Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo To Canelo: I'll Be Ready in September, Let's Make The Fight Happen

[Greenfield02]

More people want Canelo vs charlo than they ever did Canelo vs Smith, Yidilgrim, Saunders , fielding or plant. None of their resumes are leaps and bounds beyond Charlo. Too much inconsistency when it comes to who should land Canelo fights and who shouldn’t.

Charlo's resume? Give me 5 good name's on that resume?

Of all the pbc fighters jermell is the only one who’s fighting everyone! Just one more belt for undisputed if anything he deserves a shot vs Canelo. Jermall is all bark and no bite.

Unpopular divisions like JMW and CW are usually quicker to unify.

Canelo should tell both Benavidez and Charlo no fight until they fight an eliminator...and he fights the winner.

Fu** the fame, Fu** the money! Really? Where was that attitude when he was offered the fight a while back and he turned it down? This clown... Just mentioning Canelo's name to get attention for his fight with his regular B and C level opponents.

Same with GGG. Undisputed isn't interesting to him anymore.

I am sorry for anyone feeling offended by what I am about to say because I like Canelo and mean no disrespect as this is not intended to be a racist comment. However, I think it's time for Canelo to step up his level of opposition and start fighting some undefeated Black fighters around his weight class of a 160 to a 168 pounds like Demetrius Andrade and Jermall Charlo.

Last time I checked, Canelo fights at 168, and Charlo turned down this fight a couple of years back. Here's a thought, why doesn't any of these guys fight someone with a pulse or move up to 168 and beat someone relevant? You know 168 where Canelo actually fights, Jacobs and Benavides, even Andrade have called out Charlo, and yet he he's choosing to fight a C level fighter for his next fight, I would even respect him fighting someone like Eubanks Jr, but he chooses the easy road to get a payday

Charlo's resume? Give me 5 good name's on that resume?

how about you give me five good names on the resumes of smith, Yidilgrim and Saunders. Then that would really address the point that I’m making.

Sorry you don't get to fight Muriel, then demand the Canelo fight. I'm not even a Canelo fan really, and think he is surely doping right now.

BUT - none of these guys want to fight each other, everyone wants to wait around for Canelo, and even then I don't think some of these guys really want to fight him now. He is fighting too well and they would doubt themselves.

Boxing needs a way to force better fights

[Boxing-1013]

"A fight between a pair of pound-for-pound kings who are both 30-years-old would instantly become one of boxing’s most lucrative bouts of the last decade. " - WTF

Jermal ??? a pound for pound king based on what ?

I don't mind calling him a pfp king, who knows, maybe he is top 15 or better.

But why tf would this fight be any more lucrative than BJS or someone like that? lol

Man... Looking at this post. I think we need a dislike button.

Yeah they need to do a thumbs up and down or like and NOW that's just ****** type system

Jermall is f--king up at light speed! He should go after Benavidez ASAP! If Ruiz vs. Arreola is a PPV fight, then Charlo vs. Benavidez is too! Showtime wants it too!

Showtime's Espinoza: I Still Think It's Very Possible Jermall Charlo-Benavidez Happens Next
April 26, 2021

Espinoza, Showtime’s president of sports and event programming, realizes it would be an ambitious move for Charlo to battle Benavidez in his first fight at the 168-pound limit. But if Canelo Alvarez beats Billy Joe Saunders on May 8 and boxes Caleb Plant in September, Espinoza explained during a recent appearance on Chris Mannix’s Sports Illustrated boxing podcast that it could open up an opportunity to schedule a Charlo-Benavidez bout for late in 2021...

“I think it is very possible,” Espinoza said. “You know, at 168 there’s Benavidez, there’s Plant, there’s, you know, Canelo being the wild card and maybe Jermall Charlo, you know, throw into that group. I think [Charlo-Benavidez] could’ve happened, but the timing was off. You know, Jermell and Jermall haven’t fought since September. And David Benavidez just fought, you know, in March. So, Benavidez wasn’t gonna be ready as quickly as Jermall wanted, and Jermall didn’t wanna wait all the way until the fall, until when Benavidez was ready.

“So, they each took a fight and I think there will be conversations going forward. Now, whether or not it’s fair to ask Jermall to take on one of the two or three best guys in the division in his first fight at that weight class, that’s a big challenge. But, you know, I still think it is very possible that that fight happens next, depending on what happens with Plant and Canelo as well.”

Well that ship has sailed. From this thread's article; Charlo has stated that he will not be moving up to 168 lbs to challenge anyone not named Saul Canelo Alvarez.
