With the fight pretty much set, what dos you guys think about this?
I think a better fight might been up against willie monroe at this point......
Charlo and Andrade is prolly the toughest match up for him.....
I think lotsa guys look bad ass vs his opposition. There are huge jumps up in class from the guys he's fighting to top 20 guys to top 10 guys to top 3 title holder type guys. He's going from a couple top 30ish guys to a guy who you could argue is the #1 guy in a disputed division since Lara (who I consider #1) has been fighting so many garbage opponents.
Fair enough solid post....i respect that.
hopkins had a nephew that thought at welter he fought kendall holt when holt was champion and lost and after couple of loses he moved up to light middle am sure this charlo fought him
His name is Demetrius Hopkins...might wanna fact check boxrec bro. Just saying
This.
I mean he ultimately tells us if he is or not cuz we've seen plenty of guys moved into bigger fights like this & win, but it feels this is too big of a jump up in class to me. Personally I like to see a guy knock down a top 20ish guy or two at least before a title shot against a top 3 guy. And in particular when they are promising guys I don't even expect them to get a title shot unless they are bad ass & I don't feel like Lubin's proven himself to be THAT bad ass while still a top prospect.
That said more guys should be fighting the best guys they can fight so even if Lubin isn't ready an L is a great learning experience for a young fighter & its not even close to being the end of the road many fans love to make it out to be.
He's been pretty badass as a prospect IMO.....lol what hasn't he done considering the opposition, they have all been beaten up and stopped......
Man I'm not gonna even answer the last part until you really get some boxing knowledge. C'mon man. Age wise I hope you r talking about his daddy the Hawk. Lol

right now in boxing been a champ doesnt make you good never rated charlo lost every round against jackson till he landed a lucky punch and jackson isnt all that good and i could be wrong but didnt he get outboxed by hopkins who was on the slide but hopkins got robbed or it could have been the other charlo

The Jackson fight was bad, but lets not act like Jackson is some bum here. He was beating Andy Lee also until Lee KO'd him. Jackson can box he just doesn't have a chin.
And D-Hop did not out box Charlo. It was a boring match I do remember tho. That was also like 5 years ago.
Charlo is the champ, how is he not that good?

havnt seen that much of lubin but what ave seen his ok but this charlo is not that good i will always be picking against that charlo
Charlo is the champ, how is he not that good?
yeah i agree top 3 no doubt if he wins...........and if he beats lara or andrade he's top ten #pfp no doubt........
do any of you guys think he could beat all three wow.....that would be something.....
If he beats Charlo, of course he can beat the other two.
The kid got this, I like how he knows how to skip the jab where that's one of the first things you'll need to know when your facing a Charlo since they like to jab a lot to set up their other combos!
I picked with my heart when I picked wasn't ready but my head says he is!
I just believe there's an extra gear that he has yet to show!
Also with Charlo now sitting on his punches it will leave more openings for "The Crane Styled" puncher!
I also like the kids timing, he just seems to know when to throw a precise shot!
Gonna be a good FIGHT, I think Lubin stops Charlo late!
If Lubin wins, he's one of the top 3 guys at 154 considering the top 3 are Lara, Charlo and Andrade.

Meant to say wiile nelson......all so tanks title shot was against padraza, lol charlo is is LEVELs above padraza in skill and power.....if lubin wins this HE IS THE REAL DEAL PERIOD.

Monroe isn't even in the same weight class. I don't see what's wrong with a young guy seeing if he's got it or not. Tank got a title at 21 Lublin can prove himself too

Well the answer is simple, we won't know own until he steps in the ring with him. I would like Lubin to get more seasoning but he feels supremely confident about coming out on top so it's sink or swim time for him.
