Comments Thread For: Erickson Lubin: I'm Ready To Be Great, I Want To Unify 154

I think he can do it.

Lubin has been pretty open about his motivation for taking the Charlo fight: Jermell looked ordinary against Vanes and Jackson (prior to the stoppage) and he views the KO of Hatley as a bit of a mirage given that fighter's quality. I'm excited to see if Lubin can make this giant step up.

All those guys are levels above anyone Lubin has fought.

Lubin should win this fight. It's good for the sport.
Show Lara, Andrade and other clowns out there that there is life
without leeching off of someone's hard work and popularity like Glovkin, Cnelo, Cotto, etc.

This Charlo is not as mean as his brother ...but, man, I can't help but think they're rushing this kid into a confidence ending beating.

There's been young guys that ran into the wrong "gatekeeper", and they're never the same.

It would be nice if Lubin pulled it off, but I think Charlo might be a little too much for him right now. But aye if he can get the upset win that'll be cool to see at such a young age. You also have to look at Charlo he's wanting to prove a point as well, that he doesn't get the respect he deserves and that chip on his shoulders might spell trouble for Lubin. But it should be a great fight to watch.

Why would Spence leave the money division for 154??

I like this kid's confidence, will be an interesting fight.

I'll be impressed if he lasts the full 12 and gives a good account of himself.
I still think its a tall order going up against a proven and ambitious champion as Charlo.
I suspect Lubin is in for a rude awakening.

I would not be surprised if he meets the same fate as Charles Hatley.

Some of you guys really overrate Jermell Charlo. Lol. Him vs Lubin is evenly matched up. That is why its intriguing

Nobody wants him in the money division.
Question is where would he go?
154 is even worse. Top fighters avoid each other.
He'll have to skip 154 and jump straight to MW.

Erikson, my friend..... Have you not seen the way of the Haymon 154 carousel? The champions don't fight each other, they only talk about it then fight someone in the clergy or someone you gotta boxrec to find out who they are...or they fight Austin Trout who despite losing every big fight the last few years gets title fight after title fight thrown his way... So hopefully you got loads of time on your hands to do this " unifying"
