    Who do you want Jermell Charlo to face next?

    I just watched his fight against Rosado, very good skillset Jermell has. He can move his legs, body from the waist, his head, and he can counter off those movements. He had a noticeable counter left hook he caught Rosado with throughout the fight.

    Hasn't been dropped in his pro career. I'm thinking the loser of Canelo/Angulo match would be a great stepup choice for Jermell Charlo.

          Alright fight against Trout.. Trout's lack of accuracy and his pitter pat punches and Charlo's responsible defense would be the deciding factor. I think Charlo would possibly make Trout look slow.

            I agree, someone at the lower half of the top 10 in the division, all of these are good choices, maybe the winner of K-9 and Hernandez (although they will become ibf mandatory). Theres no reason to rush this kid, he has incredible talent and if he keeps stepping up his competition each fight and staying active hell be fighting the top guys in the division in no time. His brother on the other hand i think was completely rushed into this championship fight and i think his lack of competition prior to this fight will ultimately be the difference.

              I was impressed with his brothers performance last month. It wasn't against good competetion but he exhibited similar high boxing prowess and skillset as Jermell. You're right though both brothers don't need be rushed.

                I saw his last fight, he definitely seems like a capable fighter. I wouldn't be shocked if he won. But molina seems to give guys fits in the ring for some reason and I think the best way to counter that is to be able to out think and adjust to his awkward style and I just don't think Jermall has fought enough at a level that will enable him to do that. Who knows, maybe the promoters saw something I didn't thats the reason they make all the money and I post on forums

                  Trout isn't bad as posted but god no Molina I wish to never see. You can give him the winner or loser of the Canelo/Angulo fight but I feel he'd fair better against Angulo based on styles, also for the more exciting of the two matchups. You can put him in with Andrade if you'd like as well, though I'd perfer Angulo then Trout then Canelo/Lara in that order. Mainly because based on styles Can/Lara would be less exciting. Trout isn't a good style match up either but he's shown he'll be some kind of aggressive if he's not dictating pace, and easily falls into the opponents.

                    Is Kirkland a free agent or is he tied down with TR and Bob?

                    I would love Charlo vs Kirkland.
