Can Jermall Charlo be a superstar??

[Kigali]

Compared to any Haymon fighter, GGG is more popular. That's a given. Look, fans want to see fighters fight 2-3 times a year. These Haymon fighters fight once a year. It's terrible.

Compared to any Haymon fighter GGG is old.

Boxing is a young man's sport.

He can be a star if he fights more frequently. Twice a year won't cut it if he wants the public to know the difference between him and his brother. He's a good fighter to watch. Bad intentions and that knockout is as good as you'll see.

Young fighters have no reason to fight once a year. Look at the Haymon fighters who are now fighting once a year. Thurman, Broner, the other Charlo, Lara, Porter, Peterson (this guy has disappeared), Andrade, etc.

a superstar? he's really not a big draw at the moment. i don't see a ton of network backing, either. i think he can be a good fighter on TV and make a lot of money, but he'd need to beat golovkin or canelo to really cross over and become a star.


also, he's "controversial" i guess, but the guy has the personality of a stick of broccoli.

Very hard to be a star in the Haymon camp. Even the cab driver who beat Guerrero was never heard from again. Berto has been inactive for how many months now? It's terrible. I don't know what these people, Espinoza, Haymon are doing.

[Scipio2009]

will all come down to if they can find a base for him to sell tickets from

The Toyota Center is situated right there in downtown Houston; doubt that he's ready for that now, but that should be the goal.

The 154lb division is chock-full of a legit young lions, so the matchups should be strong (and there's a decent depth of top-level talent based in the Houston area too), but it'll come down to how much attention Charlo can get in Houston and how he performs in the ring.

Andrade isn't a Haymon fighter you greasy scab.

Look how Walters....he's not with Haymon and he had 2 fights in 2 years.

Oscar and Arum have plenty fighters on the sidelines.

So does GGG but you stay on his lap.

golovkin speaks hardly any english and his personality comes across much better than charlo's. there's a reason golovkin is brought onto espn regularly, etc. he's got a playful, jovial personality that's in complete contrast with how he fights. i'm not saying that he's some kind of charismatic middleweight ali, but the guy has more appeal to casual fans than charlo, who is hardly distinguishable from the other dude who looks just like him and has a virtually identical name. i called him "big charlo" for years, because i didn't give enough of a **** about him to distinguish between him and his brother, who his parents named virtually the same thing. he had to make a name for himself boxing for me to call him jermall.


golovkin is so good that you've become preoccupied with him. he's all you think about

[HanzGruber]

Depends how he handles 160. Haymon doesn't really have anyone there except Jacobs. But gg became a "star" without beating anyone so yea I guess he can
