I believe Charlie Zelenoff gets a lot of unfair criticism. But I think that it's mainly down to a lack of understanding between the slightly different rules boxing under the UBF rules.
Charlie Zelenoff is near 200-0. Yeah, that's right, near 200-0. He doesn't even have a weight class, he fights all shapes and sizes, and against the best underground boxers/fighters in the world and several pros.
One thing I notice, is in certain fights, people are commenting saying that Charlie is running, but when Mayweather runs, he wins the rounds 10-9 and it's called sweet science. But when Charlie runs, he's a chicken. People are getting it twisted. You see, most Charlie's fights generally aren't in a ring. So everywhere is the ring essentially. Him running in to macdonalds and grabbing a milkshake during the fight is just him creating some distance to land a telling blow and tire out his opponent. It's masterful.
Another thing, people saying he's sucker punching people. He's not, he's doing what all great boxers do, landing blows that the other guy doesn't see coming, that maximizes the power.
Also, he's been criticized for putting his hands up and saying "I win", mid fight. But that's UBF rules. In a close fight, the first guy to raise his hands and declare I win, is the victor. I just wanted to clarify these things as I wouldn't want Charlie Z to lose his place among the P4P best in the world, due to people not fully understanding what they are seeing.
