Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo Post Korobov: 'We Want Golovkin, Canelo'

I agree with you. A fighter like Golovkin has to and most likely believe he would win against a guy like Andy Lee, but the question is how decisive. I insinuated his handlers. Mate, when Lee won the WBO, isn't it common sense for a gang whom cheered for all the belts at least make headlines for Lee? They've got nothing to lose since top fighters have many options. Its just rather inconsistent that GGG's team didn't push an agenda for Lee's WBO when he had it, considering they originally were planned to fight. I call a spade a spade, and yes, Lee is a Southpaw.

Ok, so he is a Southpaw. He was still a Southpaw in the amatures and he got beat.

Brian Vera was always a 168 fighter imo, a bit too much for Lee at the time. And Chavez Jr. in my opinion was the biggest grockel in the sport when he was Champion. I feel he was juiced to the gills against Lee.

Yeah Chavez would be nowhere with a different last name.

GGG is just a gate keeper

Yeah, finally

Well, both guys were pretty egregious weight cutters - Chavez Jr among the worst I've seen and a very strong argument for returning to same day weigh ins or at the very least rehydration limits. I remember when Jr was (until he fought Maravilla) regarded - or being sold - in much the way Canelo is now, though he was a much inferior fighter as became apparent as soon as he started stepping up to guys closer to his own size. And yeah - you certainly ain't alone in your belief that Jr was at the very least hammering on the diuretics and likely went much further.

Andy was outboxing both and quite clearly up on the cards until the sheer size of Jr began to tell, though in the case of the Vera fight (which was a bit of an early stoppage if I recall right) it was more like he was wobbled a bit and a bit taken aback by having someone who was taking his big shots and fighting back (much like the inexperienced Lemieux got into trouble with El Veneno when he didn't immediately fold).

Thing is I like Andy Lee (hell, to be fair there's very few fighters I don't like) - watched him here in Manchester when he fought Saunders, but that is about his level... mid to lower end top 10 dude, good enough to maybe get a strap but not good enough to keep it for long.

Nobody is thinking about the Charlo's.. after those last performances, both their stocks went down, A LOT.

He doesn't even believe his own self when he says he's still the best lol

Pathetic. This guy just lost to Korobov and has the audacity to call out Canelo or GGG. Canelo better not take the easy touch with this sack of s*** next. GGG would murder him he should stay fighting cans.

[robbyheartbaby]

amateurs don't mean anything, stop it. Would you put weight that because Danny Garcia beat Crawford in the ams that he would beat Crawford again? Point system and headgear don't mean anything in the pros.

Why didn't Abel Sanchez, Loeffler, or Gennady make headlines wanting Andy Lee when he won the WBO belt, for the fight that postponed initially?

Jesus sweet Christmas my man are you suggesting Andy Lee could beat GGG?! It would be a f***ing homicide what the f**** wrong with everyone on here?!

Charlo should call out Jacobs or Andrade not canelo or GGG. Charlo to me beats Andrade but loses to GGG, Canelo, Jacobs.

[rickJen]

Is he mentioning their names because he knew Canelo is focused on GBP fighters like Lemieux and Mungia?
And maybe he counted on Loeffler saying "GGG won't fight Charlo?"

Why does he keep ignoring Jacobs' name as if he doesn't exist?
I know why. It's because Jacobs called his bluff and he stopped mentioning him since.

[Loque-san]

If Golovkin is still around in 2020, Jermall may be able to beat him, but he's never beating Canelo.
