Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo: I Don't Get The Respect I Deserve; I Guess In The P4P, You Gotta Be Liked

F'k that, the whole division is supposed to be put on hold because two fighters are friends? It's boxing, it's not like they are brothers. The best need to fight the best. Period.

The division hasn't been put on hold, though.

In fact Jermell has pretty much cleaned it out.

Most fans think you lost to Harrison and BCC, so that's why they likely don't have you in the top 10

With Harrison he took the loss and knocked him out in the rematch, with Castano, the first fight was a draw and Charlo knocked him out in the rematch, I don't see the issue. These guys he fought were the top in the division, and he had tough fights with tough competition. In the end, he knocked them both out.

It's partly PBC's fault.

They aren't good at building stars.

Not saying much. The division isn't full of world beaters. For all the criticism of Crawford that gets spread around here, at least he has a better resume than both Charlos combined.

Both charlos all bark no bite I was actually fond of them at the beginning thinking they were dogs but in reality Mall isn't elite he got beat by Harrison the first time and he Lost the first fight to castaņo who outboxed Mall but the Argentine lacked the power to keep him away.

It sounds like an Ameri-centric list - ESPN's audience is probably 90% from USA so that's it I suppose. I like Spence as a fighter. I thought he was done after the car crash but he proved me wrong. He has a very, very solid record at WW but not yet a spectacular resume - he hasn't beaten Bud, he has young lions nipping his tail and he hasn't moved up - he should be 6-10 on the P4P

Bud hasn't beaten Spence, nor any other WW Champion since Jeff Horn, and he's ranked #1!

That's not true, Crawford has been holding on to one belt and fighting mid-tier opponents and fighters that are 1 fight from retiring. Jermell has fought all of the champions and top ranked contenders in the division. Crawford could have fought top 5 ranked fighters, but that's not his way......insert Avanesyen.

And that's fine, but it doesn't put him in the top ten fighters on the planet.


EDIT - TBRB has him 8 and Ring has him 9 so WTF is he bitching about?

[SteveM]

Liam Smith is in the top 5 in 3 of the 4 boxing orgs, I think that counts for something.

it counts for something yeah - his promoter is bunging a lot of money to those orgs
