    Do you respect Jermell Charlo based on his performance against Canelo on Saturday night?

    As a fighter, do you still respect him for his case against Canelo?

    I believe in that fight he came for the biggest pay cheque of his career. Based on what he's given and shown to us, I think many fans will no longer respect him as a fighter.

    He is now 33 years old and doesn't have much long in Boxing before his prime years, athletistim/physiciality fades out. He's trying to cash out once more with Bud before hanging it up imo.

      No. Charlo didn’t risk winning. He was there solely to get his check and not get knocked out.

      He realized early that if he tried to win he would likely get ktfo.

      He should be ashamed.

        Why should he receive credit? He moved up for a paycheck,rather than fighting tim like everyone wanted to see. He seemed to have absolutely no gameplan, and the moment that he saw that his punches didn't phase Canelo,he went into survival mode. **** this whole thing of giving fighters participation medals for surviving 12 rounds. You're supposed to go into the ring to win, not to see if you can lose slightly better than other past opponents. All this did was slow down both the super welter and supper middle division with both their champions taking a pointless and unwanted fight.

          NSB cheered and celebrated chatter about Crawford fighting Canelo. How would that not have "slowed down" super middle and welterweight?

          Let's be consistent.

              Callum Smith also went the distance.

                They said Canelo fights only Eurobums he gotta fight a black American. Then he fought Charlo and Eurobums showed better performance than American bum lol.

                Racism is the worst hypocrite in life.

                  Nsb has had an influx of casuals that forget why weight classes exist for a reason. Crawford vs Canelo is honestly pointless. Crawford would be giving up 21 lbs,and he's not a spring chicken anymore. People want to bring up the mayweather fight as to why Crawford would have a chance,but Canelo is much bigger,stronger and experienced than he was a decade ago. Crawford might be able to box and potshot for a while but we've seen him be hit clean,and I can guarantee you that it canelo lands a flush right hand,we'd have to sc**** Crawford off the canvas. Crawford can rematch Spence at 154, fight Charlo at 154 or tim at 154. Hell,he can even fight boots at 147. Canelo can fight David, bivol, Andrade, or even wait for the artur vs smith winner of he wants to claim more gold at 154. Each fighter has plenty to work with at their own weight classes,and they have no business being in the same ring.
