Comments Thread For: When Will We Learn if Jermall Charlo is Very Good Or Great?

[landotter]

We'll know about Jermall when someone finally signs a contract! Andrade ran from him @ 154! GGG don't want no smoke! WBC should force Canelo to fight him, yet they chose to order GGG...why? My last hope is Jacobs! There's no obstacles standing in the way of that fight, and Oscar has already said Canelo will NOT be facing Jacobs in May, so let's get it!

Golovkin's Promoter: Charlo Fight is Not Going To Happen

https://www.boxingscene.com/golovkin-promoter-charlo-fight-not-going-happen--133201

If GGG, Jacobs, and Canelo don't want it, I hope Al Haymon puts together Jermall Charlo vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko! I'll accept that!

Well, yeppers. That is a good fight. Sergiy comes to fight, and he needs a bigger name to rebound from the Jacobs loss. Perfect.

He is obviously very freaking good. He will get his shots, then we will know if he is great. I do not think he has been avoided. On top of the promotional issues, I think he is just now making a name for himself among the casual fan. I think if he gets that first big name fight he will become bankable and more big fights come his way. I do not hold his resume against him. He has beaten everyone convincingly, and that is what you do when you are fighting to build it up and in the ring with "B" level opponents. Charlo is fine. Stay active, show up at everyone's fights, keep the pressure on.

Just now making a name? He's been a champ since 2015 at 154.

Vada avoiding, top level competition avoiding contender at best is now being called great in this article? 100 bucks says good old haymon sponsored this article.

People really underrate his wins over William's and Trout. I have no doubt he is beats Canelo. The GGG and Jacob's fights are tougher matchups

**** sucks for Jermall... he's obviously a good fighter but he's caught in the high-threat low-reward trap. All the dude can do is trust in his management to put the best guys they can get in front of him and make sure he keeps doing what he's got to do.

I doubt the WBC are gonna put much pressure on Canelo to make it happen, but if he keeps knocking dudes out the title shot will probably come eventually. Would like to Jermall vs Golovkin or Jermall vs Jacobs, but neither is looking particularly likely any time soon. Derevyanchenko was mentioned by someone too - now that's a decent fight that might be easier to make.

When he gets out of his I'm a just a prospect mentality. He's almost 30

Yep, right now he's too big a risk with too little reward for the top dogs. Once he starts bringing $ to the table, and keeps generating momentum, the top guys will need to fight him..

Good read...

I'd rather see GGG pack it in, I fear the lions are too much for the soon to be 37 year old. If he wants to stick around and be ink on Mal's resume, so be it...

Better fights with Jacobs, Andrade, Saunders, hell even Lemieux if he can still make weight.

Great point. I wouldn't mind seeing GGG call it a career sooner rather than later, too.

Good points. He's definitely in the high risk, low reward camp.

When he gets one of the top dogs at MW. The WBC is ordering the GGG fight after the Korobov bout on Saturday so let's see if GGG takes that fight or not. If not, then hopefully the WBC orders the Canelo fight. Though that is highly unlikely and the WBC isn't going to tell Canelo nothing if he fights someone else.

A good start will be for Haymon to make sure he keeps Derevyancehnko for a bit longer and gives him enough money to fight Charlo. That is a high quality MW as seen with his fight with Jacobs. He's just not getting the other top guys unless ordered by one of the sanctioning bodies. Jacobs is his best bet, but he's probably getting Canelo in May.
