Comments Thread For: Could Crawford Be Next For Charlo? Jermell Says He's Staying At 154 Pounds After Alvarez Fight

This coming from a guy that guaranteed Spence would stop Crawford. Better to have people think you are ****** than open your mouth and remove all doubt....namsayn?

Huh?
I never picked Spence as my post history would show.

I quite heavily favour Crawford.
He is more athletic and skilled, better counterpuncher, a little slicker. I think Spence is very solid, a good all rounder but a little no-thrills. I suspect Crawford will be too 'cute' for him.

Then you factor in the injuries and all the unknowns, inactivity, whether Spence can still even make WW healthy.

I can see Spence making it close but I am not really seeing a clear path to victory for him.

Do you know Haney or something? I mean if you are a fan ok, but jeez dude. Haney isn't exactly the most exciting fighter.

Good. After last weekends blitzkrieg and dominant beatdown of the supposed "Big Fish", id love to see Bud attempt to become the ONLY 3x undisputed champ EVER.

Theres already built in animosity and Bud was talkin sh.it to Mell after he kd Spence.

Besides, Id like to see Bud beat up and knock Mell tf out so James looks like a smug b!tch AGAIN like he did last weekend.

Charlo isn't fighting Crawford because he has everything to lose and nothing to gain against a guy that just decimated a friend that normally spars charlo to a stand still. Charlo has been grinding for little money and now he has a winning lotto ticket. He may keep the belts to fight Tim or another money fight at 154 but it won't be Crawford, that I guarantee. Charlo may dislike Crawford and he'll talk lions only and gansta BS marketing but it won't go beyond talk. Spence was the real deal, no talk, just action and Crawford took him apart like an unemotional, unflinching serial killer. The fight would have to be at 160 or higher and pay Charlo 20 million to get in with Crawford.

Not a fan of the trash talk but James is a great trainer and coach, he gets the absolute best out of the fighters. I don't know what he'll do with Joshua, I always felt a better match would have been Virgil Hunter or Breadman. They do some kind of spooky Vulcan mind meld thing. They can't get in the ring physically but you can tell they're in there mentally.

If he carries and wants to continue to carry the WBO, I don’t think he’ll have much choice.

If Bud activates his wbo mandatory,he can fight Tzyu (sp) for the interim WBO belt (id favor Crawf) then Mell has no place to run. Wbo does enforce their rules unlike the other belt orgs.

[Oldskoolg]

If that’s the case then Crawford is the favourite to beat Charlo who will be weight drained

[kiaba360]

They can't run from Tim forever.

Tszyu vs. Crawford??

[kiaba360]

Proves Jermell knew the ass-whooping was coming so hes cashing out. Rightfully so.

I respect Jermell for becoming Undisputed and not letting losses deter him from reaching that goal, but everyone's time on the throne is temporary. You've got both Tszyu and Crawford on his heels, and Jermell needs to capitalize on his current status while he still can. He must be ecstatic that he's getting Canelo, and hopefully he brings his best.

Signing with the PBC guarantees NOTHING, it just provides content for Showtime....Just ask David Benavidez and Jemall Charlo

Maybe you missed it ....Crawford offered Danny Garcia $5 million, Danny said "we goin another way", Danny fought Granados for 1$ million. Arum offered Keith $10 million, Keith demanded 20 and ended up fighting Manny for $7 Million with back end included. Porter and Spence agreed to fight Crawford and neither finished the fight. I can go on and on but you get the point.... and if you don't it's because you can't handle the truth.

Oh I get it so basically Crawfords promoter did a good job and he's full of s*** for suing him? I mean if you have it all figured out that these fighters just ran away from the fights although they were offered the money, surely Crawford can figure it out right? So it wasn't Arum doing a bad job the fighters just refused the fights.

Get real and read what I said again. he didnt have to sign with PBC. Who is he signed with now? And how did the fight happen? Nothing has changed on the other side of the street. They're still AL Haymon advised fighters. What was done without Bob Arum could've been done without Arum years ago.

The indictment is he knew it was close to impossible that Arum would make a fight with them PBC fighters. And he went and resigned which was an indication he was in no rush to fight any PBC fighters. Who just happened to have multiple champions at the weight class he campaigned at. Top Rank had no 147 fighters that could help him prove he was the best.

Hopefully he will learn from Canelo and Tank who's bringing in lots of money. Especially tank who got his biggest payday after becoming a promotional free agent.

So what if pbc worked with top rank before. rarely have they ever. Also did u not forget that Arum himself was warring with crawford his own fighter. He said that haymon or any promoter would be an idiot to pay crawford what he wants with all of the money he was losing the company. Arum tore crawford a new one and Crawford's still chose to resign with arum. Only at the end did he leave. Stop lying for crawford. He made horrible buisness decisions and only after everyone had beaten each other to a pulp thats when crawford came around collecting belts. Crawford is my pfp 1 but this revisionist of history has gotten out of control. It wasn't some big conspiracy against crawford. It wasn't that all of showtime hated crawford. The world wasn't against crawford. No. He just made bad decisions and was in a war with his own promoter in arum. Waited in till all of the great welterweight beat up each other and started collecting belts after all was said and done.

SMH its so simple but when you're bias you're bias. Logic doesn't matter to grown men nowadays. Everyone's emotional like women and think with feelings. Couldn't have said this any better.
