    I think Aleem vs Charlo is a good fight to make right now.

    Immanuel Aleem(the guy who TKOd Khytrov) would be a nice opponent to test the waters.

    Could potentially be the 2nd best at 160 if he adjusts good enough

    Brooks promoters and trainers sacrificed/cashed-out Brooks health and possibly his career. The smart and responsible thing to do would have been fighting a couple MWs to get a feel for the punch before taking on the #1 guy there.

    Thoughts.....

    First...It's just Mallow, so "Charlos" in the plural isnt the proper question to ask.......
    That said, Mallow is IMO, the much stronger brother, though Mellow is definitely the better BOXER, he quite often goes to war when it's completely unnecessary.

    Mallow uses his strengths better, being a giant LMW/MW. Ive always been very high on the Charlo brothers, and have been waiting on their arrival to the MW division for a while.
    Right now, Mallow is a top 5 MW IMO, and IMHO, he'd have little trouble beating the likes of Stevens, Rosado, and NDam.
    MOF....if he's looking to get straight into contention, he should target either NDam, Khurtsidze or Lee.
    Not saying he'd get next crack at GGG or BJS, but it wouldnt hurt his cause.

    His first fight though should defo be against one of the fading contenders like Vera, Rosado, or Stevens.
    either of them would be a solid first win at the weight, and all help Ronnie gauge how his speed and power carry at 160.

    Lol very good point , these are the guys always saying 160 is the worst division in boxing and 154 is one of tehe strongest,

    Yet charlo needs to add just and see if he can handle 160 lmfao

    Considering e rwont have he's huge draining advantage it could be tricky

    PBC has a pretty interesting middleweight roster now, with Sulecki, Derevyenchenko, Aleem and now Jermall Charlo. Any combination of those four could produce some really interesting fight.

    I think Jermall either wins wide or walks into a big counter.
