By Dan Ambrose: WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (31-0, 22 KO’s) says he’d be interested in facing once beaten #3 WBC, #5 IBF, #5 WBO, #6 WBA Daniel Jacobs (27-1, 24 KO’s) for the right about of money. If Quillin doesn’t get the right price, he’ll face whoever his manager Al Haymon picks out for him. Quillin hasn’t had a good opponent yet in his three title defenses, and it would be an upgrade if Jacobs were to be Quillin’s next opponent, even though Jacobs was already exposed in a loss to Dmitry Pirog.
“I just take ’em as they come along,” Quillin said. “At one point I thought I was fighting Danny Jacobs in my last fight. If that’s the only big fight out there for me, we’ll fight as long as the price is right.”
