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

[al-Xander]

Charlo should just go for the money fights for the remainder of his career. Go for the Crawford fight, if it is still available.

What is there to prove fighting the likes of Castano, etc.? His biggest opportunity came and he blew it. So what's the point of continuing where he left off?

Canelo needed an opponent to look great against; Charlo needed a check after being off of work for a year+. Fans need a great fight

As always, the fan come last, if at all.. rarely, at all.

We need to stop mentioning long layoffs. Even your idol Charlo disagrees with you.

Gentlemen, are we now in the business of excusing non-commital performances that favour survival mode…just because? I don’t want to ever see a lack of heart in a fight, especially one in paying to see. Charlo should I’m no way be excused for his performance. I keep hearing the “well he was a wee bit small” excuse. I say no one forced him into this fight. He signed for it, he’s responsible for not even trying to win

Agreed! Charlo knew of the challenge in facing Canelo two weight classes higher than him. He took the fight and our money. It's entertainment that we're paying for here. A lackluster effort is NOT entertaining. Charlo now talks about only being interested in big money fights from here on. Based on the performance that he gave Saturday night, I'm not sure how many people will pay to see him again.

at least Charlo wasn't pumping his fists after surviving ever round like Mikey Garcia

[blindsideyou]

Yea that was embarrassing for Mikey That’s on tape for everyone to see for all time.
Charlo and his cash grad nothing more to say about this fight. Canelo too hard and too good for him, his brother, beni, and Crawford

I mentioned his need for money.. that it was tied into him being off for 16 months is not an indictment on his performance. Merely, evidence that he needed money, which was my point.

What do you expect? He is brave to step up 2 divisions, he wasn't good enough! Leave it at that he sacrificed his zero. He aimed for greatness, he fell short. Charlo talked the talk, so people mightve expected more, but don't be fooled by talk

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

At the end of the day Charlo can look back and realize he did better against Canelo than Callum Smith who literally shelled up for 12 rounds and did absolutely nothing and he was the bigger man haha.
