Not as easy for him unfortunately.

160-168 is dominated by DAZN/ESPN.

He should've taken the $7m to unify with Andrade.

True. Mall should fight Benavidez, Plant and of course Anthony Dirrell @ 168.

Andrade has even a poor resume @ 160 than Mall.

Jermell loves a rematch!

He must be the best rematcher of recent times.

It makes you wonder why he doesn't do in the first fight what he loves doing in the remtaches?

It seems as if he has to have a chink in his record to bring out the dog in him.

He’s fought the best of the best already. Doubt he’ll start playing safe.

Jermell can never be accused of playing it safe; his record to date is testimony to that.

Which makes it even more of a head scratcher why he wouldn't fight Andrade? He fought Monteil, now Sulicki? I think the Charlos are both great boxers, but egos get in the way sometimes.
Great win for Mell, btw. Impressive. Mall needs to find his nuts like his brother.

Seen Jermell saying he wont fight Tszzyu next cause he got dropped last fight...

Seems mental to not want that fight. Its probably the biggest money fight in the division for jermell when you acount for Aus PPV sales. and it ticks off a mandatory. Charlo should be keen as to fight the fairly raw Tszyu befor he improves too much...

Respect to Jermell, it was a good win and he’s a deserved undisputed champion.

But he seems so arrogant at the moment. Post fight comments etc.

Getting rather annoying.

Who’s he gonna fight?

Or is he gonna vacate the WBO belt? Tszyu has been waiting 2 years.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Spence wants P4P rankings to replace himself with Charlo.

Yeh, B Custer mentioned it.

I think she meant in regards to the list they kept showing us.

But it’s a mens fights. They were comparing the men.

In August, Terence Crawford will be celebrating the fifth anniversary of his most recent credible pound-for-pound worthy achievement.

Over the equivalent timeframe, Jermell Charlo has competed in eight world title bouts, six of those fights were against current/former world champions, he became a two-time champion at 154lbs and he also unified all four super-welterweight titles.

Accomplishments must have expiry dates when evaluating the CURRENT cream of the crop!

Anyway, no one is suggesting that Terence Crawford isn’t a fantastic fighter, because he’s a dead-cert first-ballot future Hall-of-Famer in my mind, but it would be criminal if The RING, ESPN & TBRB don’t revise their next rankings and include Jermell Charlo’s name in their top-ten pound-for-pound ratings.

And to be fair, Jermell Charlo has achieved more than his close buddy, Errol Spence Jr.

Terence Crawford is ESPN's number one pound-for-pound fighter.

Jermell Charlo is not currently classed amongst any of the top-ten pound-for-pound rankings.

Compare their resumes since September 2017. :o

Spence sounds soft as hell here. What happened to American fighters? Spence should say he wants to fight Charlo, not get replaced by him on the p4p list. Seriously, American boxing feels dead. Soft mentality.

They are very close friends and both have said they aren’t willing to fight each other, unless someone coughs up stupid money (i.e. more than $50m).

And no one will pay those guys that sum to stage the bout.
