Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo: I'm Ready, Bring on The Biggest Names at 160!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York - Undefeated Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) made his debut at 160-pounds with a stoppage of Argentine contender Jorge Sebastian Heiland (29-5-2, 16 KOs) in the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. The stoppage came at 2:13 of the fourth round after Charlo delivered a devastating left hook followed by a big right to end the fight.

He might be ready, but his trainer was singing a different tune just a couple days ago in an interview I heard. They asked him if Jermall would fight Jacobs, and he said, "For what? Jacobs just fought for the middleweight championship and lost, so now he has to get back in line."

There are four relevant guys at 160 right now besides GGG: Daniel Jacobs, David Lemieux, Canelo, and Billy Joe Saunders. GGG already fought and beat the first two, and he's about to fight the third (and then the fourth in December probably if he wins), so what makes Jermall Charlo so ****ing privileged that he can't even be bothered to fight one of them in order to build his name a little so it's actually worth GGG's while, financially, to pay him the ridiculous money you know he's going to demand to fight GGG?

GGG will have fought all four by the end of the year, if things go to plan. Charlo can't even fight one? His trainer says "For what?" Seriously?? For legacy. For ****ing money, since you will make way more fighting Jacobs than you will fighting ****ing Heiland. For star power and resumé.

You know the real reason for Charlo to fight and beat Jacobs? Because if he don't, he don't even ****ing deserve next. Yeah that's right. Until Charlo actually goes and does something about it like a true fighter would, Jacobs already got next. Because Jacobs actually stepped up already and gave GGG a competitive enough fight where fans would like to see a rematch. Now if Charlo can beat Jacobs, that shine will transfer to Charlo, and now all the fans asking for a GGG-Jacobs rematch will be demanding GGG-Charlo instead. But until he does that, those fans still want to see the GGG-Jacobs rematch, not GGG-Charlo.

And if Canelo comes close to beating GGG? Then he will have next, too.

And if David Lemieux knocks out Cotto or something? He might even jump in line for a rematch ahead of Charlo. Because ever since knocking out JRoc, the only notable win of Charlo's entire career, all he has done is sit out the better part of a year, and then fight a one-legged can. If he thinks that's enough to get him the GGG fight, he's dreaming.

But that's the secret, isn't it? Charlo never wanted the GGG fight, and he still don't. Abel Sanchez has been saying all year that GGG will move up to 168 after he unifies the division. So what this is really about is posturing. Haymon got the WBC to make Charlo the #1 contender so that once GGG moves up, Charlo can fight one of his guys for the belt.

Or, knowing the corruption that goes on and how much influence Haymon has with the WBC, maybe Charlo will just become champion automatically, without even having to fight anyone. Because apparently, that's just the way Ronnie Shields likes it.

Lemiuex, Jacobs and GGG should line up

[Shadoww702]

??? He didn't injure his knee in the 1st round. He was already hurt... Go back and watch his right ankle/foot. It was wrapped.And his knee was HEAVILY wrapped before the fight. They made him take it all off. You don't have to lie about this???

I'm going to give Charlo the benefit of the doubt here. It doesn't make even the slightest bit of sense for him to fight Jacobs now. He's the mandatory for the winner of Canelo/GGG. He waits his turn and he'll should get his title shot. So why take a fight against someone like Jacobs before either of those other possibilities happens. Charlo only just moved up to 160. He should take on progressive tougher opposition but no reason to jump into a Jacobs fight before his title shot.

I wouldn't mind seeing him go up against trial horses like Andy Lee or Martin Murray. Next. Lee is a risky but beatable opponent while Murray is a tough guy who should give Charlo rounds.

A nice effort against the guy who was a B fighter... but I seriously doubt and remember this in the next year he fights anyone that is rated #5 or better...

Well SAID!!! This is "real boxing talk.

So he derived all of that from a post fight statement and something the guys trainer said last week? Didn't the whole Sanchez deal make folks realize that trainers don't speak for boxers or for promoters? Last year the same guy was screaming about how Sanchez blow hard statements weren't Trips so folks couldn't call Trip a duck.

Charlo is in the driver seat for a good money fight. Mando to trip or soft touch for the WBC title and bigger fights.

Jermall just became the WBC #1 contender. That means he is due a title shot at the WBC belt.

That's what puts him in a "privileged" position.
