While there are already so many criticisms going around the Charlo Twins, ‘Iron Man’ Charlo doesn’t seem to be letting anything get under his nerve.
Mike Tyson has backed Canelo to beat Jermell Charlo in their upcoming clash. However, ‘Iron Man’ didn’t go off on ‘Iron’ Mike for his prediction.
On the contrary, Jermell Charlo labeled Tyson as a legend.
He said, “Mike Tyson’s Mike Tyson man. He can say whatever he wants. He’s the GOAT, a legend. It’s cool. I’ve got a lot of respect for Mike Tyson. Canelo too, he’s a legend too. I’m trying to be great.”
While Jermell Charlo showed complete sportsmanship and respect towards Mike Tyson, several fans ridiculed his act. Here’s a look at those reactions that denounced Jermell Charlo for insulting Mike Tyson despite getting downplayed.
Charlo also came across some heat from Terence Crawford on July 29’s super fight. ‘Bud’ Crawford put on a classic display of action against Errol Spence Jr. to become the undisputed 147 lbs champion.
In between rounds, ‘Bud’ looked at Jermell Charlo and called him out for a fight. Meanwhile, Jermell’s brother Jermall Charlo had an altercation with Caleb Plant, which ended with ‘Sweet Hands’ landing a slap on the elder Charlo.
‘Iron Man’ Charlo can silence all of this hate by beating Canelo Alvarez, a task that would be sheerly demanding.
Canelo is one of the best boxers of the era and has been beating top-level boxers for several years. But Dmitry Bivol outclassed the Mexican, leaving a blueprint for many others to beat the current 168 lbs undisputed titlist.

Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo- PBC Fight
Canelo Alvarez eft Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Promotions to sign a multi-fight deal with Al Haymon’s PBC. He will reportedly have three bouts starting with Jermell Charlo on September 30.
Initially, several people thought Canelo would face Jermell’s elder brother, Jermall Charlo. Unlike his younger brother, ‘Hitman’ Charlo is unbeaten.
But Charlo is an undisputed super welterweight champion, a status that Canelo Alvarez holds in the super middleweight category. Hence, a fight between them would be justifying.
