    Literally knocked him out tho. And at least Jermell took those fights and made it happen - Jermall did not.

    Charlo also won a medal at the junior Oympics as well, so he has really solid amateur fundamentals, too. I think Castano is probably better than Murtazaliev, especially considering how he lost to Josh Kelly in his very next fight. Castano had a great fight with Lara, who is still more or less at the top of 160.

    Not sure I'd say overrated. When he was active, he was a trough fight for anyone in his division. I'd say more underachieved then overrated.

    Disclaimer: I was one of the only Charlo fans on here until they both fell apart.

    Most people don't rate him at all, how can he be overrated? Someone who most people don't like and root against, it's a hard sell to call someone like that overrated. He's underrated if anything, you will be hard pressed to find another 4 belt undisputed champion that has gotten the disrespect he has.

    Finally saw his fight against Canelo…

    jeeesus, what a stinker of a fight.

    He was literally hugging and running the entire time.

    if he has a 35-2 record…who or what the other fights against.
