Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo: I'll Be Stronger at 160, I Want a Middleweight Title

[RomanReigns]

If he goes Rosado to acclimatize, Korobov to test. and then a title tilt that would be entirely acceptable and a normal way to step up.
I never agreed with all these idiots demanding Golovkin to step up to 168 and fight PfP top 5 Ward in his FIRST fight at 168.

Ward would school that 35 years old in any weight class.

How this guy was making 154 I would never know.

what world class fighters are at 154? Fighters in or around the p4p top 10...

World Class.. as in on the cusp of a world title, former world champs, guys who have won and lost against the top guys in the division and aren't gatekeepers? Is that the answer you're seeking? I can give you a list, and I would love to see yours with guys in 160 that you view as "World Class"

Keen to see what this dude can do at 160, his last fight he showed terrifying power and he is 6'0 so he is a tall middleweight too! Plenty of big options for Jermall like his work.

well if its the so called best division in boxing which many were saying it was in that thread, why isnt there a fighter from it in the top 10? Theres probably not even one in most peoples top 20 list. Is a division with a lot of american fighters, therefore americans say its great. IN reality its a division with no world class fighters, no names, and you couldnt make a big fight in that division if you tried. Quite a few boring fighters in the division too, no personalities.

Canelo is still 154 champ and he is in most people's top 10. Lara probably makes quite a few people's top 20. But then they have depth too as Ipointed out in my previous post.

Currently at 160 you have GGG in top 10 and then? Maybe Jacobs makes top 50. I doubt BJS and Eubank or Lemieux make top 100 p4p.

And now you are expanding your criteria for an exciting division to personalities and nationalities. Think again.

Briggs has personality and Haye. maybe they should fight and suddenly HW would be the most competitive division according to your strange criteria.

I'd love to see Charlo vs Eubank JR from a sheer styles point of view. Both solid boxer/punchers but with enough differences in style such as orthodox, unorthodox, that could be exciting. The winner establishes a genuine contender at 160.

Another problem added for Canelo the duck with no incentive.

His brother beat Rosado 3 years ago. No need for that fight.

just an example - someone at that level to acclimatize.

just an example - someone at that level to acclimatize.

Fight Fernando Guerrero.

He looked like he's at 180 when he fought Williams.
