Andrade needs to find a way to make some noise if he wants a big fight. That, or needs to give up some leverage and try and get one of those guys in the ring. Right now he just doesn't bring a ton to the table. I like his awkwardness in the ring though, very unique.
Canelo ducked him at 154 and 160. GGG keeps ducking him at 160.
Andrade`s resume is garbage, but I can`t blame him, all good fighters duck him.
Its because he is a spoiler, I think the top guys beat him they just don't see him as a presence, kinda similar to Lara good fighter awkward to beat doesn't bring anything to the table.
If Andrade hadn't pulled out of the fights he did however many years ago, he might not be in the position he is now. You reap what you sow, but if you don't sow anything early on...
When people hype up Andrade claiming he hasn't been given a shot I wonder if they're just trolling or really that gullible. Andrade has ducked more fights than anyone. At 154 he was avoiding step up fights left and right (including straight up going MIA for a stretch), even at 160 he previously gave up a mandatory slot vs Korobov, said he was swerving Jacobs because he'd rather be bffs with him and reportedly pulled out vs Derev (which he's got a track record of doing). He's showing a bit more motivation lately because he's running out of time to cash in his protected 0, but he's still not doing anything about it like making a mandatory request at 168, he's just fighting scrubs on the sidelines waiting for a jackpot to fall in his lap.
Canelo offered to fight Andrade to the commission in a bid to keep one of his middleweight belts. No one ducks Andrade, he’s not that good. He’s just not worth anything. If he had a resume and buzz, maybe then. Golovkin is an old man and don’t give a fuk about legacy anymore. And Canelo gave up on the middleweight division when two of his belts were stripped.
Andrade like Charlo, need to stop acting like people need to come to them. Canelo is moving forward doing big things getting his money, Golovkin is having a big event vs Murata. These losers are just that. Losers. Boxing isn’t a charity event, no one owes these two anything.
If I was DAZN I’d have kicked Andrade to the curb long ago Top Rank style if I couldn’t force him to take worthwhile fights.
Both guys have fought many fighters that are much better, whereas Andrade has never fought anyone good ever.
So I'm inclined to think it's Andrade's fault Andrade never fights anyone good. Canelo just unified a division and GGG is unifying next month. Andrade is fighting dudes that could barely beat baby Mosley.
he's been at MW for more than 4 years and has fought a grand total of 2 top 10 ranked fighters(both guys were ranked #8) charlo has been there even longer and has fought 1 top 10 ranked fighter. i just dont know why people care so much about these guys. must be american bias. a guy like makabu has fought way more top 10 opponents than them but no one knows who he is so i guess he doesnt deserve it and they do?

He's got so many guys ducking him surely he must be in the running for this coveted award....
