    Dude, Charlo may 'LOOK' like Jacobs superficially, but they don't fight the same. Jacob's had power as well. NOt to mention, entered the ring at what many thought looked at the LtHW limit. Charlo going to do that too?

    Right now, Charlo is still untested against elites. I believe he has a bright future ahead of him. But it's still up in the air IMO. Maybe if he fought another contender, we might be able to gauge him better. But he hasn't. His biggest wins are over two old JrMW's.

    lol Jemallo's chin hasn't been tested by a puncher down at 154, let alone up at 160


    And he looked at least a weight class or 2 bigger than the vast majority of his opponents

    Centeno KO 48%
    Trout KO 47%
    Williams KO 54%
    Bundrage KO 47%
    Heiland KO 44%
    Campfort KO 46%

    GGG has an iron jaw (never down am or pro in nearly 390 fights), is one of the premier bangers in the entire sport with a KO 87%, and he's a consensus top 3 P4P fighter. The difference between GGG's power and all those guys is night and day. He's knocked out bigger and better fighters than Jermallo in the gym and best believe he's more than capable of laying him out on his back even if Jermallo does have a good set of whiskers which is still yet to be established considering he hasn't ever fought a legit puncher before lol

    bit of a claim, seeing as 5 years ago, to be fair, he had yet to face someone world class nevermind land a title.

    Its easier to argue that he has improved to be able to cope well with world level in his 30s, since thats what he has actually done in the flesh, than to argue something mythic about what he didnt do in his past.

    Charlo takes him out.

    Derevyanchenko is 50-50, but it won't go to the cards.

    The rest only get to claim they "faced" Golovkin, for the rest of their lives.

    You really need to ask this question? You know why these people would choose a guy like Charlo that recently beat a cripple over Golovkin, its a no brainer.

    Saunders is the only one I think has a real chance of beating him out of that lot, and even then, he'd better come in at his best. I want to see more of Charlo at 160 before proclaiming him favoured over GGG.

    Saunders probably has the worst chance. Saunder's timing is awful and I don't think you can run away from GGG, you need to make him respect you.

    I think GGG still has 3-4 solid years left at the top. He doesn't rely on speed, and technically is great. The only thing that could crumble him over time is stamina and punch resistance, which have not been issues yet.

    He beats everyone on that list.

    Golovkin is head and shoulders above the rest. None of them have Canelo officials, Golovkin beats them all by tko or wide UD

    We won't know unless they fight now won't we? I mean, Golovkin arguably lost to the two top MWs he's faced. At the very best it was a close win on both fightsm and at the very worst it was a close loss. I don't see why Jermall Charlo wouldn't have a chance.

    Jermall is his mandatory, but Golovkin's manager nd trainer have said that they have no interest in fighting Charlo.
