    The cowardly lion. All this talk about not getting a shot at Canelo and we're already going into March and this clown doesn't have an opponent nor has he made any attempts at getting Plant in May.

      He should fight Caleb Plant next to try and get what Canelo wants.

        Why not do what Lara did??? Show up to Canelo's press conferences and fights calling him out. Get under his skin.

        I mean Lara said he was going to decapitate Canelo and kill him...

          I still don't get why Jermall Charlo turned down the Canelo fight.
          He's been mentioning the Mexican superstar's name every opportunity he gets,
          yet when it was offered, he turned it down. Why?

            Fighting Canelo, at this point, is akin to having one's cheeks parted, deep in the bowels of some correctional facility. What is in it for the opponent? A payday? They are basically selling their 0. "Take this money while we bend you over on the Canelo show!" Mexican beef and De la Hoya's fishnet buddies in charge of the officiating! Fook that. People tune in to the Canelo show to he told how great he is, on a one-sided playing field. Tons of money will be made, but legacy-wise the whole thing is a fraud.

                I see. A beggar becomes a chooser all of a sudden when the fight is offered.
                It's typical these days. Pretend to mention big names and make excuses when they call your bluff.

                  Again, always funny when Fury fans cite “beef” yet ignore Nandrolone...the anabolic steroid. I mean “Mexican beef” is a better tag line than wild boar testicles...

                    Looking like a potato, letting it all hang out, while you outclass men built like bodybuilders = "wild boar testicles"

                    Moving from 150 to 180 in a year or so, packing on 30-40 lb. of LEAN muscle whilst somehow lowering body fat during the process = "Mexican beef"

                    If you knew anything about body composition, you would know that it is impossible to achieve the results Canelo did naturally. The exact same thing happened with Tommy Hearns moving from Welter to Cruiserweight, exact same thing that happened with Evander Holyfield moving from Cruiser to Heavyweight.

                    And again, Canelo goes from labouring against Contenders at 154, to walking through and manhandling the boogeyman at 175. Exact same thing happened to Mr. "Scurred of Needles Doe" Pacquiao when he flew up from Feather to Light Middleweight.

                    The writing is clearly on the wall with Canelo. Anyone who knows anything about fitness and how the body works can see the signs which are clearly there to see. You are just a nuthugger who chooses not to see them, and I can't help you with that.

                      Charlo just running the PBC play book strategy. Clout chase off the cash cow. He has never had any intention of fighting Canelo but he sure will get himself some media time and get some attention from pretend intention. They are all at it.

                      Plant and Charlo leaching off Canelo's name, even Spence is at it cuz Spence has said Crawfords name twice already he won't say it a 3rd time incase he comes out of a mirror and fights him. ANYBODY who thinks Spence really wants to fight Canelo is a fkking idiot.

                      We got Stank Davis clout chasing the 135 names like Garcia, Loma, Haney and Lopez then facing Light Featherweights and now a 2nd tier 140 guy. So says all those names but fights none of them.

                      Then we got Wilder who has rode the coat tail of Anthony Joshua like a rodeo master yet has turned down offer after offer after offer and made no attempts to make that fight at all.

                      Its the same old PBC Rhetoric time and time again. Why has Charlo not faced Canelo? Because he doesn't want to. They want PBC champions to stay champions and if they have to lose their belts the PBC wants those belts lost on an in house card where the PBC still will have a champion. They do not want to lose standing to rival promoters cuz it affects value as they push for as many PPV level fighters as possible.

                      And that's why I hate the PBC. A stable full of clout chasing duckers who will duck cuz they only intend to clout chase and then try to sell the narrative its not them ducking but the other side.
