Danny Jacobs: “I have more range than GGG”

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Danny Jacobs will put their world middleweight titles on the line in a May 4 unification bout. Canelo (51-1-2, 35 knockouts) said in a statement the fight against Jacobs will leave him one step closer to becoming the undisputed king of the middleweight division. However, Jacobs (35-2, 29 KOs) says he might knock out Alvarez. "Let's hope the judges are fair. I'm definitely one of the strongest opponents Canelo has faced. 'GGG' is not as fast as me. I am taller, I have more range, and I think I'll win, I'll use my best attributes, and I'll win by decision or even by knockout," Jacobs told Fighthype.com. "I am a completely different athlete, I am multifaceted, I do not have to study what Golovkin did (against Canelo), it is not new for me to achieve the impossible, I won the opportunity and I am proud, my legacy is at stake."
