Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo: 'I'm Getting Overlooked At 160,' Benavidez Fight Will Happen 'When It Makes Sense'

[Theosis26]

Charlo gets respect from me no longer. Seemed like after the chenko win, he was moving towards better fights, but he's nothing like his brother. Andrade & Hearn begged Charlo for the fight but he keeps coming up with bull**** answers to opt out. What about Lara? That's another good fight. Charlo has some options if he really cared...

Do belts matter or not? Because a move up to 168 and not for a title is a dumb move. Why don't people hold Canelo to the same standard they hold Charlo to? He was feeling himself and he said DB name I get it but let's not act like Canelo didn't say Charlo could get it as well. It's only cowardly when it's PBC tho.

GGG didn't want to fight him and say what you want but the crap BooBoo pulled I wouldn't do business with him either that's time and money being wasted.

I don't like the Saluki fight though. DAZN should have let they one who actually almost passed out from being weight drained get KO'ed.

Charlo does have lots of options INHOUSE. Which means he doesn't have to cross the street. There's Lara, Adames, Benavidez, Plant... Nobody knows why he's spending all those times waiting around. His last fight was exactly one year ago.

You're clearly in pain whenever something remotely negative is said about Mr Jermall.
Clearly different when real fans just want to see these guys fight each other.

I could say the same about you. You already left about 5 paragraphs. You clearly hate any African American fighter with pbc because they more successful than you.

This dude isn't letting anyone down with his opponent seletion, it's assumed he ain't fighting the top guys at MW. That akhi tv dude will be in here defending n justifying his opponent

Believe me doe, I've tried to avoid anything Jermall Charlo-related.
It's clear he doesn't have a clue where to go from here.
On one hand he now says he wants to unify, yet don't do anything about it.
On the other, he wants Canelo like right now, today, here, now, which is unrealistic
and has nothing to do with unifying. It's a picture of a very confused individual.

Sadly, all he got are sycophants who only tell him what he wants to hear.

At the end of the day fans are fans who have their own preferences and biases. Reality is, there was never any fight that was made because of fans' influence. It's all been based on business. I doubt these people behind the business cared what fans want. Fights are done based on the need to protect someone's zero. Which is understandable, but there comes a point where pressure builds to step up, previous excuses no longer make sense, new rivals pop up, all these things that don't have anything to do with fans.

Charlo CLEARLY hides behind Al Haymon...but hey....he said he's willing to have Crawford if he comes up 2 weight divisions so he has that going for him...

Overlooked?

You're not fighting anybody you IDIOT! I hate to disrespect Jermall because I'm a fan and I think he is very talented and has one of the best Jabs in all of boxing when he actually decides to use it and be patient with it but from what I'm hearing he is the one picking the Sulecki type of opponents from the list of 3 Names that Haymon and PBC sends him to choose from. He is the one Picking Juan Montiel instead of stiffer opponents. HE and Shields want to play things safe and just cash out with the Canelo fight.

Then it is rumors that he don't have a major back injury, Tickets Sales was so Sh^t that they just Canceled the event. Munguia now calling him out, Espinoza should send over another offer

[Mtodduk08]

Benavidez fight will never make sense for Charlo he will get his ass BEAT!! It will not even be close. Charlo better keep fighting the dudes he been fighting. Plant would be a good choice for him. But Canelo, Fundura, Benavidez would All run through him. I personally would like to see Fundura put it on him

[jqSide]

I still don't get these Jermall Charlo articles.

Seems clear he's been willing to wait for years for the Canelo sweepstakes.

Taking any fight in the interim might derail everything. Why put pressure on the guy? That's what he wants.
