like him or not, being a free agent is the best move he has made.

You can simply chose not to watch those channels.

True but as boxing fans shouldn't we push for those cancer channels to be held accountable for spreading hate and divide latinos and Black Americans? I mean we should be sticking together as ********** and help each other out for F0ck sake .

Eddie Hearn wants to make Andrade vs Chris Eubank jr in the UK for later this year.
See, Eubank is with the Sauerland's who've just formed Wasserman boxing with the intention of competing with Matchroom. Yet Eddie doesn't have an issue working with them as long as it creates a good event. Same way he gave Ruiz a shot at AJ or gives guys like Molina a run out. He looks at the upside for his fighters and the event itself.
Al haymon would never do it with his prospects or stars, he would never allow a lesser name from matchroom/top rank a shot at his prospects/stars.

Says the guy who's been ducking Andrade and The Charlos since 154. Let's be honest...he won't fight Plant, Charlo or Benevidez either.

Why wouldn’t he? They’re not near as a “complete boxer” as Canelo is. If I was him I’d fight everyone. EASY WINS. Going up to 175 is ******. He’s a midget. Too short & too short armed. He might as well VOLUNTEER to tie one hand behind his back. Probably STILL whip 80% of the top 10.

168 division sucks in terms of having REAL fighters. If Canelo was 6 foot he’d easily whip cruisers. Theirs few boxers that eat, breath and sleep boxing now a days.

Plant and Benavidez resumes are no deeper than Andrade's. You can argue they're better but you can't believe they are by very much.

World champions beaten by Plant (21 fights):
Jose Uzcategui (IBF 168)
Caleb Truax (IBF 168)

World champions beaten by Benavidez (24 fights):
Anthony Dirrell (2X WBC 168)

World champions beaten by Andrade (30 fights):
zero

Andrade is the only two division champion I can think of who has never fought anybody else that has ever won a major title (WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, Ring, or lineal; none of this Regular, Interim, Gold, IBO nonsense).

At least the other two guys beat a champion for their belt. Andrade won vacant belts against weak competition then defended them against even weaker competition. His best wins were Sulecki, Martirosyan, and Culcay and he barely won those fights. Dirrell, Uzcategui, and Truax are all much, much better wins than any of those guys.

Plant hasn’t fought anyone either

Charlo can’t fight Canelo. He always has his periods on the weekends.

Quack quack quack. Benavidez and Plant don't have THAT much better resumes than Boo Boo if at all FOH...

[TernceBudCharlo]

What a de****able and cowardly comment, Plant and Benavidez do not have better names on their resume than Andrade.
