I know im labelled as a bit of a PBC hater but this guy Jermall Charlo keeps proving over and over that he is a decent Boxer but he will always struggle and lose against the top boys of the division. Hes just not good enough. Last nights performance proved it yet again. Hes good, but hes not good enough.
He really should not of been handed the WBC full title without having to fight WBC number 2 for it as a vacant belt. But he has got it now, had it handed to him and the cynical side of me tells me the PBC are going to soft match him as best they can and the WBC will facilitate that the best that they can too as they have done many times before with fighters they seem to favour for one reason or another.
But ignoring my cynical bit there i still dont like to see a fighter who hasnt proved he can handle the best at the division be gifted a world title without even having to fight for it. That belt should of been up for grabs and after watching Jermall Charlo be nothing more than average in yet another fight it really nails my point to the wall.
In defence of the WBC and Charlo i conceed that last nights fight was made well before Charlo was given a world title. So lets hope the next opponent for Charlo and the belt is a high level guy who deserves his shot. But I bet it isnt. I bet some no name all of a sudden rockets up the WBC Middleweight rankings without having done anything.
