He may need to find opponents who can't punch.

Yeah his punch resistance doesn't seem that great.

John Thompson or Willie Nelson would be good come back opponents, then he could fight Tony Harrison for the vacant IBF if Jermall moves up. After that get Austin Trout like he wanted before.

Based on getting stopped by what might be the division's hardest puncher?

Lets wait and see how he holds up to other punchers. Even after getting dropped by the power jab, he got up and took over the rest of that round. If anything he showed good resilience similar to HNN.

I like JRock and he obviously has talent. There are plenty of fights for him at 154. He can rebound quite nicely. No shame in getting put out by a guy with such a good punch. No shame in stepping up for challenges and risking your 0. It's how you respond in your following matches that will determine how you're remembered. Let's go!!

Trout got hit with those same punches and didn't fold! I like Williams and actually picked him to win the fight and still think he's a good fighter that will be a champion one day. I still think his punch resistance might not be the best like Danny Jacobs but I still think both are helluva fighters.

Fair enough, you might be right and Julian might be like Khan, Bute, Linares, Jacobs - where it doesn't take much to flip his switch off. I hope not, but he's likely not a Hagler chin either.

Thing about Trout was he wasn't fighting as aggressive as Julian. Julian left himself exposed going after Charlo, where Trout was more responsible and probably knows better how to take punches after fighting guys like Canelo and Cotto. The lack of drug testing for this last fight also leaves a cloud of uncertainty also.

Yep, Terry Norris did alright after getting KO'd by Julian Jackson.

You also have to consider the manner of how he went down, arms flailing and legs all over the place, as powerful as Charlo undoubtedly is JRock is chinny. The question is whether he has the skills to still be a world champion which he probably does as long as he doesn't face fighters of Charlo's calibre and power.
