Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Charlo Has To Earn Shot, Not in Jacobs' Class!

[Scipio2009]

The funniest part about Abel Sanchez talking **** is that JS Heiland, even on a bad wheel, is likely a world better than whomever Golovkin knocked off for that WBA interim belt, before being handed the wba, WBA, and WBC belts at 160 (Basically got handed the IBF belt too, tbh).

Sanchez sees what everyone else sees, and is doing his dance. He sees a big, strong, young, athletic, and well-schooled middleweight just coming into his frame, and is ducking like no one's business.

No different from Thurman rejecting Spence pre Kell Brook fight.
Same Thurman making a fool of himself calling out Malignaggi in his presscon.



So I guess this thing is kind of normal.

Dirty Sanchez has a point. I dont particularly like for guys to just skip the line and get a shot at the #1 guy without paying any dues. Charlo and his brother are great but let Jermall at least get his feet wet. Put him in with Lemieux, Jacobs, Stevens, Willie Monroe, Murray who ever. Feed him a couple live bodies and let him make some real noise so that the demand for the fight is unavoidable.

You sound like you don't want Jermall to put a whoopin on your boy but its ok for kell brook to jump up two weight classes to fight lil g right????

[j.razor]

Abel isn't wrong, but he should have just said our next three fights are basically planned, after that we'll look to see who the biggest opponent is.

After you fight a welterweight (kell brook) then tell someone else he needs to earn a shot then you are wrong.

Funny part is Glovkin has been asked to move up and fight the #2 p4p.
These guys like Charlo move up to fight a nobody.
Kills me.

This is a very strange comment. If they don't want to fight Charlo, just say it. Otherwise there's a long list of bums GGG fought that didn't exactly do much to earn it as evidence that Sanchez is full of ****.

Like Jacobs is some ATG. BUT, this fight (Jacobs-Charlo) would be interesting.

Yes it does but let them clean out the division 1st so we can get all the fake s**t out (lil g) in 2017.....

[j.razor]

GGG fought Stevens, Lemieux, then went out of his way to accommodate Jacobs just so he could fight Jacobs, and now he's fighting Canelo, but you think he is ducking? This is the guy who agreed to fight Dmitry Pirog, the man who knocked out Jacobs, for like 100 grand or something on regular HBO, and signed the contracts and everything. It was going to happen until Pirog injured his back in training.

But you think he's ducking? Come on. What Abel is saying is that these guys are barely better known than Willie Monroe Jr., so if they're willing to get paid like Willie Monroe Jr. to fight GGG, the fights can happen tomorrow, or as soon as GGG has a free date, but if these guys think they're superstars, and expect to get paid like superstars when they fight GGG, then they better be able to bring the fans and pay-per-view buys that superstars bring, and in order for them to do that, they need to actually fight some guys and become better known the way GGG has.

If they want to get paid like superstars, then they need to actually take some good fights so they can become superstars. Simple. Jacobs took a step in that direction by fighting Quillin, and that's why Jacobs got the purse he wanted to make the GGG fight, otherwise he would have ducked GGG too. Abel is saying if Charlo wants that type of payday, he needs to do the same thing at 160 by beating someone like Jacobs, or if Jacobs wants an even higher payday to rematch GGG than the first fight, then Jacobs needs to keep building his name by beating someone like Charlo. GGG isn't a ducker like a lot of boxers you are used to.

This is ducking. They don't want no parts of Jermall. I called this as soon as Jermall Charlo announced his move to 160.

[j.razor]

Abel is right saying Charlo has done nothing to earn a title shot at 160 - Heiland came into the fight lame in one leg, ffs - but that's boxing politics at work.

Whether he earned it or not, Charlo is now No1 contender for GGG's WBC title, and if he asks for his shot, or the WBC order the fight themselves, GGG will have to defend against him. And GGG will defend against him, no doubt about that.

Jermall Charlo would spank your boy lil g & that is why sanchez don't want him in there & apparently lil g fans don't want it either....lmao....scared little punks.

"want no parts of Jermall"

he hasn't done anything at the weight...let the man build some real momentum first. I'm sure he would agree that the GGG fight can use some good ol fashioned marinating.

as for fight positioning...GGG's perfect world he has the upcoming Canelo fight + possible rematch, then WBO unification. So Jermall will have to be patient, the WBC won't enforce that mandatory over a WBO unification (or a Canelo rematch, GGG is still paying fees on that)
