Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo Shreds Crawford's Win Over Avanesyan: "He Ain't Trying To Fight Anybody"

[Boricua181]

I like Jermell, but if it bothers him to see top champions face random nobodies over and over it must be really hard for him to witness his own brother's career.

It has been difficult for Jermell, to watch Jermall's (the other half of "Lions Only") career stagnated by inactivity, and legal woe's.
That said he has absolutely no control over his brothers career, action's, or decision's, he's doing what he has to do to remain champion at 154.
He's doing great in his own career, and not letting any outside distraction's knock him off track of becoming one of the top ten pound for pound in boxing.

At least with Charlo, the 154 division is not as stacked as 147.
Crawford’s resume at 147 is a joke and Jeff Horn was a bum anyway. He got a gift over PAC.

Crawford could have fought Boots instead of Avanesyan.

Crawford could've fought Boots, and in so doing if he had beaten someone like him, put enormous pressure on Spence.
Crawford is one of the best fighter's in boxing, but people are starting to question the career decision's that he's making lately.

Ummmm, he's trying to fight you and your friend Spence but Al Haymon doesn't want to take that risk for the money and that's ok.

Exactly! What that is, is complete and utter bull****!

Charlo is number 1 cheerleader for Spence. Bud Crawford didn't like it one bit and he's irritated. Crawford vs Jermell needs to happen in 2023.

I think Crawford wants to fight both Errol and Jermell, but Al Haymon would never allow it. Because if Bud plucked their feathers, that would greatly hurt the company. Two of their best milkers would be worth much less on the market. Al Haymon cares way more about his business than he does about his fighters legacy. That's why he blocks certain fights from happening. U can tell that Al Haymon believes legacy is a matter of perception, and that he feels he can shape perception by matching his guys with ppl he knows they can beat, such as aging name fighters who are past their prime, smaller fighters moving up in weight, guys coming off knockouts or hard brutal fights, inactive fighters, giving opponents fights on short notice so they don't have time to prepare properly, slower or light punching opponents, or some other form of mismatch. As long as he can pad his guys' record with wins, he feels he can create an illusion of legacy in their undefeated or winning records. That way, they can maximize their earning potential and retire feeling like they were all time great fighters and having the public view them as such. The problem with this business model is how it bottlenecks guys careers and prevents them from fighting outside of the safety bubble that Haymon created for them. It gives them a soft cushion and makes them comfortable and secure in believing they're great when they're really not what they think they are. And it robs fans of seeing what they really wanna see, which is the best against the best. Outside of that bubble are fighters who'll set the record straight if given the opportunity. Fighters who'll dispel the myths and show who's actually great and who's not. Fighters who'll kick ur pampered asses and bring the PBC curtain to a close

anyone need a definition of irony

Jermell is the Charlo that fights everyone in front of him. It's Jermall that ducks smoke and talks.

Basically, Crawford = a 147 Jermall.

In Bud's last fight I've noticed some slight signs of decline in his reflexes and overall performance. He is slowing down.

He appeared a lot slower than usual. He got hit more and moved less. In addition, his punches wasn't as sharp or as accurate as they normally are.

Perhaps, it was due to ring rust or he is just plain getting old.

I still don't understand why there is so much bad blood between these two. It's kinda funny but it just seems so damn random.

As a fan of Bud, he physically slipped after the Horn fight if I'm being honest. He's still really damn good but he lost some of his athleticism after that but he's making up for it in other areas.

Crawford will beat Charlie's ass from pillar to post.
ANd I'm putting a stack on it

Exactly. Him and his fans acts like his resume is filled with world beaters, lmao….!!!
