I was down with him until he became the most inactive fighter in the sport. At this point, he needs to start picking the opposite of every business decision that he makes.

Andrade is in one of the worst situations. He is not really a knockout artist, so he doesn't appeal to the masses. But each and everybody knows between 147 and 160 that he's one of the toughest customers out there. But since he doesn't have a following, he's easy to overlook. So they're avoiding him in hopes that he becomes irrelevant. All he has to do is wait for his shot so he can prove his worth. His time will eventually come.
He had an opportunity vs Jermell Charlo and pulled out the fight 2 weeks beforehand due to money. Then he had a chance vs Derevyanchenko last December but didn't take that opportunity either.
