    And a former WW arguably beat and drew with GGG, who is nowhere as good as SRL.

    Yes you could also say the charlos have no backing becuase they fight irregularly on haymon cards.

    Tbf Warrington has a serious following in leeds

    I like Charlo brothers. One of the reasons is that they are twins, and I can't remember such successful twins in boxing game.

    Both won the belts and are still unbeaten, both scored some spectacular KOs.

    Don't see the reason why dislike them?

    I love the intensity that these guys bring into the ring. They are young, hungry, and as talented as they come. Though Jermall is my favorite of the two because he seems to have more power, Jermell is fast growing on me as well. That KO of Lubin was the result of superb punch placement and great reflexes more than anything else. The Charlos are great at capitalizing on their opponents' mistakes.

    Yeah I agree, I like them too.

    There's very little reason to dislike them. I know their talk can sound abrasive but behind it both are actually good guys.

    Perform us another soliloquy on how the Charlo's have to act like thugs on purpose to widen their exposure. Yet you cast aspersions on others motives while trumpeting some the most toxic idealogues on this board.

    They play the cringy, played out thug role that has been done to death while being weight bullies who are permitted to juice up while their opponents get tested.

    How's that for some reasons?

    You should never use the word toxic especially when considering your toxic racist rhetoric you spew in the lounge
    You're the type who voted for Trump and claims they want to make America great again and are a patriot but then turn right around and root against every American fighter. Log off.

    How long have you followed the Charlo twins for? Read some older interviews and you will that they are decent guys, e.g.:

    https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/jermall-charlo-austin-trout/56326

    Yes they have recently started putting on a thug act, which I don't like, but that isn't enough to make me dislike them. I also thought Jermall should've been more gracious in victory against Williams, although in mitigation Williams had done a heap of trash-talking before the fight.

    But those things overall are minor and in some ways a matter of preference. They're making good fights, they are motivated, and I like how the twins support and motivate each other.

    How do you know they are juiced up? Please no generic "because Haymon/American/ VADA corrupt", etc.

    And yes they are massive at the weight, but I can't blame them for using that advantage if they can make the weight healthy.

    The only boxing twins that were both champions that I know of were the Galaxy brothers (Khaosai and Khaokor) although one of them became more known and is in the Hall of Fame and also an ATG.

    Go check Austin Trout's comment on how he got blood draw five times the week before his fight with the bigger one and Charlo only had to supposidly do a State commission post fight test, same deal went down with the J Rock fight.

    Charlo's are juicing now? Is that your contention?
