Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo Comes In 3-Plus Pounds Overweight For Non-Title Fight With Jose Benavidez Jr.

[Corelone]

I'm listening to this interview now. He's not mentally well.

He wasn't right from 2 years ago, and I don't think letting him throttle little men is good therapy.

No compassion or empathy for a drunk/junkie who refuses to help them selves. They make enough excuses for themselves, they don't need me to make them.
IDGAF about Jermall Charlo.I'm not going to pretend to care about some fking drunk because it makes me appear to be a good person. Drop the belt, Fix yourself or STFU and die already. World sucks.'

No, I don't quote you because you express yourself in a morass of cliches & I try, where possible, to use the language more elegantly.

Some of you guys never fought a bigger man. Money might convince you, but you're not looking to win. If I were Jose, I'd go down from the first tap and sell ad space on my shoe soles.

After I moved from 178 to 200, ALL of my fights were against bigger men. Jose is in a **** situation here, if he pulls out he loses a payday. He's also the co main to his brothers PPV card.

That's one of the dumbest things I've seen on this site all week, and that really says something.

What a disgrace. WBC, you paying attention? This is the guy you've been letting hold up the 160 lb division for 3 years.

Jose is in a really terrible spot here. I hope if he does take money that he lands a lucky punch early on and puts that Charlo clean out and retires him for good.

These Charlos are a stain on the sport these days.

They need to start putting some some serious clauses in the contract of guys like him, something like if you miss weight by more than XXX lbs you either get an automatic loss and pay a huge fine, or hell, you give all your side of money to the opponent and will fight for free or something.

At the least if he missed it by less than a pound I can see the argument that he actually tried and is worth trying to go on with the fight with some type of compensation for Jose. To miss by three pounds is already no excuse and should be punished, but to weigh more on the second time is just a plain old FU to not only the opponent but also to the sport.

That's undignified.

That's undignified.

Imagine being David, warming up for your fight and you see your brother take a dive...

As soon as I saw him face off Jose during the presser I predicted he would miss weight. He looked far bigger, so this was totally expected. He should not be fighting but I think they are forcing it to give the Canelo fight some level of credibility when he choses him for May. Canelo will be pissed.

I’m a huge Canelo fight but I will say if that if he fights Jermall next, I will be extremely disappointed.

Jermall clearly doesn’t care about boxing enough to make weight. I don’t see why he should be deserving of the canelo payday and in my opinion, Canelos stock will go down if he chooses to fight him next.

I actually want to know how you would eloquently use the English language to portray how Charlo's disgraceful actions still deserves any kind of empathy or support, became I genuinely can't think of one.

The nicest way I can term it will be "Jermall is no longer in a state where he can continue as a professional boxer, and the organizations should kindly strip him of his title and instead offer him some mental health support"
