Jermall Charlo preferring to sit on the shelf...Really?

[rickJen]

This guy is an embarrassment to the sport. A young prime lion wasting his time.
Even Dontae Boxing says he's got lots of options, there's Benavidez, Andrade, Plant mentioned his name...
Do you really want to see this guy wait for a fight that might not even happen?

What a huge joke.

The least Mall can do is try to win a belt and become a world champion like his brother, Jermell really outshines him in all departments.

Both his and Andrades careers so far have been disappointing/underwhelming to say the least. Can't for the life of me understand why Charlo doesn't have any interest in facing Andrade or his belt....

He’s got a net worth of about 3 million, I’m guessing that makes it easier to be complacent.

That’s nothing for a boxer in his position, especially after taxes. That’s barely better then a regular person high up the management ladder in a company.

I really thought he was going to enter a different stage in his career after the Derevyenchenko fight....fighting a higher level of competition. It's been very underwhelming since.

No doubt but he’s a young man living the life. His motivation is not going to be the same as some poor shmoe paying rent and making payments on a used mustang.

That was a very good performance, Derevyenchenko is no joke. That's what makes it worse with Mall and some other fighters, its not that they are hiding cuz they just ain't good enough.

That's true. There are fighters (PBC ones are shining examples)
who are okay making less as long as they're on their preferred side of the street.
The feeling of being at home, and the feeling of being protected is of paramount importance.
They'll ignore options that offer significant amount. Money is not really everything.
Yet we see debates entirely focused on money.

David Benavidez called him a p-ssy live on Showtime and he is just going to take it.

I've lost a lot of respect for Jermall Charlo.
