Comments Thread For: Canelo: Charlo Yes, Benavidez Yes, Plant Yes - But Andrade Has Fought Nobody!

[Oregonian]

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.

——-
Before he signed on to fight Saunders, did you hold the same sentiments that he wasn’t going to fight him?
Canelo has been clear about unifying the 168 division. And he’s doing it. What’s your basis for proclaiming he won’t fight Plant?

Can somebody explain to me in what universe Charlo and Plant have much better resume than Andrade?

Charlo beat Derevyanchenko and Plant UNSEATED a reigning defending world champion(Uzcatagi)....that destroys any damn thing Andrade has done in his entire career. Lol....y'all gotta cut that fanboy **** out. Andrade does not deserve a shot a canelo based on his career performances and you know it....SMDH. I am ELATED that Canelo realizes Andrade is a big fat huge waste of time when he can take on way more credible fighters with more accomplishments that have more meaningful titles. Give me the proof that andrades record is better than those other guys....if you can't then STFU!

Andrade neeeds to go to 168 and become mandatory for the wbo belt. I believe the wbo will name him mandatory and a champion moving up in weight. That will force Canelo to either fight him or vacate the 168 belt.

Andrade’s resume is trash but is Benavidez’s or Plant’s that much better?

He's right, the hell with Andrade, he's not a world class fighter and it shows anytime he has a mild step up in class.

If that was true someone would have taken that belt and lined up a big Canelo payday or just a bigger payday.

Plant has a title at 168 lbs. So it makes sense for Canelo to fight him to achieve his goal to unify all the belts. After that and as for Benavidez, it would be a massive fight. If Canelo can sell 40,000 tickets in 24 hours and 70,000 tickets by fight time in Dallas, imagine the massive gate eyeballs glued to tv screens with a fight with Benavidez. The reality is that Andrade has zero appeal, even in his hometown.

I understand fighting them as a super middleweight but it's apples and apples kind of a comparison.

He would have to fight someone decent in order for someone to take his belt and he is very inactive at that.

Why should Canelo just hand an ESPN level main event guy a massive payday? Because he has a meaningless belt? I have a version of the WBA title ffs

OK....Tell me this....just answer this ONE question if you will.....WHAT HAS DEMETRIUS ANDRADE DONE to say to you that he a chance in hell of surviving a fight against Canelo? Please explain what exactly convinces you of this. I've said over 2 years ago that fighting Andrade is a waste of time for Canelo because the result is SET IN STONE whether you like it or not....if the boy gets into a ring with Saul he's going to get KNOCKED OUT...LOL....what? Are you on andrades booster club or something? LOL

He has a common opponent with Lara and Charlo, Vanes Matirosian when he was in his prime and good, and he outboxed them far better than them 2 did. He also has fantastic footwork, great foot speed, hand speed, and defense which is what gives Canelo terrors. Not size and power, but speed and quickness, which Andrade has and Canelo's recent opponents do not.

Eddy Reynoso simply does NOT like the match-up, pure and simple.

Reynoso/Canelo delivered a message to a short list of his preferred, more suited opponents. Eddy Reynoso knows that Andrade has the size, athleticism and specific style to beat everyone on that list and more importantly, Eddy knows that Andrade presents problems that Canelo is far less suited for. The message all but guarantees that none of the named list will risk their position in line to fight Andrade.

A classic Floyd Mayweather type move by Eddy Reynoso.
