Middleweight Daniel Jacobs is in that in-between place where many young fighters often find themselves. He has been around a bit too long -- he turned pro in 2007 and was ESPN.com's prospect of the year back in 2009 -- and has a bit too much experience to be called a prospect. But he also still lacks the signature victory that could allow him to honestly be called a contender.
