A new 'ambitious' rival emerges for Triple 'G'

IBF/IBO/WBA junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd says he would definitely beat Charlos, GGG and Canelo. “I’m definitely going 4-0 against all of them,” said Hurd, who has also expressed interest in a 154- or 160-pound bout against left-handed IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence (24-0, 21 KOs).” “I’m not losing, no matter what. I just have the will to win, to dig it out in the end and to pull it off. That’s how I break these fights down by my ability to break them, mentally.” 28-year-old Hurd (22-0, 15 KOs) will fight against England's Jason Welborn on December 1 to defend his title. “Jermell is not better than Jermall for my style. Overall Jermall’s physically stronger than Jermell in terms of size and power. I feel like Jermell Charlo would be an easier fight for me,” said Hurd. “When I beat Jermell Charlo, I’m moving up to 160, and guess who I’m coming for? Jermall Charlo. So you know that’s a fight possibly in the future.” “Wins over both Charlos would put me in position for a great match with Canelo,” he added. “Canelo was once at 154, also, so size wouldn’t be a factor. Even though I know he’s going up to 168 to fight Fielding, I feel like I would be the bigger fighter against Canelo that night.” Hurd has also spoken out on his chances against Triple 'G'. “I personally think that a fight with Triple-G would be tougher for my style than Canelo. I don’t think Canelo is a bigger fighter than I am. But with Triple-G, I don’t think it will be as easy enforcing my will on him,” said Hurd. “I feel like I can do that easier with Canelo than with Triple G, who is more physical, but I still see myself winning. I haven’t had too many people calling me out after the Lara fight, and that’s crazy. Before the Lara fight I had a lot of people calling me out. I’m starting to get the respect that I deserve.” Source - Boxingscene
