Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo: Tim Tszyu Was My Challenger But He Does Nothing For My Career, Still Needs To Build Himself Up

No one cares about Kazoo, not even in Australia he only had 5000 people at his first defense, wtf?!

He'll most likely retire after the Canelo fight or take 2-years long layoff just like his twin. I don't know why they are still giving attention to these types of fighters.

A duck is a duck. Jermell is highly overrated. Tszyu isn’t even a great fighter. He’s cashing out on the Canelo paycheck, likely dropping his belts to avoid Tszyu, Spence, Crawford, Danny Garcia and anyone else who poses a threat. 160 is full of cherry picks and it should be relatively easy to pick up a strap at MW now.

Everybody knows the Canelo fight is bigger money. Whether he could have fought Tszyu in the interim is what is at issue. He was stalling with his "hand injury" that took way too long to heal.

It's also a much tougher fight. Nobody is ducking Tszyu for a tougher fight no matter how you try to spin it. Tszyu it's not nearly as good as you want him to be.

"Whether he could have fought Tszyu in the interim is what is at issue." If it's such an easy fight, why didn't it happen? Charlo said last night that he had been in the gym for months. I'm guessing he was using his "injured" hand.

Canelo-Charlo is actually a helluva fight, better than Crawford-Spence, with all respect to the big fight they had.

When Roy moved up/down multiple divisions (LHW to HW), it led to disastrous results. Jermell should not aspire to be like RJJ in this particular instance. I'm not gonna criticize Jermell's decision because he's been reliable for SHO and this will be his second PPV appearance in a headlining role. Jermell SAYS he'll be able to move back down to 154, but that remains to be seen. This could turn out to be his cash-out fight. He's been injured and inactive, and Canelo will be very motivated.

It's called preparing for a much tougher fight against a much better opponent for much more money. It's that simple. But carry on trying to make Tszyu something that he isn't.

Jermell will fight Canelo and then gotta answer Crawford's call.

lmfao

I'm not saying that Tszyu would beat him. Charlo just never wanted the fight. If he comes back to 154 after he loses to Canelo, he will fight Spence or Crawford. He will never fight his mandatory, Tim Tszyu. Charlo will "injure" his hand until a better fight comes along.
