“168 here I come. I’ve got the approval,” said Jermall Charlo on social media. “If you don’t get that rematch with [David] Benavidez, I’ll take it. You saw what happened to [Erickson] Lubin when my brother [Jermell] fought him?

“He was dumb as f***. We are going to get it and we are going to show him. Let them keep talking ****. I’m going to come up to 168 and f**** the whole game up,” said Jermall. @ BN24

I wonder if Charlo is gonna take the same route at 168 lbs as he took at 160 lbs ?

Rest assured, whatever he does you'll be here to bitch about it.

If Charlo is gonna fight Benavidez I'll give him my praise. Anyway I could see Charlito fighting Dirrell first.

I'd praise the fight for getting made. Benavidez would beat the sh*t out of him.

That would be a great fight.

I'd love to see it. Come to think of it. Lots of good matchups at 168 need to get made. The top guys just kinda keep floating around each other in that weight class.

He could use a fresh start, there are some good PBC fighters at 168 so hopefully we see him vs them, he's been a whole bunch of blah at 160 despite having the talent

Because he won't fight the other names.

If he doesn't do it at 168 he'll be blah there too.

Hype with no substance isn't ever impressive.

What names have tried to fight him? He's always impressed me past the korobov fight, that he clearly won. First time I saw him his patience impressed me. You're off the mark here.

He's definitely had some real good performances. It's been a while though. He didn't want none of Danny Jacobs, the 3rd or 4th best guy at Middleweight.

That would be a very good fight. I have Benavidez too. I hope we will see it in the near future.

Indeed there are good matches at 168 but everybody wants a piece of Canelo. The 168 division is stacked atm with Canelo, Benavidez, Jacobs, BJS, Callum, Plant and now Charlo. The big question is if they will fight each other?

Generally the answer is no.

Yup.

Benavidez, Plant and Truax.

Charlo has no excuse if he doesn't fight Benavidez or Plant.

Also Charlo quacked when Hearn made him an offer to fight Andrade.

Probably it would end like 'the offer was not good enough'.

Ok, don't remember that.

They were going back and forth and Jacobs decided to confront him personally. Charlo was strangely quiet in the presence of Jacobs. It's on youtube

I wouldn't care enough to watch any outside the ring stuff with any fighters. Strange because charlo would handle danny.

True enough, I was just responding to Gil acting like benavidez would roll over him. Being honest, I wouldn't be overly bothered if boxing never came back as it was.

He looked like he was straight up scared of him when Danny got in his face, and challenged him.

I mean it might not be the one sided beatdown I envision in my head, but I'm confident that Benavidez would win the fight handily. Hope it gets made.

Charlo would probably be able to take Plant.

He can take any of them.
