Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Charlo Not a Marquee Name, Saunders Better

charly needs to fight and beat a top 10 middleweight before he gets a title shot somebody like jacobs

[skinnystev]

charly would be made to look like a stumblebum vs BJS at 160 so far he has fought 2 mismatches at 160 and he thinks he is number 1 contender deluded fool

I don't really understand what charlos done to be considered a 'huge risk' he's not beaten anyone above C level at middleweight and he hardly took on all comers at 154. He seems to be ducking Jacobs like the plague too

At what point did Charlo duck Danny? Danny chose to go sign an exclusive deal with HBO. Then he fought Arias and Selecki. Nobody forced him to do that. If Danny really wanted that fight he would've stayed on Showtime and made it happen. Instead he chose to chase the Canelo money trail. Understandable, but don't act like Charlo is the reason they haven't met.

These "ducking Jacobs" comments are of the casual variety

Just always an excuse as to why charlos haven't fought anyone. Lots of other fighters seem to have no problem getting tough fights yet these guys get a free pass.

Again, I know you're not a casual, you just act like you don't know all the details lol

Question: Has Charlo been the favorite going into all of his fights?

When you say a guy "hasn't fought anyone" the answer to that question usually dispels that assertion. I'll give you a hint. He wasn't.

In fact both brothers were picked to lose several of their fights, and all of a sudden when they won (to the surprise of a lot of people) now people want to call them hype jobs lol

Reality is both have exceeded the expectations that many had for them, and right on time, the deniers want to move the goal post

Who have they beat man? I can't think of many fighters they weren't favourites against. I can't think of a single world level fighter they've fought between them and there's been plenty of them available in the weights they've fought in. Trout was damaged goods and he damn near nearly beat jermall lol. And there's only one reason they are getting hype and that s because they can say jermall is a boogeyman for golovkin. If you're American and undefeated in the same division as him you'll get hyped.

[Slowhand]

Charlo would probably be a much more entertaining foe than BJS but he brings very little, no belt, less money.. Golovkin is running out of time so he can´t choose fun over significance at this point. Just a guess.

[Patsfan bri]

Well if he won’t fight Charlo he better not fight murata .

[ShoulderRoll]

If you want to duck Charlo that's fine. Just give up the WBC belt then be on your way.

[ThatDude44]

Noticed you left something out. He fought Vanes on short notice after the Canelo mess. Charlo's name is not much bigger than Vanes or Munguia either lol. I would also take into account the difficulty to make a fight quickly with the people Charlo is associated with.

Well, there was his mandatory that would've been a respectable scrap.
