It is time to start taking the Charlo Twins Seriously

I quite like their attitude to be honest. They have all the making for a real good heel tag team.

Lubin got ****ing slept and once a man is slept I am then upon the sleep bringer's train. Welcome, gentlemen.

 

Bit of a negative-light assessment, but overall factually I don't find much I disagree with. Both twins are very capable fighters, well above-average in every category, but neither has the otherworldly special quality that would leave you too surprised if either one lost to anybody ranked in the neighborhood of top 15-20 at either weight.

Only thing I find weird is you're still clinging to Lubin having been anything other than empty hype. Just another kid that looked the part, nice and flashy when crushing tomato cans, but he got smoked in one bell the second he stepped up - just like I was saying in 2015...and hell, just like you were saying. I was reading through some of my older posts on him and saw that in those same threads even you were originally skeptical of him. You said he was exciting but conceded you didn't think he would make it all that far with his deeply ingrained leaky defense (you can always tell, with a trained eye, when somebody has learned bad habits in the amateurs that are so part of the fabric of their style they're likely never going to unlearn them) and then somewhere along the way, recently I guess, you fell under the spell, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. He beat Demonio Cota? Someone that Rubio took out behind the woodshed, and whom ancient Yori Boy Campas took life and death? I don't really care that he vanquished Cuban glass poster child Yudel Jhonson. Cota isn't a legitimizing scalp, for anyone. If he's your best win, you don't have anything.

I just don't understand when Lubin went from an exciting, flashy guy that everybody knew was doomed to be KTFO when he took his Icarus flight to all of a sudden a potential world beater.

Lubin is maybe slightly better than Hatley, but closer to his tier IMO than any of the real elites.

 

Jermall might lose to Canelo based on the Austin Trout fight and the fact that Canelo looked big and strong and MW, more than I expected.

GGG is the old lion he is past prime and gonna get taken out sooner rather than later. Charlo might beat him and also I think he'll struggle in a rematch with Canelo and probably lose.

GGG best bet for his legacy is to unify against Saunders/Lemieux winner and then move up to 168 and fight the winner of the WBSS probably Eubank Jr. and then retire as unified 160 and 168 champ.

I'd like to see Jermall vs Jacobs and see if he can crack that chin or gets outmuscled and outboxed.

 

I think he will struggle in Canelo rematch, but don't ever see him being stopped in the remainder of his career. He may lose a decision but will never end up on his rear.

 

I agree 100%

 

The Charlo's are goodboys

 

Been saying for years, these boys are are dedicated to the art of boxing and are natural killers whos power is very underrated. Glad they are getting a bit more respect for their ability regardless of what people think of their personality's.

 

Nah. I think it’s time we take Derevyenchenko more serious.

Found this clip of your new bandwagon you and several others have hopped on now that #38 failed

I have no problem with them being taken seriously, I think they are solid but it's so hard to actually like them, I'm trying, I'm really trying but I'm failing.

 

Don't know about that. There are plenty that were popular without playing the bad guy. Ray Leonard, Hearns, Holyfield, Tyson, etc. Yes, Tyson was immensely popular when he was seen as a nice young kid already.

 

Wow, you picked heavy favorites! Impressive.
