Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo: "A Win Over Canelo Will Stamp Me As One Of The Greats"

Maybe not but it would certainly be major progress towards that end.

GTFO here. He’s going up two divisions to fight the undisputed champ who has walked thru everybody at 168 he’s fought thus far (3 champions).

If Charlo pulls this off (big if) this is HUGE for his legacy. Who has Charlo ducked ?? He’s undisputed at 154 and the only reason he isn’t fighting Tszyu is to take on a much stiffer opponent in Alvarez, unless of course you folks think Tszyu beats the 2023 version of Canelo.




If he beats Canelo he’s undisputed in TWO. That hasn’t been done too many times, I hear. and never by a guy skipping a whole division.

Cant really argue with anything you've stated here. All facts.

Only been Champion in ONE division doesn't seem too GREAT.

Hagler only fought at 160, and his 3 top/memorable/notable fights were against former 135/147lb fighters. He’s still considered a great and HOFer.

Of course i’m not saying that’s all Hagler did, he beat a bunch of top middleweights of his time.

Canelo didn't choose Charlo on a whim. Charlo happened to have the conditions he's always looked for in his career. He's much smaller and has been out for far too long.

Beating Canelo could only be a great win if Canelo himself is great. He is no such thing. He's not even close to being a great. He's a good fighter and no more who has an entire career of picking vulnerable opponents or sabotaging them before he'll fight them. He never goes looking for the best. The complete opposite actually.

Not sure about “one of the greats” but a win over Canelo will surely enhance Charlos legacy significantly, and will definitely tarnish Canelo’s legacy. Would be a terrible look for him to blatantly duck a real challenge in his division to face someone 2 weight divisions below him so that he could lessen the risk, yet still take an L.

If you are unsure if Canelo is a great, then how does Charlo beating him enhance his legacy significantly? How does that make sense? In the same vein, if Canelo loses to Charlo, what legacy is there to tarnish, he isn't viewed as 'great'. You guys spew so much hate against dude, you don't even recognize when your arguments are discrediting your own guy. Canelo has done enough at this point to be considered a great therefore if Charlo wins, it will boost his legacy for sure simply becos he would have beaten a great fighter.

One of the Greats, at what?
Making excuses and running away from your mandatory at 154lbs...

No it will not.

When I said not sure about one of the greats, I was referring to charlo stating that beating canelo would make him one of the greats. It’s literally the title of the article. Is your reading comprehension limited? And for Charlo, yes it would significantly enhance his legacy to jump two full weight classes and beat an undisputed champion in their division as an underdog. How often has that happened it boxing? Next time try and enhance your reading comprehension before going on a pointless rant.

You GTFO out of here numbnuts. Tell me his best win - Oh Tony Harrison who beat him the first time. As soon as Canelo offered him the fight his hand injury miraculously healed up, he ducked Tszyu as he didn't want to risk losing to an upcoming fighter.

Yes his going up 2 divisions, anyone whose seen Canelo's last 2 fights knows his on the decline and still I doubt he will win so let's wait and see, his resume doesn't put him down as one of the greats and if you think it does you are clueless.

And Canelo didn't run from his??
