Jermell Charlo vs. Terence Crawford

Before you go breaking your arm patting yourself on the back. You are hardly an objective person. It’s just that simple. You never have given a straight answer, what’s the root of your anti Charlo agenda? I don't have one lol. I thought Jermall beat Korobov 7-5 or maybe it was 6-6. His win over JRock was a great KO and the win looks somewhat more impressive over time, especially with JRock beating Hurd. He is a very explosive dangerous athlete, but his boxing skills are not top quality. He had a close fight with Dervy in my view, that was 6-6 or 7-5 to Dervy. No shame in that. Basically did what Jacobs and GGG did. (And Culcay.) Jermell is seemingly regressing a bit as a boxer, but he is developing his own dangerous style with great explosiveness and power as well. The next guy he faces who can take a shot and box some though, will beat him, as Harrison proved that one night, and was on his way to proving again. I think Lara would still beat Jermell now and unless he hurts Lara or scores a KD I don't think he would win a round. Not hate, they have a lot of great attributes as I mentioned. You must be getting paid to defend them like this. Only reason I can think of as to why you are so emotional about all of this.

Hallmarks of an objective fan of the sport: Critiques but doesn't namecall, also gives credit where due - 'Smith got beaten badly tonight. It wasn't even close. Ryder deserved that win for sure. Smith either had an off night or is getting too big for the division, maybe a bad matchup, idk. But he did not win this one.' Hallmarks of fanboys: Namecall fighters, never criticize their guy, always criticize the 'other' guys, and their guy always wins if at all posssible - 'Andrea Ward; Pacroid; Fraudweather; Lil G etc; 'First Ward Kov fight was close, could have gone either way; Lil G sucks; Pac-tard, he is not even close to Floyd all-time; Dillian Whyte would crush chicken legs Wilder.' You are part of the 2nd crew. I'm part of the 1st. Have a nice day :) Before you go breaking your arm patting yourself on the back. You are hardly an objective person. It’s just that simple.

Again, serious anti Charlo agenda. Fanboy? Tell us again how much you love ggg.

Again, serious anti Charlo agenda. Fanboy? Tell us again how much you love ggg. I've said it before, I think GGG underperformed relative to expectations vs Canelo both times, Jacobs and Derevy. I still think he won all 4 fights, 3 of them clearly. Overall I have nothing too bad to say about GGG in those four fights. When you win it is hard to really criticize someone. In all 4 of those fights as well, I have nothing bad to say about the opponent as well though. Any time you win 4+ rounds in a 12 round fight, you are doing some good things and are deserving of praise. It means it is a fairly competitive fight. Just like how I don't criticize Jermall with his fight with Derevy. He showed he was right there on his level, how could I criticize one without getting on the other as well? I actually let what I see dictate how I feel about fighters. You should try it.

Again, serious anti Charlo agenda. Fanboy? Tell us again how much you love ggg. Can't argue with anything I said, so you cry and cry and cry. Jermell is explosive and powerful but he can't box very well. Crawford is an elite boxer. Where's the lie? The Charlos are great athletes and OK boxers. They are not SRL, Duran, Hearns or Hagler. They can and should be critiqued. You must be getting paid to fawn over these two like this. If not it is absolutely pathetic.

Charlo got outboxed by Tony Harrison. He was getting outboxed badly by John Jackson. Hell Cota was up 2-0 on him before he got stopped. But somehow he is supposed to box with Crawford, who is pfp top 3 as a boxer in any sane man's list? You gotta stop being such a fanboy and just be a fan of the sport man. It's eating you up.

Serious anti Charlo agenda at work. Charlo got outboxed by Tony Harrison. He was getting outboxed badly by John Jackson. Hell Cota was up 2-0 on him before he got stopped.

Lol Charlo doesn't win a round. Serious anti Charlo agenda at work.

Could he hold up to the shots Harrison took at the end of that rematch...nah probably not. But, I also don't think Crawford would have a complete collapse like that after controlling large portions of the fight, as Harrison has done before in other fights. And even though I've always thought that Crawford "feels" vulnerable whether it be his frame, that he gets squared up at times, or just because he likes to trade and take risks..... at this point, I'm willing to sit here and say he would be more durable than Rosario and Julian Williams. Damn right. There isn't going to be a jab to the body KO in this fight

Crawford should test the waters at 154 by fighting Teixiera getting that 4th weight class title and then see what happens. By that time maybe Manny or Spence or somebody at 147 is ready to fight and if he's comfortable at 54 then a fight undisputed at 154 would be big PPV. Charlo could fight Hurd in the meantime. While big bro fights Andrade at 160. Put it all on PPV as card

Lol Charlo doesn't win a round.

Big facts yo dudes these day built different, even Mayweather fought De La Hoya and Cotto at 154. But Crawford is too small lmao, how this guy is considered P4P #1 is beyond me. I think Spence may have some balls to fight at 154. Spence having balls to fight at 154 would be moving up 1 weight division from his debut weight. Are you saying Crawford hasn't done this?

crawford will get massacre. he is exposed. why dont people understand that? look at his last fight, seems like he's declining now. that's the cost for ducking and fighting bums. couple of years been wasted..

Crawford is too small for 154lbs, at least for a fight with Charlo anyway who is currently the best in the division. Besides, he has far too much business to attend to at 147lbs and given how infrequently he fights he'll likely be retired before anyone's clamouring to see him move up again. The only way I see him fighting at 154lbs is if the Spence fight gets made there, which I would have no problem with.

Another thing about Crawford, he’s just not that accurate as a puncher. He’s not consistent at creating openings. Loma and Canelo are currently the only two boxers are who are good at luring/baiting their opponents to open up to create counter-punching opportunities. Crawford can outfight his way by bullying his opponents, but there’s nothing captivating about his style that makes you go “Damn, this guy is a once in a lifetime type of talent”

I don't think particularly highly of the charlos but crawford ducked matthyse and provodnikov for a reason. Postol beat Matthysse, then Matthysse retired. That’s why Crawford fought Postol instead. Matthysse and then Molina beat Provodnikov, why Crawford fought Molina.

crawford has ducked ALL punchers for a reason though. Charlo’s have a lot of bums with records built off super bums, so I don’t know who are the actual puncher’s in those records, but Crawford did fight Molina and Beltran. Who in Jermell’s record hit harder than those two?

Jermell fights like a puss. He was running around and hugging for most of that Banana fight. He’s still deadly in exchanges. Crawford has a tendency to trade punches and that would be his downfall against the much bigger, Jermell. Crawford doesn’t really outclass his opponents, he simply overwhelmed them by outfighting them. The only time he really outboxed an opponent was when he fought Postol. Crawford is a solid all-around boxer, but he’s no prime Roy Jones, Mayweather, Pacquiao in terms of otherworldly skills and athleticism. “Straight up and down, no special effects.”

Crawford isn’t Mayweather. Dude is there to be hit and Jermell fights with that same grit and anger and he’s bigger. Jermell fights like a puss. He was running around and hugging for most of that Banana fight.
