Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi: "I Never Felt Like Jermell Charlo Committed To Winning The Fight"

He was not undefeated. You’re thinking about the other Charlo

Yes, sorry I worded wrong. He sacrificed the chance to win and possibility of another loss, by moving up 2 divisions

Bro, that performance screwed his career worse than a stoppage loss. Caleb Plant came away with his loss to Canelo looking like a warrior who tried to win and it didn’t hurt his brand at all. Charlo stunk the joint out last weekend and truly hurt the sport of boxing with that and then being happy about it

Exactly right Oldskool. It's not if you lose, it's how you lose. Boxing, like all sports is part of the entertainment business and Charlo did not hold up his end of the bargain!

Even.jm m tried to win against floyd, just found it hard to hit floyd. Charlo was scared so credit must be given to nelo.

Jermell fought about the same fight as Paul Butler did against Inoue.

[daggum]

he doesnt have to try and win its a free country

People were talking big, that Charlo was "coming to fight" but when he felt Canelo's power he had to survive. Don't forget he moved up 14 lbs. with no fights in between to build up. Charlo did fine.

Did Charlo outperform guys like Brook who moved up 13 Ibs to fight gallantly against GGG?
What about Canelo moving all the way to 175 to fight Kovalev?

Or let’s forget hypotheticals, did Ryan Garcia do “fine” vs Tank?

Canelo turned him into a lion cub as opposed to a fully grown adult male with the mane he declared himself to be numerous times or was that the other bro who called himself a lion?
