The mechanics of a punch - The left hook - With Jermell Charlo and David Lemieux

I actually think Charlo is at a similar level to the level Benn was at in his prime except Benn had more power at 160.

 

Benn beat Barkley at 160, Charlo hasn`t beat anyone as lauded as Barkley was yet.

 

I meant in terms of athleticism both guys had/have great hand speed, I do except that Charlo has never beat a killer like G-man, but that was at 168, the best guy Benn beat at 160 was a sluggish Barkley in a brawl, he developed into a much better fighter at 168 despite collecting less KO`s at the higher weight, he wasn`t as reckless and fought much better in his rematch v Eubank than in their first clash which he himself has stated was a bad performance, he blamed it on bad prep, he was also far too gung-ho v Watson which is why he sacked his lousy trainers after that bout, all they said in his corner was: 'steam him'!

 

But he had more fights at 160 than at 168.

 

Charlo would have wanted to fight the winner of Benn v Barkley or Benn v Eubank I`d say.
