Seriously at this point of his career why not go to a different promotion? Can't get too much worse for his career.

Avoided? Sergio Martinez was avoided. So Martinez he moved up in weight to fight the most avoided man in boxing for no title and 300k. He became a draw himself through his accomplishments and earned his opportunities. He's one of the defining names of his era.

Andrade fought a string of bums and gave up his strap to avoid fighting the first halfway decent fighter on his resume in a decade because he's looking to cash out. He's not avoided, he's the one who has avoided the challenges necessary to build and brand and put himself in big fights (IE when he ducked Charlo). He's a nobody and will retire a nobody.

Sure, he messed up the first fight with JermEll Charlo over his dissatisfaction with his purse-not because he feared him. He was the champion and yet he was getting paid less than Charlo. He would've beat JermEll easily I believe.

Yes, he vacated his belt to avoid his mandatory(by all appearances) and pursue more lucrative fights. As long as it results in him facing more difficult/intriguing opposition I don't really care.

He's been ducked by Canelo for the longest and JermAll Charlo has ducked him as well. Why hasn't he been able to get Triple b---h in the ring despite fighting on the same platform for years now? Why did Billy H-e Saunders purposely test positive for PEDS to get out of his fight with Andrade? So he can sell his A$$ and his 0 to Canelo later on down the road-and he did.

Andrade career hasn't been managed the best and he's made some dumb decisions behind the scenes. But I'm not gonna ignore blatant ducks either.

Not sure why you needed to invoke Sergio Martinez's name. He was from the last real era of boxing. Most of these fighters today don't deserve to be mentioned with real boxing greats, because they dont fight the best(for whatever reason).That includes Andrade.
