Comments Thread For: Janibek Calls Out Jermall Charlo and Erislandy Lara: "Will They Find An Excuse Not To Fight?"

[El_Mero]

They are already going back-and-forth on Twitter. Adames has really gotten fxcked over by the WBC. Adames would benefit from being a free agent.

Couldnt agree more. Wbc babysittin mall

Lara is old now and is no longer as athletic. Jermall had a 2 year layoff and has a tune up fight scheduled with jose benavidez. Eubank jr is a coward and won't fight him. Adames don't seem keen either. He may need to move up.

Korobov took charlo to school. Janibek will knock his ass out

Come on ShoulderRoll, just ask Adames if the grass is truly greener on the other side. He's in a similar situation that Andrade was in when he couldn't get GGG or Munguia. What is the benefit of having Lara/Jermall under the same banner if you can't fight them!? At least Janibek is now unified, which Andrade never got the chance to do.

Lara is in his current position because old GGG didn't give a damn anymore. So now inactive Lara can sell his newly upgraded title for a nice payday against a fxcking WW in Danny Garcia. Meanwhile, Jermall is Boxing's resident MIA champion who gets to hold his title hostage for a litany of excuses that the WBC bought.

Janibek is calling them out because he wants to unify, and that's what the fans want to!

MW is a microcosm of everything I hate about boxing: chronic inactivity, promotional/network politics, sanctioning body corruption.

Solid take, agreed
I would add though, Janibek is also part of the same microcosm, in that every once in a while, a fighter comes along who will fight anyone

I hope he gets the fights, the wins and titles, and lines up for one of Canelo’s swan song fights for a nice payday

But all of the negative factors tend to overpower the will of the boxers who desire competition. Many start out that way, and then the "business" aspect corrupts the sporting aspect of boxing. The higher up the ladder you make it, the more it becomes about business.

For example, that's why I'm somewhat disappointed by Jermell. He became Undisputed ("Sport") and then sacrificed it to jump two weights for Canelo ("Business"), when he probably had a reasonable payday waiting for him against Tszyu ("Sport" + "Business" working in harmony).
