and people still asking "when was it when GGG was in his prime?" the answer is just in front of you, just like any boxer at that weight around 30-32 when he annihilated and destructed this type of opposition

Andrade is the one who has managed to go 30 (soon 31) fights without ever facing anyone that has won any world titles at any weight.
Murata is about to face his third champion (N'Dam twice, next GGG) in 19 fights. Charlo has fought 3 in 32 fights.
Both Murata and Charlo have soft resumes, but Andrade has the softest resume of ANY world champion in ANY weight.
1. Murata is seen as vulnerable, and vulnerable guys get more fighters looking to challenge them for obvious reasons. Fighters who are a potentially difficult matchup get labeled as “high risk, low reward” so they can be avoided without too many questions.
2. Charlo has the PBC stable to choose from so he has more access to opponents.
3. Andrade’s #1 contender is Jaime Munguia and it’s been that way for awhile. Munguia is on record stating that he knows he needs to face a champion at 160, yet he won’t even take a title shot that’s right in front of him
4. Andrade was signed to face Billy Joe Saunders but Saunders failed a drug test.

The only person to blame for Andrade's career is Andrade.
He went LIFE AND DEATH with fringe contenders like Culcay, Williams, Martirosyan, and Sulecki. Those are literally his best wins, and he barely won those fights.
He's 34 years old and soon to be a 31 fight veteran. Nobody gets that far into a career without fighting anybody good by accident. He's not being avoided, he's doing the avoiding.
He thinks he can just go straight from those fringe guys to megafights with GGG or Canelo, but that's not how it works. You have to beat guys in between the fringe level and the P4P greats before you can just call your shot in a megafight. Canelo had to beat half a dozen world champions before he landed names like Mosley and Mayweather, and he had to beat several more champs before he got GGG. And GGG had to run through Ouma, Jacobs, Brook, Lemieux, Geale, etc before he landed a Canelo fight.Mexican_Puppet likes this.

Munguia gained my respect with this fight. He showed his maturity, a solid chin, his heart, skill, and ability to be able to compete against the best. I'd like to see him face GGG or Andrade in 2022.blackbakers

Rosado had 13 losses and a draw coming into the fight and a 2-5 record against world titlists (beating a blown up Joshua Clottey in 2015 and Kassim Ouma way back in 2009).
Rosado also only has 15 KOs in 42 fights and only 2 in the last 9 years. He can't punch. If GGG or Murata or Charlo landed those punches on Muguia he'd go to sleep inside 5 rounds.
