Does Jermall Charlo deserve a title shot?

[Sid-Knee]

But Golovkin and Abel are still saying they want to be active and fight 3 or 4 times a year

Well if that's the case, Charlo will eventually get his shot. But he just has to be patient.

Plain and simple....

Does Jermall Charlo deserve a shot at GGG's WBC title?

Charlo is currently the WBC interim champion and is 27-0 with 21 KOs




if you are struggling with that question lets all remember GGG being the WBC mando and lots of people crying on the forum when Sergio Martinez picked Miguel Cotto to defend the WBC ti.......

oh wait GGG wasn't even the mando it was Marco Antonio Rubio and some of ya was STILL crying about it.

Daniel Jacobs was arguably the first legit middleweight that Golovkin ever stepped into the ring with (Daniel Geale and Martin Murray might count too).

Jermall Charlo's resume is what it is but from the Bundrage fight in 2015, Charlo has been solely put in with solid to good competition.

Where was Golovkin at 27-0? Likely crowing over beating Matthew Macklin, of all people.

He does because he's a mando.

How he got the spot is another story. But hey, he's a Haymon guy, so taking the path of least resistance comes with territory...add to that trash talking and posting gay ass hashtags for j.razors of the world to have something to get excited about and voila! - Charlo is a threat and Golovkin is ducking him lol.

Worked for Wilder so why wouldn't it work for Charlo. Always the same with (some of) you Yanks.

Anyway, bring it on. Watching Golovkin break him and his fans spirits will be amusing.

Charlo talks about being and acts like a tough guy. But the difference beetwen him and GGG is that Golovkin is an actual tough guy, he doesn't have to say it. And a better boxer too.

Golovkin by humiliation. Bring it on.

He got the spot just like any other champ that vacates his title to move up. Do you have a problem with Crawford getting a title shot at 147 in his first fight? Or how Manny got title shots at vacant belts. There's a whole list of guys not with Haymon that got title shots without beating no one of note or moving up. Manny is fighting Mathysse for a title that both don't even deserve.

No, he hasn't got to be patient. He has got to stop talking an fight someone a lot better than Centeno. If Jacobs wants the fight and Charlo, who clearly has no better fight, has excuses, then how can anyone support that? The guys ahead of Charlo in the Golovkin queue have done more, much more.

[filup79]

If you mean by "deserve" that he has done something to earn a shot, then no. If you use reality tv logic then yes, of course.

If he doesn't deserve a shot than you could argue there's a list of fighters that don't deserve the title shots they're getting. Does Vanes deserve a title shot? Crawford? Mathysse and Manny? Brook?

[Dean_Razorback]

yes. he holds the same belt GGG hold before canelo vacated the real one. saying no would be hypocritical. also it would be a really good fight. especially for GGG now that it seems that everyone is willing to fight him finally

Haha, I never said Charlo is ahead of Jacobs in getting the fight. Just said Charlo had to be patient because there are better fights before he gets his chance.

[TX_BOXNG]

GGG is on his way out, he could barely beat Canelo lol who Floyd beat so easily, but for money reasons hes chasing a rematch wtf lol n now hes fighting Vanes who is Charlos left over

Leave biggg drama show alone

Charlo vs Jacobs

What exactly have they done? Jacobs is still fighting nobodies and his biggest win is against KId Chocolate. Has Jacobs even been a real champ? People have no problem when its non Haymon guys getting title shots after beating nobodies or moving up. At least Charlo was the real IBF champ at 154 and not some secondary champ. He like any other champ that vacates and moves up will get a high ranking or a title shot quickly. Crawford is getting a title shot and hasnt done **** at 147, but I'm sure you're ok with that.
