Fans’ Humorous Take on Jermell Charlo and His Bold Prediction

Some fans, while not entirely dismissive, reacted with skepticism. While some fans are being humorous, others seem to be questioning Charlo’s audacity. Charlo, who has been making rounds on the internet for his drive towards his craft and his determination to win, falls a little short when it comes to the high acclimation that Canelo Alvarez seems to be having in the sport.

A fan stated that Charlo would get his due respect if he does manage to beat Alvarez.

One fan expressed a rather humorous doubt, with a twist much akin to if pigs could fly or the improbable scenario of one’s grandmother having wheels.

Then there is this simple one-worded witty retort by a fan that highlights the sheer audacity of Charlo’s claim. 

This fan response reflects the deep respect and admiration many boxing fans have for Canelo’s prowess in the ring. This comparison implies that fans perceive Charlo’s prediction as overconfident when they contrast it with GGG’s performance against Canelo.

Then there’s the question that encapsulates the sentiment of many fans: “Who does he think he is?” This rhetorical question implies that Charlo might be getting ahead of himself with his prediction.
