Former two-division world champion, now analyst and commentator Paul Malignaggi shared his thoughts regarding a potential fight for the title of absolute champion in the first middleweight between Jermell Charlo And Tim Tszyu.
Let us remember that last weekend Charlo lost the WBO title to Tszyu without a fight. The American chose a box office fight with the absolute world champion in second middleweight Saul Alvarez over the mandatory defense of the belt, to whom he lost by a crushing decision.
“After such a performance, Charlo will now fight not with Crawford, but with Tszyu. And, if he finishes Tim, maybe he can get Crawford.
I don't think Charlo has the motivation, $20 million will do the trick. I believe that if he fights Tszyu, he will be knocked out. At his peak, Jermell was a world-class fighter, but now he's not hungry for victory. This is not a guy who wants to fight,” Malignaggi said in a release on his YouTube channel.
