Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo Explains That It's Tough To Transform Body Into Super Middleweight

[Boxing Scene]

Canelo fans crying right now because even Charlo admits he's way too small for 168 lol

[Boxing Scene]

Alvarez is already a great fighter. Already a Hall of Famer

No he is not.

[Boxing Scene]

Regardless of the weight Charlo is the better fighter and will win this fight

He won't. And you won't be here after he loses bad.

What I'm saying is that he shouldn't be acknowledging those facts to the media, I mean is he already preparing excuses
If anything he should be acting like it's not difficult for him to move up to 168, because it's his walking around weight when he's not scheduled to fight.

The answer to your question is a big fat “YES”.

[MONGOOSE66]

No he is not.

Really? He’s paid ROUTINELY 10’s of millions of dollars to fight “nobodies”. You think that’s paid for by promoters cause they LOOSE MONEY? Come on you can’t be that ******?

[Rockenator]

No he is not.

Well, you may say Canelo isn't a great fighter but his bank account differs. With an estimated net worth of $180M and more millions on the way - - I'd say he's certainly great at making money. And you don't get great at that unless you have some skills and people want to pay to see them.

He's moving up two weight divisions. Not one but two. That's a fact. Not an excuse.


There is a big difference between walking around weight and fighting weight. It's not the same thing.

[trippleupper]

Yeah it would.

Pacquaio weighed in at 146 for Margarito, under the Welterweight limit let alone the Jr Middleweight limit.

There’s endless examples of that throughout boxing history.

Show us a few of these "endless examples" where one fighter weighed 30 pounds more than another (can't be at heavyweight).

[Doubledagger]

You're certainly wrong, he said he doesn't get that big. More like 175-180

You're also wrong.

He said he walks around at around 168 but is trying to bulk up to 181 so that he can cut down to 168lbs.

He then explained that fighting at your walk around weight is not good because it makes you sluggish and slow, which is why he is employing the tactic of gaining weight and then cutting down.

According to him, you can actually feel yourself get faster when you cut weight.

My main issue with this is the fact he aint listening to his trainer.

His should not be trying to match Canelo's optimum weight, he should be trying to come in at HIS optimum weight. If his optimim weight is 161 or 163, the come in at 161 or 163.

I watched an interview where Derek James told him this and he flat out told James he aint doing that, smh.

You didn't say anything about 30 lbs. You said if he weighs in below the limit that it won't be sanctioned, which isn't true. There are endless amounts of examples in boxing history where a fighter has weighed in under the weight limit, that will not stop a fight being sanctioned as mentioned above with Pacquaio and Margarito.

Anyway, some examples for you from the top of my head;

Robinson 144 lbs Vs Lamotta 160 lbs

Robinson 157 vs Maxim 173 lbs

Armstrong 142 vs Garcia 153
