Comments Thread For: Andrade: I've Been Fighting Mandatories All My Life; It Gets Sickening; Let's Get Marquee Names

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

In 31 fights you’ve fought just 2 mandatory challengers.

Not to mention there is zero entertainment in his fights.

He's actually starts off pretty well, as he usually drops his opponents early but he seems to be content on just coasting there after. I actually enjoy watching him in there as he's skilled as anyone at 160-68 and will give anyone in and around those weight classes a run for thier money. Let's be honest Canelo and Jermall have never been keen on facing him and it's not because he's "boring".

Andrade has ducked himself though,Janibek being the most cowardly, so he deserves just as much criticism as the guys whom have ducked him. Both him and Jermall have really **** the bed,wasting thier prime haven't they,smh.

He signed specifically with Hearn and Dazn to get fights with Canelo, Mungia, Lil g, Saunders etc..., and all of you guys applauded Hearn signing him to a contract. Somehow thinking Hearn one upped Haymon. Yet somehow all of those guys I mentioned avoided him in broad daylight and you guys gave Hearn and all of those "non black fighters" a pass. Talk about double standards.

There it is, the race card. People have played it so much it's essentially useless at this point. If he was too ****** to make sure he'd get a big fight by signing then it's his fault. It's always on someone else. My God, does anyone take personal responsibility anymore? He has done nothing since Vanes back in 2013. He never dazzled, was wack on the mic and seemed only half interested in his career during his tine with Hearn. Keep carrying water for this whiney ass clown. Also I should note Hearn is a lousy ass promoter, I agree with that 100%

He’s definitely his own worst enemy in how he has conducted himself and his career and no one forced him to sign with the knobhead Hearn but you actually have a point. He did seem to have more backers on here when he was signed with hearn. People really lit into Charlo and they were saying Charlo needed to fight on dazn but those calls seem to have totally dried up. I wonder why?

Does this man just not pay attention to boxing? You got guys like Ennis and Thurman submitting formal papers to the organizations to get title matches they otherwise wouldn't and don't deserve. Porter doing the same to get his match against Crawford that otherwise, Top Rank wouldn't have accepted.

Go fight under the WBC, go get an eliminator match and boom, there goes his marquee fight. But this man sits on his hands more than any other boxer I've ever seen.

Could've activate the clause in the WBO to move up a weight class, vacate his current belt, to get an automatically title fight at a discount purse. But did he? Nope.

Man has been bsing.

[Combat Talk Radio]

“What is the reward for fighting a guy [like Alimkhanuly]? I already did that,” Andrade said. “Then, we don’t even know where this guy [Bentley] came from, London or something like that, and he goes 12 tough rounds with him. It’s just like, yo, this is what you guys want me to continue to I would like to say waste my time fighting these type of fighters, when I’m mentioning and wanting to get in there with the guys in my generation? Like Charlo, Plant, Triple-G, Canelo, Jaime Munguia. Those are the guys that’s in my generation, right there, not this Janibek guy.”

So if I'm reading this right...

Andrade DOESN'T want to fight the kind of guys that Crawford prefers to fight.

I think we solve this with a catchweight fight: Crawford vs. Andrade.

Andrade is the only “boogeyman” or high risk low reward guy that couldn’t eventually get the big fights. GGG, Spence, Lara etc all got big fights eventually despite being ducked or having low reward high risk styles. Shakur has a super hard style to deal with and got Valdez in the ring with him. Now, is it because Andrade is just that dangerous or because he wasted his career and made bad choices? Him struggling with Williams says the later.

Andrade is about two steps away from "I got these cheeseburgers, man!"

I don't think he struggled with Williams he got caught with a few shots an buzzed but he won majority of the rounds an he looked the better boxer even Williams himself said andrade was very hard to work out. He's a good fighter an very awkward but he's one of these guys whos seen as a who needs him because of that an also yeah he has made bad decisions in his career but he's on the showtime platform so hopefully we see him fight someone of note in next 12 months otherwise it's pretty much done for him

[STREET CLEANER]

The set up fights that he didn't take has put him in the position that he is in now. He comes off as entitled but he has not earned the shot for big money. He didn't make the case for himself and no one is demanding him against any top fighter.
