    I hope you're wrong about Charlo going back to 154. Did he say that or is that an assumption? I really want to see Tszyu/Charlo.

    It's an assumption. He has never been keen on fighting Tszyu

    Perhaps. But your feeling is true only if Charlo lied about his hand injury. Charlo taking on Canelo is just smart business. As usual, only time will tell.

    At the end of the day Charlo's business decisions don't put money in our pocket so who gives AF. As a boxing purist I will always see him as a coward. It is what it is.

    Lol a coward?

    He unified every LMW belt and then jumped two divisions to take on an undisputed champion.

    Lol so the choice is coward or braveheart?

    The same way his performance against Canelo disqualifies him from being braveheart, unfiying every belt and jumping two weight classes disqualifies him from being a coward.

    Yes, he's a coward.

    That "fight" against Canelo was a disgrace to the sport. Charlo is an absolute cat. He's the sort of dude who would use his mother as a human shield if he was attacked. He's a cancer.

    True enough. What he makes doesn't affect my bank account, but I think calling the guy a coward when the Tszyu fight can still be made is a bit harsh. I too was not only disappointed in the Tszyu fight not happening, but, as you mentioned, Charlo did not show up to even try to beat Canelo. Very pitiful display.

    I don't think it is harsh as Charlo has a track record of being a punk and acting like he is the baddest MF on the block but once the deck is stacked against him he goes to water.

    Nah the choice is try to win or just show up for selfish reasons and mug the fans off. You don't get credit for jumping 2 weight classes if you don't even try winning.

    I doubt Charlo will come back to 154 and fight Tszyu but I sure hope he surprises me because I think Tszyu will sure surprise him.

    It's all about whether you show up to fight. Or whether you show up to run.

    It takes no bravery at all to take a fat cheque and then spend 12 rounds running for the hills. Charlo's performance, if you can call it that, against Canelo was disgusting.

    Charlo is a coward. End of.
