Comments Thread For: Andrade: My Hat Goes Off To Canelo; Went To That Weak Division, Got Those Guys To Fight Him And Make History

[factsarenice]

Andrade has ducked literally every fighter with a pulse for 31 consecutive fights.

He has the weakest resume of any champion in boxing. All his best wins are against fringe contenders and he won his belts in vacant title fights.

Even Murata and Charlo, who both have paper thin resumes at 160, have at least been in the ring with legitimate champions (N'Dam twice for Murata, GGG next; Bundradge and Williams for Charlo).

Canelo refuses to fight Andrade and you can't make him do it. Canelo has been very clear about that. Personally I don't understand why Canelo is spooked but I'm not him. Namsayn.

Canelo isn't scared, he's fighting much better guys with much better resumes for a lot more money instead. How is this hard to figure out?

When did he duck Lara?? When? Charlo's own Coach said they don't want to fight him you can easily find this on you tube. If you can't I can send it to you. Dude's a boxer not looking for the payday but trying to prove himself. His first promoter was a regional guy and was GARBAGE as he didn't carry enough weight. He left and signed with DAZN / Matchroom and Eddie Hearn is saying the same thing. HE CAN'T GET THE OTHER CHAMPS TO FIGHT HIM!!! Come on man open your eyes. He just want to show these guys his skills. He's beat everyone his promoters have put in front of him. In short Andrade is high risk low reward. I'm in Vegas gyms daily....daily homie and any of these pro guys will tell you how good this guy is....And strong!!! He fought at higher weights in the Olympics. If I had to knock him it would be that after he gets a big lead in a Fight he'll coast along
rather than going for the kill.

Question for you. You don't find it odd that other 160 champs don't call him out? Think about it for sec. Let it sink in. Try to be objective about it.
I thought the goal was to unify against other champs?? Since when was that no longer the goal? Mungia is his mandatory let's see if the fight happens.

Bet Mungia and Golden Boy won't take the fight or mention Andrade's name going forward. Mungia wants to be a champion again right?

Then you'll have a clear understanding of how this business works.

You can also find Canelo ducking Andrade on youtube but nobody wants to talk about that because it doesn't fit their narrative.

Crawford should step up and fight Andrade, if he's really p4p this shouldn't be an issue.

Scared? Honestly....I don't think any fighter is scared. That said, Canelo may not be scared but he most certainly is hand picking opponents with little or even no hope of winning and then blames the more difficult opponents for the fights that never get made. Canelo isn't the only guy doing this but Canelo is the most obvious. Canelo doesn't fight mandatorys and doesn't fight for money because he is the money, Canelo fights exactly whomever he wants, and that list never includes the most difficult opponents in the respective weight class. Nobody in or out of boxing actually believe Plant is better than Benaveidez. Did you? Plant picked up a belt and refused to fight anyone that might take that belt until Canelo showed up with a check book, pure and simple.

As for Makubu, nobody believes that Makubu is a more difficult opponent than Beterbiev, Bivol or Briedis. Makubu is just big, he also gets hit way too much, has a habit of laying on the ropes and gets wobbled in every single fight. Makubu is made to order

For the record, no Canelo hasn't fought anyone like the total package and style that Andrade represents. The closest Canelo has gotten to a prime fighter similar to Andrade is Erislandy Lara. Andrade is a mover like Lara but he's also bigger, stronger with a 73" reach and more power.

Andrade has the size and style to give Canelo the fight of his life and whether you agree or not doesn't change the fact that Canelo certainly does agree with that assessment or that fight would happen. Canelo and to a degree Golovkin choose who they want to fight and neither want a fight with Andrade, Charlo or Benavedez, not the other way around.

Keith Thurman did, he admitted that Andrade beat the shyt out of him.
