Boxing's biggest fight according to Chris Mannix

Basically theyd be on an even playing field then

Of course, this is not a surprise. He's grateful Andrade is still there for him. What else is there for him?

Tuneups even terrifies him. Precisely the reason why he can't even take stay-busy fights.

If you were Charlo what would be the best option in such situation? Andrade is still a name. If he was smart he would have cashed in/out of this rivalry long time ago. I can't think of Morales without associating him with Barrera. Gatti with Ward, Pacquiao with Marquez, Ali vs Frazier, SRL vs Duran, and many others.

Only 3 - 5 people wanted this fight.
The rest hate Andrade and want him to go away.
And you know this. Let's stop fooling ourselves.

Nah, it was all over every thread about Charlo for months that he's ducking Andrade and Benavidez. Now, that he says that he'll fight him immediately, those same people turn invisible or say he's now ducking Adames. There's no way to please someone that stands on nothing.

A showdown between Jermall Charlo and Demetrius Andrade, at least at one point, seemed inevitable. However, despite years of campaigning either in or near each other's weight class, the two have danced around one another.

Why the turnaround? Weren't you PBC fans trashing Andrade for 4 years every time he mentions Charlo's name?
Forget about other fans. Do you want this fight? I don't rely on what other fans say or want. What do you prefer for Charlo's next fight?
Do you prefer that he takes a tuneup?

Good fight, just the march straight to it part. Straight like a corkscrew.

Charlo is lying his ass off once again. He ain't going straight to nothing!! He says that, but watch it doesn't happen, because he doesn't want Boo Boo. This is all a PR stunt to make it seem like he's trying to make the fight, then he'll pivot and go in another direction and say Boo Boo priced himself out. Typical PBC avoidance tactic. Charlo has rachet wife problems..., He's been on the shelf for 2 years because everytime he tries to train, his wife puts 3 fingers in his ass and tells him he better not box. He'll say, "Ok babe, u know I love u", and get back in the bed

I'm not a promotional company fan, I root for fighters that I watched from the beginning of their journey and selected them as boxers that I would like to see live up to the potential that I saw in them, and it could be from a number of different reasons including styles, attributes, grittiness, or work ethic.

I like fighters from all of the major companies, but if one likes a few fighters from the PBC, then this hypocritical audience of posters on this site, assume and label someone a PBC fan. I like Spence, Tank, and the Charlos because I saw something in them and rooted for them from the beginning, no different than how I root for Ramirez, Lopez, and Shakur at Top Rank, or Hitchins, Prograis, and Joshua at Matchroom, or how I USED to root for Crawford.

But, the minute anyone mentions a PBC fighter like Wilder, Benavidez, or formerly Matias, then they are talked down to and labeled rooting for a company, when in actuality, it the biased opinions and hypocrisy of the audience being projected on someone that can think as an individual rather than a group of goofy hate mongers.

As a fan of Charlo, I would rather see him take a tune up after 2 years of inactivity just because if he's taken into deep waters, I wouldn't want ring rust to cause self doubt, or even be a part of the conversation for how the fight turns out. His immediate fight afterwards should be Andrade or Adames depending on which is the most lucrative, but if he's ordered then he must fight his mandatory first.

This is old news, these two clowns MUST fight each other, they have no other choice.
