Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo: September 30 in Las Vegas

ginger is 175 pounder, he used to weight 172 pounds when he was 154lbs.

No hes not. Real 175 lbers are all like 185+ on fight night. Canelo being 172 hydrated proves hes a natural middle/super middle.

Charlo is a hungry lion! Biggest challenge of his career
He never fought at 160 or 168 in his entire human life.

Holy smoke, Jermall hasn't fought in 4 years!? I thought it was two, until I checked boxrec. And to think that Canelo wanted to fight him originally.

Wrong, 2021, he fought a journeyman called montiel and looked pretty bad

Jermell is not smoking anyone at 168, let alone Canelo. He's never fought at 160, let alone 168. So after this fictional win over Canelo at 168, Jermell is coming back down to 154? I doubt that. This is a cash-out move, nothing more. He's getting the bag Jermall is too emotionally distraught to get. Jermell won't even care about losing the fight after Canelo because his bank account will be set.

Naw, Jermell is already bigger than Cinnabon, more skillled, more athletic, with much better stamina. Cinnabon refused the fight when they were both 154 for a reason, and Mell has that same chip on his shoulder. After Ginger is gassed in the 6th or 7th round, Mell will destroy him with the full arsenal. Look at how Canelo looked after the halfway point against Ryder; getting hit clean, no footwork, and slow punches leaving himself open. Jermell might even put him down.

Maybe. I just am not a fan of fights like this when there are viable SMW or MW to fight. A JMW at SMW is just ridiculous.

I guess Haymon had to make the 1st fight one where Canelo looks outstanding to drive sales for the next 2.


The only value I see Doing JMW Charlo, MW Charlo and then Benavidez does allow PBC to make progressively better fights.

I believe that Haymon gave Cinnabon the Jermall fight because Canelo thought due to inactivity, he found a cherry. But, Jermall didn't take the bait, and Jermell stepped in, which Cinnabon accepted as another cherry. Jermell has wanted this fight for a long time, and he's going to be at his best for the opportunity.

How much you want to put on that? Name your price.

I will start at 100 and you can push it up from there, I just want to make sure we pay. Very confident in this one.

Iron Man Charlo is a HUGE 154. He's taller, younger with better reach than Canelo. Jermell will likely be heavier than Saul on fight night.

Jermell is a natural jr. middleweight who has never fought at 160, let alone 168. You forgot that part. If Canelo was really a G., he would be fighting Andrade after the Bivol rematch fell through.

Taller and bigger are two different things.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Just stop that bullsh.it how is Charlo bigger than Canelo.

154 is the highest division Jermell has ever fought in, while Canelo already has 2 fights even at 175.
