No one will remember anyone he defeated twenty years from now. He's lining up his duck of Crawford before he even moves to 154. If Spence moves to 154 I expect Charlo will give up one of his belts to avoid fighting him.

I would like the Charlo sisters if they both didn't whine like girls so much. Not a big fan of Tzyu, nor was I of his ponytail dad, (I enjoyed watching Hatton beat him into submission) but it'd be enjoyable to see him bust Jermell up. Hey Jermell, the reason you're not on some peoples' lists is b/c you're down on all 3 scorecards half the time and then your power gets you out of trouble. That's nothing to be ashamed of whatsoever, but it's not like you're an elite boxer with sublime skills.Comment

I don't mind the Charlo's or any other boxer having a chip on their shoulder but man this "woe is me I get no respect" act is several years long.Comment

Charlo shoulders some of the blame himself. He has fought -some- good names, emphasis on the some. He beat Lubin, highly touted prospect at the time, he beat Rosario, the man who beat the man, and he beat Castano to unify. Despite unified 4 belt champ I only see 3 good names on his resume. I do think there should be more names on his resume but Charlo only fights 1 or 2 times a year and a couple of those times were rematches. The good news I think he will be on the p4p list in a few years once the 154 prospects mature into contenders like Israil Madrimov and Charles Conwell, or fighting Liam Smith or Sebastian Fundora.Comment

isn't 140 a tweener division - didn't Josh Taylor make it on to the top 10 P4P?Probably because he doesn't have a win over a truly recognizable name and he's in one of the tweener divisions, that's historically not been too great.
He's obviously the better brother and he deserves his respect but he needs a standout victory and it could well be Crawford if PBC ever let him off the leash.
I'm pretty sure Usyk was on top 10 P4P even before he moved up to HW
I think Jermell has suffered for being in a more competitive division.
You look at Taylor, and as good as he was at 140 (before Caterall fight) not many could see him beating Spence, Bud, Ennis or Ortiz at WW - I'd take them all to soundly beat Taylor (or even Prograis if he moved up now).
But if any of those 4 move up to 154 I think most sound-minded fans are going to say that a fight with Jermell is competitive at the least.Comment

all these P4P ratings are a JOKE but yeah if you don't have the 154 UNDISPUTED Champ in your Top 10 P4P then clearly it is just personal and you don't like him. P4P is about the talent in the Ring not guys behavior outside of itComment
