    Not at all. If Charlo beats Tim (without the help of US judges because we all know how much you like to have your own judges) then fair play to him. And you'll get no complaints from anybody in Australia about it.

    But you lot are always first with the excuses when one of your own gets beaten or some bull**** reason to de-legitimise a foreign fighter. Harrison was apparently going to slaughter Tim...but he lost and then it wasn't the old Harrison, it was the "over the hill" Harrison.

    So if Tim wins I would hope you would be magnanimous enough to give him his dues without the excuses. But I suspect it will be that Tim beat a "past it" Charlo and never got him at his best. We all know how it works.

    How do you rate Tyson? He never avenged Buster Douglas.

    Plenty of legendary fighters have unavenged losses.

    Manny also got done by Jeff Horn.

    Unavenged and therefore Manny isn't a legend. That's how the thinking goes here and it's embarrassing.

    Yet all we have are excuses for Harrison from you.

    Hypocrite, much?

    Harrison is past his prime I'm not the one here trying to say this Harrison is the same Harrison that charlo fought like youre trying to do insulting my boxing knowledge. If it was then I'd say good win but he wasn't he was clearly past it in that fight. Charlo beat the better version, it's not an excuse those are facts and that's all that needs to be said.

    Of course he's a legend but that doesn't change the fact it was still a bad loss and it still hurts his legacy especially when you compare him against other legends who don't have a bad loss.

    You must have me mixed up with someone else. Fighters I have liked and backed to win have lost before and after they lost I gave the other man their due offered no excuses and moved on. I don't roll like that. If Tim beats charlo I'll do the same.

    Tim isn't ready for charlo at the moment, that's why I am surprised he didn't take this fight. Now is the time to fight tim because hes getting better and more confident every fight.

    When people look at Manny’s career in years to come the Jeff Horn loss will barely rate a mention.

    Ahh, so when it suits you it’s a “fact” but when it doesn’t it’s an excuse.

    Brilliant.

    What does Tim have to do to be ready for Charlo? He’s beaten everybody put up including the guy who beat Charlo for 1 1/2 fights. The idea that Charlo is this unbeatable monster is an absolute myth. Castano was robbed blind by the judges in their first fight and Harrison beat him convincingly.

    The idea that Harrison is over the hill is also a myth. He’s only 32, he ain’t 40 FFS.

    When Tim beats Ocampo, and he will, who else does he need to fight to be ready for this mythical superman Charlo?

    I'm saying it wasn't a good win reason being Harrison was past his prime C level at that point and even in his prime was never elite or an A level he was a solid b level world level title holder level in his prime that's it. A win over a C level fighter isn't a good win for a fighter of Tim's caliber. Lastly I never picked Harrison to beat Tim I knew Tim would stop him punches hard is tough undefeated with has fire in him which makes him think and want to be the best. Tim did what he had to do it was a good performance but not a good win there's a big difference between the two. I rate his win over Gausha over his win against Harrison because he faced adversity got dropped early got back up and won the fight.

    A solid B level fighter who beat mythical superman Charlo and almost beat him again?

    Charlo must be rubbish if that’s what happened. No wonder he’s running scared.

    Charlo has gotten better since he beat Harrison and Harrison has gotten worse since losing to charlo.

    So Charlo is still recovering, crap, I was hoping we'd see that fight this summer now we might not this year at all as Charlo most like will need a tune up first. Very smart from Tszyu to fight, stay sharp and not get caught up in waiting on someone else like Usyk seems to be doing.
