    If they fight him before he proves himself then that is ok. But its better if he gets in with a top contender first.
    I agree but you can't tell these guys the truth they go crazy..it's better for G to fight him first in terms of winning. Financially though it doesn't make sense.

      What financial sense did it make to fight Wade?

      He was a Mando that didn't have to wait for his title shot.

        Same for Canelito.

          Assuming Golovkin beats Canelo, his next 2 fights should be Saunders or another wbo holder, then the ibf Mando. Then it's charlo.

          I think Golovkin takes this fight easily as well. Charlo hasn't has to handle the pressure, and is moving up from 154. He's a mini, less skilled, less tough version of Jacobs right now.

            let him fight jacobs or lemieux 1st, if he can whoop either of them, golovkin might accept his chalenge
            GG fans want to put the Charlo fight off as long as possible...

            They are just like the AJ fans that aren't in a hurry to see him fight Wilder.

                Holy **** the hypocrisy is too rich to believe. You're a Floyd fan, right? Floyd always used that excuse to duck guys. It's all about risk reward. Nobody established wants to make peanuts to fight a good fighter.

Why all the roadblocks for Charlo??? Rosado came straight to 160 and got a shot(where did he prove himself)???

                  Ya'll are full of **** and refuse to just admit ya'll want no parts of Charlo as ya'll feel he is a threat
                  First off, Brook was regarded by most at the time as the best welter, or at the very least 2nd. Top fighters from one division should fight top fightes from another. That is quite literally boxing.

                  As for the complaints regarding those others fighters, I get get behind some of them. Monroe and Wade were trash and still are...then again one of them is getting a title shot.

                  However you can't group someone like Rosado in there, as the fight was sandwiched between GGG fighting the top mw Proksa in europe and one of the top contenders in macklin (arguably wba champ).

                  Now that Charlo has to work his way through eliminators (don't know how fighting a disabled man can be considered such) is at least a step in the right direction. You should be happy about this considering you're complaining about fights like Wade and so on. If Charlo works up another 2 fights or s oat mw against top opposition, he would be a worthy opponent. Is that not what you want?

                    He has to do no such thing.

                    Charlo is ALREADY the WBC mandatory

                      Charlo just fought, Canelo v GGG is happening next, hopefully the boxing media would start the hype on Charlo too, the same way they did when GGG beat Proska back in 2012. And whilst Charlo beat stiff and fringe competition we can all call him the most ducked fighter if he doesn't get an opportunity right away.
