Jermell Charlo and Terence Crawford trade shots on social media

Because it appears we not imminently awaiting an announcement for an undisputed welterweight unification between Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford, we’d as effectively have a look at another potential choices for the long run. Terence Crawford has been extraordinarily vocal about his intention on soon moving up to the 154 lb division to take on Jermell Charlo, however Charlo himself hasn’t exactly welcomed the idea with open arms.

As an alternative Charlo had firmly recommended that Crawford look elsewhere within the welterweight division somewhat than search out a struggle towards himself, and has only recently thrown out the thought of Crawford attempting his hand with a softer contact at 154 — one which Charlo believes would nonetheless be an excessive amount of for Crawford.

Charlo throwing Erickson Lubin’s title on the market as a possible opponent as an alternative of voluntarily providing to maintain Crawford himself drew a number of laughs from the welterweight titleholder, who questioned why the junior middleweight champion is attempting to play matchmaker as an alternative of — you already know — caring for the enterprise himself as you’d anticipate knowledgeable fighter to do.

If Crawford and Spence finally aren’t going to face each other, then a struggle between Crawford and Charlo will surely be greater than palatable instead. Certainly it’s not more likely to occur anytime quickly, particularly with Charlo having but to indicate any precise inclination to entertain a struggle towards Crawford, however the thought of it on paper is unquestionably intriguing from a fan’s perspective.
