My original comment was more crap boxing. This isn't just a problem with Charlo and this fight it is with all boxing. Too many crap fights and few good to great fights are being made. I can deal with a crap fight in between good to great fights. So while I think the Canelo-Fielding fight is crap at least Alvarez just had a great fight. I expect after the Fielding fight a good to great fight from him. If he throws out another crap fight I'll be vocal about it.
Same with Golovkin. I thought Murata and him was a crap fight but he just fought Canelo and I understood the money aspect of it. If Golovkin took another crap fight after Murata I would have said it was just that. Vanes fight was a ****e fight. Said so. What I said was it was important to see what he was doing next, and it turned out to be Canelo.
As a boxing fan I wish there were no crap fights but I understand the situation. I can live with it. What I do not like is seeing when guys, especially guys at the top, make crap fight after crap fight.
Charlo is a very good fighter, maybe even elite. But fighting two times in two years is on him and his promotion team. If he couldn't get Golovkin/Canelo, which was totally understandable given they are fighting each other, he should have been busting his butt getting other decent opposition or even just fighting more consistently. If you are going to fight crap because that is all you can get then fight 4-6 times a year. Create some fcking buzz.
