Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo: I Make 154 Very Easy; Could Stay At That Weight For 'My Whole Career'

[GhostofDempsey]

I don’t want to hear talk about his greatness if he remains at 154, especially when GGG staying at 160 most of his career had his haters accusing him of hiding out at 160 and not challenging himself.

Middleweight is currently a barren wasteland with barely any promising prospects.

In the next three or four years, there is likely going to be big welterweights moving up and prospects rising through the ranks such as:
-Jermell Charlo
-Xander Zayas
-Errol Spence
-Sebastian Fundora
-Tim Tszyu
-Vergil Ortiz Jr
-Jaron Ennis
-Eimantas Stanionis
-Brian Castano
-Danny Garcia
-Erickson Lubin
-Conor Benn
-Israil Madrimov
-Magomed Kurbanov
-Joey Spencer
-Tony Harrison
-Jesus Ramos

With likely other fighters that I forgot to list.

I don't think the Charlos are gonna become superstars, that ship has sailed. They've fought on PPV once and it seems like that experiment failed because SHO never put them on PPV again. Jermell has proved his mettle and is a worthy undisputed champion, but he's not gonna move up to 160/168 partially because Jermall is in the way. Jermell should stay at 154 if he can and carve out the best career possible. He already has a year worth of opponents lined up: Tszyu, Fundora, and maybe Crawford.

That's the boring, sensible and safe thing to do but he's conquered the LMW division and none of the leading contenders really offer much. He's a natural MW anyway and just because his brother is currently working at that weight shouldn't be an excuse not to go test himself. No one else is in his position and Canelo is crying out for one of his peers to match him for ambition.

Lol. Golovkin stayed at 160 forever but never unified the belts. Charlo has all four.

Because he was being ducked. He has way more title defenses than both Charlo brothers combined.

Jermell's resume is already better than Golovkin's, outside of Canelo.

Isn't that even more reason to move up? I would only understand hanging around for the belts he's already done that.

Ducked by PEDnelo only, and that fight happened. He ducked the **** out of Andrade and they were with the same promoter. Gtfoh with, nobody of note ducked guy, unless you rate munguia

Genuine 100% undisputed champion's are few & far between so should be embraced & treasured. I really hope Jermell stays @ 154Lb for as long as possible & thus prove his worth as #1 in the division. The only complaint I have is that he's not that global, so I'd personnally like to see him take a few fight's outside of the USA once in a while!!......

Mike Tyson used steroids, rap ed a teenager, was a huge drug addict, beat up his wives, and got knocked out in 4 of his 5 losses. He is one of the most overrated boxers in history, and you have his picture as your profile.
