    He also arguably lost to Culcay. He is basically Lara wannabe but much less talented, skilled and athletic than him. Also, his reach ain't that long.

    I am pretty sure Saunders would clown him and box his ears off in 2018 but PEDs ruined that fight. He would be snack fight for Canelo in 2019. Canelo was demon against Jacobs.

      Actually Saunders was favored to beat him and the fight qas litterly 45 minutes away from Andrade's home. While Saundes crossed the pond into enemy territory and still was favored. Andrade still has never even fought a champ or ex-champ. That's just SAD.

      We know dang well if Canelo did fight him Andrade's own mom would pick Canelo.

          Loma Mikey had 2 each not 3/1. Still 1 fight away from undisputed that we should have got was only a small time frame and Mikey decided to go the Spence route.

            Mayweather missed the opportunity to fight a whole generation of guns

            He could've fought Thurman, Brook, Spence, & Porter.

            Canelo avoided Andrade at 154, 160, and now 168.

            It'd be different if Canelo only fought killers, but he could've unified with Andrade twice, but fought guys like Rocky Fielding and Anvil Yildrim or whatever, plus all those British dudes named "Liam" that nobody cared about.

                In the 4 belt era, What are some past examples where 1 champion held 3 belts and missed the opportunity to have the undisputed fight with the fighter who had the 4th belt

                Mayweather had 3 after Pac. Brook had IBF. Mayweather could easily have made that fight and won that fight but there was no mention of it. I know Brook wasn't a big US name but he fought Berto instead who wasn't exactly a big name himself. Missed opportunity for undisputed to go down on his resume

                Canelo after Jacobs had 3 belts. Andrade had the 4th. Missed opportunity again more chance he could have been undisputed in 2 divisions whereas will be harder for him to do it at 175

                AJ had 3 after Parker. Never fought Wilder who had the 4th belt. Another missed opportunity for what would have been a huge legacy fight and one of the biggest fights in heavyweight history. Still would be huge but not the same as a 2018 fight would have been

                Current opportunities
                Usyk (3) vs Fury (1)
                Beterbiev (3) vs Bivol (1)
                Spence (3) vs Crawford (1)
                Canelo is the biggest ducker out of all of those. Why? Because he and Andrade are both fighting on the same network yet somehow Canelo avoided him like the plague for undisputed.

                  I think he should have gone for undisputed. But he decided to go for the harder fight in Kovalev instead of Andrade who's fought journeymen his whole career
