Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza: I Still Think It's Very Possible Jermall Charlo-Benavidez Happens Next

[Nightfall]

That is why he can`t beat Canelo.

He doesn`t even believe he can beat him.

You mean clenelo can't beat Jermall which is why he ducked him for three years. It was always some excuse Charlo becomes alvareds mandatory

[DJrabit]

We all know if he goes to 168 the fighter he will fight is Dirrel lol

[DClefthook]

I'm not sure if Charlo is keen on fighting Benavidez. He has some chance of possibly winning against him and Andrade, so why not take the fight? The in-house matchmaking at PBC is quite annoying, because even top guys with the same company don't want to fight each other, or one side doesn't want to.

"because top guys in the same company don't want to fight each other" ..... ok you must be in Europe. We literally have an undisputed fight at 154 in july and a 3 belt unification unification at 147 with about 10 more title fights on Showtime this summer. And FOX hasn't even released their schedule yet. I believe you meant to say DAZN guys dont want to fight each other like 3G, Canelo, Andrade, BJ Saunders, Ryan, Devin ...... get your facts st8t first before you post son!

If Charlo has haters, and he does, it’s merely because he didn’t sign with Edward Hearn and go to dayzin. If he did certain demographics wouldn’t criticise him anymore but he’d be forgotten and not cared about like Andrade is

Nah, not everyone looks through the same lens that you do, where it's just shades of different promoters and platforms. I'm sure some of his critics fall into the camp you mentioned, but there are valid reasons to criticize him. He proclaims "Lions Only" yet his record is littered with the lambs of the division.

For the record, I think he's a damn good fighter and he was impressive and showed resolve in the Derevyanchenko fight but he brings alot of the criticism on himself.

The problem would be getting Jermall to actually want to fight a threat

Derevyanchenko was a threat. And that fight wasn't THAT long ago.

I think Mall just wants a big fight & big fight to him means Canelo or GGG. Fighting a guy much younger than him probably feels like a lose lose situation to him. If he beat him he beat a young guy who's not done much & if he loses well he lost.

Can you tell me who Juan Macias Montiel is and WHY is Charlo fighting him next??? I know it ain't no MANDO.

and the winner should get Canelo Alvarez but we already know that it won't happen because Canelo's cowardly cherry picking ass is afraid of both of them. At this point he won't fight a live body who is a risk in the ring.

Not too big a threat, and he'd already been in heavy with GGG and Jacobs. If Mall can beat Benavidez he'd get props for beating a former champ and one of the top guys at the weight. It would put him in a great position to persue the Canelo fight after he fights Plant

Lotsa folks thought Derevyanchenko deserved the decision vs GGG.

If Mall does whatever fans want him to do today isn't what Mall is thinking about. Mall has been boxing for like a dozen years already, is undefeated & a multiweight champion. He wants a big fight. Benevidez is a fun fight for fans & a big fight for fans to I'd even say, but from Mall's POV the only big fights gotta be GGG & Canelo cuz those are the money guys. The money guys are the big fights to boxers. Don't believe me? Than why are Bud & Errol fighting over who's gonna get Manny next instead of fighting each other to decide in the ring who's #1 at 147?
