    Why are people not keen for Jacobs vs Charlo match?

    Got a lot of people saying "But Charlo and Jacobs are mandos, why should they risk each other instead of just waiting it out?"

    Well, If you want to wait out Derecyachenko-Saunders-Canelo-Murata and Jacobs and Charlo is going to be at the bottom of the barrel that's the option, a close to 2-3 years before Charlo or JAcobs could actually fight GGG.

    Why is it that "fans" are content on mandos not fighting each other?

    Why are Golovkin fans content with him picking worse fighters? He just fought Vanes and is now talking about Murata. The challengers should be fighting better comp than the title holder in your opinion?

      This fight makes sense. Let's see what Charlo is made of. If he would get in their and blow Jacobs away that would be impressive and I'd say Charlo is the real deal. Charlo has never fought anyone as good as Jacobs tho so we still don't know how good Charlo really is.

        Not interesting to me because I'd rather see Charlo fight the top dogs right now. It would be a decent fight though. I see Jermall knocking out Danny. He's faster, stronger, with better technique and a better chin from what I've seen thus far.

            Fight would be dope if it got made

            But because the combination of networks / sanctioning orgs/ waiting for bigger fights it probably isn’t going to happen

            Jacobs should fight Andrade and I honestly have no idea what big name opponent Charlo should fight while he waits for Gennady because all the names are with HBO

                It wouldn't make a damn bit of difference who GGG fought. You would be b*tching, moaning and crying about it. I don't hear you complaining about Saunders defending his world title against the 3rd GGG KO victim in a row you phony bias British hypocrite. Murata is his mandatory and a high dollar fight. Canelo isn't even vada enrolled. If he wants to go to Japan and make top dollar more power to him. He recently fought Jacobs and Canelo and was set to fight Canelo again. Canelo and Jacobs are two of the best middleweights in the world so quit pretending GGG only takes easy fights. That would be Saunders.

                  Has nothing to do with content. Has to do with realistic. Jacobs vs. Charlo isn't going to happen. It makes absolutely no sense for it to happen.

                  So if a fight makes no sense and has no chance of happening, what's the point of obsessing over it?

                  One is a Showtime fighter. One is an HBO fighter. One is trying to get the WBC belt. One is trying to get the WBA belt.

                  Both have guaranteed title shots. Fighting each other right now is a completely idiotic business move.

                    Cleaner technique for sure. Danny's boxing gets overrated by the HBO crew. He makes plenty of mistakes. Jermall has great form and fluidity.
                    I'd give Jermall the advantage in hand speed and ability to transition too.

                    I liked Danny, but he's really not the great boxer people try to make him out to be. And, his chin will fail him against Jermall.
