy Cat" Mayweather Of course, this is my unscientific estimation.

    Golovkin beats Jacobs, Canelo beats GGG but loses to Jacobs.

    Golovkin would beat both of them IMO.

    He beats Canelo by decision and he stops Jacobs in eight. I don't see him losing because he's the best Super middleweight, and no one can take his power.

    I know that he been feasting on cans lately but the best in his division can get it too.
