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

[Kigali]

Let me know when two top guys at 154 fight each other. Atleast unify.

154 > 160

Charlo is growing on me.
He's c*cky without coming off as arrogant.
I would love to see him face GGG. That would be a fantastic build up. Especially if both Charlos talk trash.

will Yeleussinov ever turn pro?

[EL_GRINGO]

Assuming Golovkin still has a belt.

true,i highly respect charlo,not beating around the bush,moving up and wanting to face golovkin and takes his belts,he deserves props for that

154 > 160

154 is meaningless when top fighters dont fight each other. GGG vs Jacobs > better than any two top fighters 154.

[rrayvez]

Kind of get the feeling that should ggg beat Jacobs and if Canelo beats Chavez Jr, golden boy will find a reason not to fight ggg in September as they discussed with the hopes that Canelo can get to the weak link in Saunders instead and hope ggg fights Charlo to further delay the fight while weakening Canelo's biggest threats.

[boxingitis]

HAHAHAHA people here suggeting him vs GGG? You want to see Charlo getting totally destroyed in his first fight at 160? Haymon would NEVER, ever ever let that happen and even the Charlos themselves know they'd need more than a miracle to even survive more than 6 rounds vs GGG.

That kid has to fight some low tier opponents first, let him beat somebody of the caliber of Korobov, Khurtszide or Monroe Jr. and i doubt even he fights these kinds of middleweights, he'll take on even a lower tier guy that has no chance like Akavov, Ishe Smith or Gabe Rosado.

People want Canelo vs GGG in Canelos first fight, why not Charlo vs GGG. People wanted GGG va Ward at 168 in his first fight.

154 is more talented than 160. 160 are full of bums outside of Golovkin, and Jacobs.

Tell me when two top 154 fight each other. They are bums collecting belts the same way 130 diviosion is. Those guys at 154 are unproven because they havent face top opponents.

I know this is a troll, but if you take a look at the top 15 fighters at the weight, it's obviously the most competitive division in boxing. (Not to mention the star power.) It's called the "glamour" division for a reason.

I love how you revert to call me a troll, because I've questioned something you've not taken the care to think about properly. Great response.

The top 15 competitive ? Thats literally the same in most divisions. That's because they are all on the same lower level, apart from the Brook/Spence winner, Pacquaio and Garcia/Thurman winner. Thats all you have. Pacquiao is cashing out. Spence/Thurman could be all hype yet. Both unproven. That is the welterweight elite offering.

I could compare that roster to 160 - Golovkin, Jacobs and Canelo. Saunders, Hassan, Lemiuex and Eubank sitting beneath them. Yet 160 is abysmally weak according to you. The difference isn't really that big..

Glamour and star power have no bearing on it being a strong division. Thats simply you being fooled by media coverage and hype. If you want a strong division, go look at Cruiserweight, 175 or 130.

[Realizniguhnit]

Anyone who thinks Charlo is ready to just move up and get right in with GGG is delusional but people won't believe it till they see it..

I can almost see Charlo's face expression now after the 1st solid punch GGG lands...

Same will happen to 160, Haymons manuevering to take control of middleweight, getting his fighters in position to fight for vacant titles when Golovkin vacates
