Its insane that Charlo hasnt fought in 28 months and the WBC hasnt stripped him for it and is letting him face a non title defense fight against a super lightweight.
WBC is a trash organization. They said that Bivol cant fight for Canelo's 168 title, blocking him from the right to become undisputed there.
The WBC has been the best of the worst in the game of alphabet soup. The WBA cut its own throat with its ridiculous splintering; a watering down of its own hollow value. The WBC showed themselves to when they appointed favorites such as Vitali Klitschko and Julio Cesar Chavez JR.
Can you imagine any of the great former middleweight champs, Carlos Monzon, Ray Robinson, Marvin Hagler or even GGG asking for a recycled, smaller guy as a tune-up, along with a free pass on the title, so that he can pull his pants back up.
But Charlo has never robbed boxing fans blind the way GGG did in his last fight when - after spending years avoiding top-tier fighters while hoping to hang around long enough for Canelo to give him a cash-out third fight - he put up the lame, uninspiring “let me just go 12 rounds and get my money” performance he did in GGG-Canelo III. He did little to sell the fight - he couldn’t even be bothered to do interviews in English - and made little effort to win during the fight. Say what you want about Charlo but you can’t say cheats the fans when he actually does fight. GGG has - and that’s why he deserves every bit of criticism he gets these days.
Oh. but I CAN say Charlo cheats the fans when he does fight. His upcoming match with Benevidez is the example. Further, Charlo is cheating EVERY WBC-rated, hard working fighter hoping to get that shot at the title, with his endless excuses and Jack Dempsey-level hiatus. What's more, his upcoming NON-TITLE bout is pure ************.
All timer talent, power and top 5 ever in the best chin department. He never got dropped or really even hurt.
Ducked by many big names. Beat Canelo twice. Class act.
1st ballot hall of famer. Retired healthy, wealthy and senses intact. Kudos GGG. You made the sport better.
hey man I was a fan at one point but he refused to take ANY risks his whole career. Even now dude is ducking Fackin lara lmao. Call his losses debateable with canelo but the reason why people love canelo is he takes risks. U might think cherry picks but why didn’t GGG do it then? He could’ve fought kovalev at any time. Truth is is he waited till Pavlik and Martinez were pretty done and hopkins was gone and came to america and started begging 140lbrs for money fights. His career was not HOF worthy . Run of the mill euro bum
