    Pops was far superior. Tim has power and toughness but pops was a total package.

    Tim is not really a champion because he was given the title he did not beat the real champion and Undisputed Jermell Charlo.

    How can you fight someone who avoids you?

    No he did not. Charlo does not avoid anyone. He was injured. I look forward to Tim getting his Cool Vince Phillips moment.

    He didn't fight Canelo, he ran around the ring avoiding a fight for money, so stop with that crap.

    It did appear that way, but hey, he got a huge payday, kept his undisputed status at 154, and came out of that fight unharmed. As much as I hated that fight, Charlo made out like a fat rat. He played the cards he was dealt and they came up aces. But, Charlo needs to face Tszyu.

    Charlo could've been avoiding Tsyzu, but so what if he is? That isn't going to degrade him or his career in any way. It might upset some of the fans, but thats about all its going to do.

    It's a similar situation when Haney was being called an "email champ" after the WBC stripped Lomachenko. I'm not sure either situation was fair (to Haney back then or to Tszyu now).
