is arguably the 2nd best middleweight in the division. Over 6'0, competent boxer with power. I don't think Jacobs is getting enough credit for his performance. The last 3 Alvarez opponents were non competitive confidence builders. I am actually a fan of Alvarez and remember the several risk he took early in his career. He did not have to fight guys like Lara and Trout when he fought them. I think Golden Boy realized they had shielded him as long as they could and the time is now. Getting knocked out by the most dominant middleweight since Hopkins is not disgraceful. It will be interesting to see where he goes after that. Do they put him in with guys like Danny Jacobs or even Charlo or Lemieux? It's some lions at 154 too.
