Why hasn't Charlo fought Tszyu yet? Why is he ducking Tim?

Simple, it is because Charlo is a fraud and a coward.

 

Same reason Tim Tszyu chose to fight Thurman instead of Lubin. Charlo was offered a career high payday to fight Canelo and he jumped at the opportunity and that’s the reason. Canelo Vs Charlo did 20 million Live Gate, Charlo got a guaranteed 2 million dollars and 40% of PPV split. The fight potentially generated 70 million dollars, so Charlo probably made like 15-20 million.

 

Well Charlo faced Canelo instead of Zoo last time out.

And before that he was busy unifying the division, of which Zoo had no part to play.

If Charlo can make 154 still, the fight to make is Charlo v Zoo, but tbh I think his days are finished in the division.

Nothing defends the farce against Thurman tho.

 

Yeah props to Thurman stepping up, it's just crazy he's been given a shot against the best LMW in the world.

As for Charlo, like I said I think his days in the division are finished, if not his days in boxing. He didn't fight over a year after beating Castano and only then for his farce against Canelo.

What would I have to be scared about? Strange comment that. Are you scared?

Charlo has the skill and experience to beat Tszyu, but where he lacks is confidence. I think if Tszyu gets him in a corner and puts pressure on him GGG style Charlo will crack mentally and that will be game set and match. Charlo just doesn’t do well whenever the other guy puts him in a corner.

 

Cause dumbasz no limit (tszyus promoters) are pbc whipping boys…
Guessing facing Canelo payed alot more $ than to face Tszyu…
(For the record I was hugely looking fwd to the fight for undisputed)

 

Just a guess, but once Charlo unified, he probably saw himself as having the star/earning power to hang around and just wait for megafights to materialize, and landing Canelo only reinforced that idea. It's why he was calling out Crawford in the post-fight interview w/Canelo.

Seems clear he wasn't/isn't worried about his mandatories @154. His business was done at that weight when he unified, which he saw as a springboard to bigger and better things. He's just trying to close out his career with a couple huge paydays, and I'm not sure Tszyu, (or anybody else at 154) qualifies right now, plus Tim is high-risk.

If Tim had a belt a couple years earlier, he would have been a priority for Charlo. Now he's not. Steering clear of Tim was a business decision, and not a bad one.

 

It’s not the same thing at all.

 

Boxing is an interesting sport, full of inconsistencies and hypocrisy. Charlo is a coward and is scared of Tim Tszyu, but Boots is inexperienced and doesn’t offer anything substantial for Crawford. Only in the sport of boxing, do fans become managers and matchmakers, and negotiate fights for their favorite fighters.

 

Explain, Thurman isn’t a more profitable fight than Lubin?

 

There are a number of stories going around that Lubin had the opportunity to sign but didn’t.

Also, Tszyu hasn’t held the belts to ransom for 2 years and stopped the number one mandatory guy from fighting him on several occasions.

The two situations are not even remotely similar.
