    A serious answer please

    They are not the same size as GGG, I could eat my weigh upto HW it wouldn't make me the same size as say an Amir Mansour who is a natural HW with far greater bone density.

    I'm also not calling for GGG to fight Ward or Kovalev, these guys are too big.

    If he can't get Jacobs or Saunders then why not DeGale/Jack winner? Great fighters look up not down.

      Come on..
      More than likely more than Lara. The issue with Lara is that he brings nothing from a financial incentive to at least an exciting fight. Just someone to give money to for no reason.

      I don't care for a Jarmall fight, he looks way too low level to me. I want the Jacobs fight, the Eubank fight, Canelo and the supermiddleweight king (after Ramirez fights the Jack-Degale winner).

      I dont see the point of moving up right now. I dont give a *** about Saunders though because him as the fighter couldn't have come across as more of a potential quit job when the fight happens.

        Look at Golovkins early fights and tell me he looks like a 160lbers. He looks like hes fighting out of superwelterweight. He is for sure closer to the lightmiddleweight than supermiddleweights. He's just older than them and grown into a more fully fledged middle.

            He isn't bigger though. GGG is used to operating and functioning at the weight, Charlo isn't.
            Look at GGG wrists, forearms compared to Charlo. He has far greater bone density. He is naturally the bigger man.

            Sure he could eat his way bigger doesn't mean he should or it'd be beneficial in anyway, shape or form.

            People say GGG is small but he isn't he has big wrists, forearms and a wide back. He's a decent sized MW and well proportioned.

                Charlo is a HUGE 154 fighter. People talk about Canelo but this kid is a giant compared to him. There has been talk of him moving up for over a year already, he's not having to eat himself to 160. GGG may be better suited because he's been fighting there a while but I bet numbers wise Charlo is not in any way " small" compared to GGG. Also, it gives us a decent fight to watch with GGG involved instead of another no hope guy.

                  He's a good sized MW. Not huge but certainly not small.

                  Charlo is naturally a small guy, skinny as hell. He isn't a MW if he didn't do weights he'd no doubt be a scrawny as hell WW or something.

                  35 opponents, only 5 or so (I'm not sure its even that) have been career MWs. If he can't get BJS, Jacobs then DeGale/Jack **** even a Groves or something there are guys there and ones that do a whole lot more than an unheard of, 154lb fighter who may not even be in the top 2 of his weight class.

                  I've gotta step out now but I'll jump back on after dinner.

                    Not this again

                    Lemieux .....now THAT is a small MW.

                    Gigi is not a small MW...he just has small balls.

                    Dude lacks ambition...it's not in his blood or culture to dare to be great.

                      He is fairly tall for the weight but he is not a big guy and certainly not a MW. Look how skinny his wrists and such is, he has a very small frame.



                      Your body takes time too adjust but like I said I gotta step up, peace.
