Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade: F--- Canelo! I'm Here At Showtime; Charlo, Plant, Benavidez

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Look man. All I’m saying here is Canelo would struggle with the awkward style that Andrade would bring. Styles. Make. Fights.

I’m not even saying Andrade would beat him. I’m saying it’s not an easy fight for a Canelo and Canelo KNOWS THIS!

He would rather fight easier styles that suits him or bouts that would offer more money. The fight could’ve happened. It didn’t. It probably never will. It’s a shame because I like to see Canelo challenge himself against styles that don’t suite him. Because if he’s as great as he claims, he would fight difficult styles.

He wouldn’t. Andrade isn’t this technical wizard people think he is, he’s nowhere near as well schooled as Lara for example. Canelo would knock him out and look good doing it.

I’m by no means a Canelo fan but he’s fought Mayweather, Lara, Trout, Cotto, Golovkin x3, Jacobs, Saunders, Plant, Smith, Kovalev, Bivol etc and you’re trying to say he won’t fight guys with “difficult styles”. That’s nonsense man. Andrade is an easier nights work than mist of those guys if not all- aside from maybe the old ass GGG Canelo finally got a legit win over.

Damn, you ok?

He DKSAB and is extremely bias.

Canelo rejected a fight with, way before you dismissed a fight with him, so don't try to play us.

Let's Go Champ!

[ShoulderRoll]

Andrade is here at Showtime...and he's fighting Demond Nicholson.

Meanwhile people b-tch that Canelo, coming off surgery, might take it easy by fighting his WBO mando Ryder next.

[Rebelrbg]

Andrade would never fight any of those guys anyways. It’s a moot point.

Yeah, its the very reason he came to Showtime and PBC.

[Rebelrbg]

You fanboys are so delusional man.

I can’t stand Canelo. Massive GGG fan.

However, I’m also a realist and Canelo wasn’t easily outboxed by anyone besides Mayweather.

Canelo easily beats Andrade.

So, Bivol didn't outbox him as well?

[Verus]

Cinnabon's a great fighter, but boxing skills are limited, especially the version that fought the GGG and Bivol fights. He's gotten used to the same plodding, flat-footed, walking his man down, throwing short bursts of power punches, barely jabs, gasses quickly, and repeat style. There are boxers that would make him look silly, if boxing was all that was required. But, we know that there's much more that goes into it, which is the reason why he's able to overcome these flaws, he knows how to dig deep and fight. Great fighter, but limited boxer.

Good points. That boxer vs fighter is a good distinction. This is similar to the distinctiondifference in basketball between a shooter and a scorer.

[Rebelrbg]

I’m the last one to stick up for Canelo. But Andrade is a 2 weight division champ having won 2 vacant titles, and can’t sell out a fight in his own hometown.

why would the most popular guy in the sport fight him? Because he has a belt? There’s four champs per division. Everyone has a belt

To unify or go for undisputed.

[Rebelrbg]

Belts don’t mean sh** anymore. You actually think these ABC baubles have value?

Andrade hasn’t beat ANYONE to PROVE he’d be competitive with Canelo, Golovkin, even Jermall Charlo. That’s why those fights haven’t happened because of Andrade!

Andrade got offered a Jermell fight- he REJECTED it.
He got offered a Korobov fight- he REJECTED it.
He got offered a Zhanibek fight- he REJECTED it.
He got offered a Parker fight to become mandatory for Canelo and guess what: he REJECTED it.

Why should Andrade get a mega payday? Because he won to vacant belts against fighters who never went on to do sh**?

You guys are mental, if you think Andrade is this avoided boogeyman.

Yes, I think that the belts have value in establishing your worth and name as a prize fighter. As long as it a real belt, not a secondary title, the champion secures leverage in negotiations against the top talent in the division. The champion also demands the bigger portion of the purse unless he's fighting to unify, or for undisputed if he has less belts. If Cinnabon's intent was to unify, clearly it was because he fought GGG, or become undisputed, then Andrade EARNED every right to fight him by acquiring a real belt.

[Verus]

Yildirim was a mandatory mandated by Canelo himself, that whole situation was a disgrace in itself.
That's not in anyway, any kind of defense of Andrade who disgracefully pulled out of a fight against Charlo.

Just out of curiosity, how did Canelo make Yildrim a mandatory fight? I thought boxing organizations, not the fighters, determine the mandatory fights. Refresh my memory, but wasn't Yildrim the mandatory scheduled to fight Benevidez for a title belt? And wasn't that fight canceled and Benevidez stripped of his belt because he was too heavy and or tested positive for Coke? Memory dims but I don't recall the usual suspects up in arms about that.

[Rebelrbg]

So Mayweather should have fought Senchenko? He had a belt in the same division. Should he have fought Devon Alexander too? Or Randall Bailey?

Who did Andrade beat to EARN a Canelo fight? Sulecki? Katundowka or whatever his name was?

You guys are mental.

Mayweather didn't have intentions of staying at those weight classes and unifying or going for undisputed. Floyd's plan was to fight the names that would. get him pay similar to Oscar De la Hoya and Roy Jones , because they were getting paid millions more for their fights at the time, and Mayweather felt disrespected by his pay in comparison.

Floyd was trying to fight anyone where victory would establish him as the man. He won championships, then moved up to look for the big name in the next division, until he could afford to buy out his contract under Arum/HBO, and become Money. His intentions weren't about undisputed, he was already 1 P4P, he wanted to be paid what he felt that he was worth.
