Jermell Charlo can’t see any reason why he should even consider a rematch with Erickson Lubin.

Charlo needed just one short, right hand to knock out Lubin late in the first round of their mandated fight for Charlo’s WBC super welterweight title in October 2017. Charlo’s perfectly placed punch brought a sudden, stunning conclusion to their scheduled 12-round championship match 2½ years ago, but Lubin has won each of his four fights since Charlo knocked him out at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Houston’s Charlo (33-1, 17 KOs), who has since lost his WBC 154-pound title to Tony Harrison and regained it from him, has taken notice of what Lubin (22-1, 16 KOs) has accomplished since they fought. While he isn’t interested in a rematch, Charlo commended Lubin during the newest episode of “The PBC Podcast,” which premiered Wednesday on premierboxingchampions.com.

“Lubin will win a world title,” Charlo told co-hosts Kenneth Bouhairie and Michael Rosenthal. “Lubin will knock out a lot of motherf--kers if he put his mind to it. Just leave me the f--k alone. I’m different. But I see him.”

Lubin has climbed back into the number one spot in the WBC’s 154-pound ratings, thus Charlo could be ordered to fight him again at some point.

Lubin, of Orlando, Florida, stopped journeyman Silverio Ortiz, former IBF junior middleweight champ Ishe Smith and veteran Zakaria Attou in three straight bouts before Nathaniel Gallimore took him the distance in Lubin’s last fight. The left-handed Lubin won nine of 10 rounds against Gallimore on all three scorecards and beat him by unanimous decision October 26 at Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Charlo understandably is more interested in a title unification fight against Jeison Rosario. The Dominican Republic’s Rosario (20-1-1, 14 KOs) upset Julian Williams by fifth-round technical knockout to win the IBF, IBO and WBA titles from Williams (27-2-1, 16 KOs) on January 18 in Philadelphia, Williams’ hometown.

“I haven’t thought about no rematch with Lubin because I have moved on,” Charlo said. “It’s a lot of fighters in the way. Why would I even think in my mind to go backwards? I don’t wanna fight Harrison again. I don’t wanna fight Lubin again. I don’t wanna fight none of them motherf--kers I went through. I wanna see if I can prove that I’m really the top dog. I wanna know myself.”
