Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo: "I'm Amongst The Hall of Famers Already"

"Daring to be great". Hmm,where have I heard that before? Ah yes, Mikey vs Spence,Khan vs Canelo, Kell vs GGG,hell even Canelo vs Bivol. Daring to be great is the get out of jail free card for a smaller fighter when the weight jump doesn't work out for them,and they need an excuse as to why they lost.

yeah man. I'd dare to be great and fight Canelo for 6 million. it's not brave.

Charlo is a good boxer but overrated. He does deserve credit for becoming undisputed, but belts and title opportunities in this sport are largely circumstantial. What truly matters is who you beat (and when you beat them), and 154lbs has undeniably been a weak division for a while now.

IMO he has no real shot of beating Canelo. Even if they were the same weight, this is a level he's never fought at before, far beyond the Tony Harrisons and Brian Castanos of the world.

Here we go with another red balls cherry pick that thinks they're Hall of Fame fighter just because they lose in a couple of rounds.

Canelo is not good enough to put on that level of performance vs Charlo, even if charlo is 2 weight classes below him.

What?

when have you ever seen canelo heat an elite opponent in dominant fashion the way Crawford did to Spence?

Canelo’s route to undisputed wad very similar to charlos as 168 was also a very weak division.

He's undisputed. He's def going in the hall of fame. And Mell gets the credit for this fight. Ginger mosdef does NOT...w/his hypocritical @ss. Hope this cherry pick, backfires like it did vs Bivol

Charlo is in Fury level delusion territory.

Agreed...being an undisputed champion virtually 'guarantees' him a spot in the HoF although I don't fancy his chances against Canelo but RESPECT him for having the balls to step up 2 weight classes (14lbs).

[uppercut510]

there are fighters in the hall of fame who have done less than him

I couldn't disagree more.

Jermell's route to undisputed at 154lbs:

Tony Harrison (at the second time of asking)
Jeison Rosario
Brian Castano (also at the second time of asking)

Canelo's route to undisputed at 168lbs:

Callum Smith
Billy Joe Saunders
Caleb Plant

There's a sizeable gap in the cumulative quality of those opponents if you ask me. In fact I'd argue that any one of those three names Canelo faced would each themselves have beaten Jermell's three opponents and become undisputed at 154lbs if they were at that weight.

There are many things you can criticise Canelo for throughout his career but his run at 168lbs isn't one of them. He does need to fight Benavidez though.
