Ultimately after getting undisputed + being early 30s Mell was seeking money fights which Tim isnt. Tim is a high risk low reward. They should have done this fight in the USA to boost Tim more for a Mell/Bud/Spence future fight

Yupp. His name is BAKHRAM MURTAZALIEV
Apparently, he was Charlo's mandatory for over 1 year already. I mean, you can't be sitting on your belts, not defending for close to 2 years and expect to keep your belts
yeah the IBF doesnt play about its mandos and murtazaliev has been eating good off them step asides to allow all these unifications..but not fighting tszyu is allowing the orgs to set off the mando situation

But they didn’t, because Charlo faked a hand injury and then lined up a Canelo fight.
The second part is fine, the first not so much. The third part (lying on The Breakfast Club about a Tsyzu injury postponing any fight) was what dropped his respect even further.
Sucker shyt. Be a man, stand on your shyt, don’t make things up.
Come on cuzz
...I think his hand was legit messed up. We can say what we want about him taking the money and running but the time between the Castano fight and the Canelo fight was the longest break of his career. He usually fights every 7 to 9 months.
He talks too much, but we have to give him the benefit of the doubt on his injury.

He was over the top explaining the injury, and when people do that 9 / 10 they're lying.Come on cuzz

It's okay, he didn't want to fight a difficult mandatory immediately after becoming undisputed. I get that part.
The Breakfast Club shyt was a stain on his soul though.

I'm of the belief that I think he had a legit injury, but the extent of the injury was fabricated to duck Tim Tszyu
Then all of a sudden "His hand is healthy" when he signed to fight Canelo

That's probably more accurate tbh.

Not sure I'd pick Tszyu to beat Charlo or Bud
He's sturdy, punches hard and probably has underrated defense but I think it's going take more to beat either of those dudes at 154

I don't see Tim beating Charlo tbh. And assuming Crawford can comfortably be the same at 154, he beats him aswell.

We're on the blood path now
I thought a Tzyzu injury did postpone it?

Hell no. He even fought with it (dog bite lacerations).

That was the last injury. Pretty sure Tim had another injury that delayed the initial fight with Charlo. I thought Tim got hurt first, then Charlo got hurt twice, and finally the fight was off.

That's a lot of hurting.
Tsyzu had a small time out with an injury prior to his Gausha fight.
This was before his first fight in USA (February 2022), so the idea that it delayed anything in regards to a potential Charlo fight can't work.
Charlo 'injured' his wrist/hand in December of 2022, the fight between Tsyzu / Charlo had been building up, and if I recall correctly, it was at the very beginning of camp?
Either way, Charlo then dragged out the '*injury' all the way until word got out regarding the Canelo fight in mid to late July, 7 months.
