“Decided to Run Straight to Another Shark”: Fans Lash Out at Jermell Charlo for Making “Payday Hunting” Callout Moments After Losing to Canelo Alvarez

Another big fight concluded. There was no upset, as the favorite won convincingly. Though Canelo Alvarez failed to knock out Jermell Charlo, his performance certainly seemed way better than how he dealt with John Ryder and Golovkin. Everyone lauds Charlo for the risks he took while challenging Alvarez. However, the ‘Iron Man’ must return to the drawing board. And one of his first steps was a big shout-out to a two-division undisputed champion, Terence Crawford.

If a Charlo-Crawford fight finally comes about, it will happen at Charlo’s Light Middleweight. But most fans and followers don’t seem too enthused by the prospects. Many were vocal with their emotions and questioned whether he was stepping into another quagmire soon after a loss. It is the second career loss for Charlo, and in Crawford, he faces an unbeaten and the generation’s most extraordinary and probably the best boxer.

Doesn’t it seem a bit early, Jermell Charlo? Fans ask.

The following user stated matter-of-factly that Jermell Charlo preferred to retreat when Canelo Alvarez let loose his onslaught in their match. Now that he lost the bout, he is straightaway poking another lion in the face. Perhaps, in the user’s view, the ‘Iron Man’ is chasing big money now.

This fan highlighted that Charlo had gone two years without a victory in the ring. On the other hand, to cement himself as one of the three greatest fighters of all time, Crawford must challenge Canelo Alvarez. It’s not clear which Charlo brother the user is talking about. If it’s Jermell, then it should be noted that he won his last bout against Brian Castano only last year, which made him the undisputed Light Middleweight champion. His brother Jermall Charlo, in contrast, hasn’t been active since 2021.

Though the following fan respects Jermell Charlo, he doesn’t see any reason why he should run the mouth off, challenging Terence Crawford soon after the loss to Alvarez. ‘Bud’ is on a whole other level, the fan seems to believe.

The following user remains clear: Terence Crawford won’t allow Jermell Charlo to go the distance, even in an imaginary match between the two. Hence, he would rather avoid the matchup. The user seems to prefer the Alvarez-Crawford line-up.

The following fan finds it unbelievable. Throughout their match, the Mexican icon bullied Jermell Charlo. However, the latter starts calling people out as if he were the one who won the battle.

‘Bud’ has been eyeing the match since the victory over Spence Jr. He even seemed willing to cross divisions. As per the media interactions, his first preferences appeared: Canelo Alvarez or Jermell Charlo.

Undisputed title – chase and defense

Now, with Charlo openly calling him out, whether the Nebraskan accepts the challenge remains to be seen. As it turns out, sans the WBO belt, the ‘Iron Man’ is no longer the undisputed champion. Hence, if Crawford is chasing the third undisputed title, for which he will have to knock on Alvarez’s door. Tonight’s winner can surely pat his back. However, he has another task in hand.
