make the charlo fight

There are just people who don't like this guy and I cannot fathom why? If you watch the Youtube videos he is in the face of Charlo and Canelo asking to get a fight, and they kick him out of their press conferences.

Then his naysayers keep saying "he hasn't fought anyone". Then I bring up the press conferences and they are like " that doesn't mean anything. What has he done to try to make the fight happen?".

What the heck does that mean? The best way to make a fight happen is to go directly to that boxer and tell them you want to fight them. Am I missing something here?

No you pretty much nailed it... They won't fight Andrade because he's too difficult to fight. His style is a nightmare for them. It's that simple.

make the charlo fight

They can't because Charlo WON"T fight him. They can't make him.

Charlo already said he would fight him and when he said he was moving up, Canelo fled to fight Bivol and GGG. Moral victory for Charlo.

Totally agree with you. I feel Andrade deserves a big fight but he needs to drop the self-pity routine and get creative to make something happen. Say what you want about Eubank Jr but he seems game to fight anyone: Andrade should ask Hearn to let him do a BOXXER-promoted fight with Eubank Jr. There’s plenty of other avenues he can take besides whining about Canelo, Charlo, GGG and Munguia ducking him (though it IS disgraceful that Munguia won’t take a title shot against him).

It's not self pity at this point... He's agreed to fight Canelo for 50% of What Jacobs got back when Canelo pretended to be willing to fight Andrade (to get Kovalev to take the fight with him cheaper instead) He's agreed to fight Munguia, GGG, Charlo, Eubank, Saunders, Liam Smith, and even Benevides! None of them will fight him! At this point there isn't a damn thing he can do except get older and wait for them to see enough flaws to be sure they can beat him! He can't force any of them to sign and apparently DAZN won't pay enough to make the other side sign. It's got nothing to do with Andrade at this point and hasn't since 2014 when he didn't fight the other Charlo when he had the chance... That was 8 years ago and everyone still uses that excuse not to fight him.

WHAT ??? When did JERMALL CHARLO ever agree to fight him ? He had a chance to get close to 7 million dollars and everyone knows it and Charlo refused. Andrade would sign to fight Charlo tomorrow but Charlo is just pretending to want that fight. The entire world knows Charlo is afraid to fight Andrade. He finally gave up and moved up to 168 and now Charlo can have a brand new reason to avoid him,

...yeah I don't see things being any better for Andrade at 168, immediately he is talking about fighting Zach Parker which is exactly the same quality of fighters he been fighting

He might get the WBO at 168 after Canelo drops and he will spend the duration of his career fighting Mandatory's and fighting guys like Aslambek Idigov, Aidos Yerbossynuly, Erik Bazinyan... No he is not fighting Benavidez, Morrall, Plant or any of those guys whom Eddie can't even guarantee he can deliver for him because of Politics. Maybe Andrade vs Lerrone Richards can be a big fight in the UK or something eventually I guess but that would be a damn Snoozer Stylistically

[Themanager]

Boo-Boo either needs to leave or have Hearn put up some serious money to get a big name for him to fight. He needs a war to display his full skill set against a big name opponent. He is the WBO champion why would he have to fight in a eliminator just push to be the mandatory off the rip and get you another belt at 68' then do the same thing at 75' forcing a fight with Canelo. Hearn needs to get him someone great and fast or he'll lose him to PBC by the end of the year.

That's exactly what needs to happen !

I don’t understand why andrade thinks he can force canelo to fight him. Hearn is filling his head with nonsense. Andrade has done nothing in the sport not even beat an opponent the caliber of a derevchenko. Canelo ain’t fighting mandatories. If he wants a big fight why not unify with GGG. The share the same promoter same network affiliations same weight class. Hearn just trying to keep them all on deck without fighting each other as food for nelo. Matchroom is the worst promotion in boxing.

Andrade knows he can't force Canelo to fight him. He's tried all that. He's going to 168 because he can't get any big names to fight him at 160 and the weight is harder to make. GGG refuses to fight him, Munguia has refused to be his mandatory 3 times now and Charlo refuses to fight him so he decided to try 168 and see if anyone up there will. At this point he had to do something different. Fighting Janibek with only 11 fights wasn't going to prove anything.

I’m of that mind that he just doesn’t really care for his American fighters abs I’ve pointed out in the past how nationalistic he has been stating he wanted British fighters to beat American fighters simply because of nationality. If these American fighters want to sign with someone like that it shows how unintelligent they are. They make their beds, they get to lie in them with this bigoted scumbag

Hearn kills me! He signs fighters away from PBC/SHO, then begs PBC fighters to fight his stable! Why is he not working with Oscar/GBP? They're on DAZN!
