    Nobody is faulting your not fighting while dealing with mental issues but at the same time
    if you are unfit to fight you need to step aside and let someone fight foe the titles. Are you going to be champion for 10 years without a fight??? It's ridiculous

      Should be stripped of title. If your not stable vacate your belt go seek mental n spiritual help make yourself whole again you only got one life. Jermall hasn't faces risk @160 yet got a belt n ain't fought in 2 yrs yet is in front line with a title shot @168 shh crazy go fight Adames or Janibek @160 or fight Andrade @168 the winner in line for a Canelo fight. Andrade n jermall Charlo both inactive guys who looking for a cashout instead of facing legit competition whether @160-168

        Jermall Charlo isn't a fighter he is an entertainer. Danny Jacobs shut him down years ago backstage dude went on hush mode n still never fought Danny Jacobs. Then the resume @160 the inactivity only calling for a Canelo cash out. Then finally the Caleb plant slap with no resistance (your a b....) Got punked in public. A fighter like khabib n countless others wouldve at least tried to resist & would've been calling for a Prof fight immediately unless it's after the fight like khabib vs Connor

            You can fault me for not fighting, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.”

            Blah, blah, blah, Yeah, you can be faulted, "for being safer than sorry".

            Because PBC, Al Hayman and Mayweather promotions had played it safer rather than being sorry with your career too, as well as with Spence, Porter, Thurman and Danny Garcia, when they were champions too.

                Im army paratrooper. We're not talking about ptsd from battle here. These are fighters, paid to fight and be champions. If you can't fight, and want to go to therapy, then get out of the way and give up the belt.

                The new trend of discussing mental health for fighters is woke, out of place, and a pc excuse to sit on belts.

                  I fault the WBC for not removing the belt from Charlo.

                  How are you going to have a champion who hasn’t defended in over 2 years? Who is paying off Mauricio Sulaiman to allow this?

                    Totally agree that he should've given up the belt a while ago, no reason for him to be a champion right now

                      Social media wasn't around a couple of decades ago.

                      Social media has changed human psychology. Legit changed it. Our brains are different today than they were 30 years ago.
