David Morell The Future of 168 & 175

[just the facts]

Andrade didn't run over to PBC just to immediately take an L

Given his history, Andrade didn’t run over to PBC to fight good fighters either.

Exactly.

That's the point I was making, since "good fighters" will give him that 0. The best ranked fighter Andrade has faced in his career was Vanes and that was ten years ago.


Just found this from an article. "Pound-for-pound king Floyd "Money" Mayweather is the WBC and WBA champion. Andrade isn't ready for that challenge, but he could have success against newly-crowned IBF title holder, Carlos Molina."

Instead he fought 2 guys nobody had ever heard of, Willie Nelson and Jack Culcay.

Too soon to state that but he does have a lot of good qualities.

I could very well see him beating most if he pans out the way I think he may.

It’s really kinda phucked up because I actually think Andrade is a quality fighter. Unfortunately he seems to only want to prove it if he gets a HUGE purse. Boxing doesn’t work that way.

Who knows how good he is at this point. His balance is terrible, and he could go 12 rounds with a broom

[-Kev-]

Has he beaten anyone that Benavidez wouldn't have destroyed?

He hasn’t beaten anyone of note. Morrell is boxingscene’s current resident hype job. I don’t care how good he ends up becoming, right now, he’s a total hype job. Good for him for calling out big names and getting hype for himself like that. That was almost too easy. Who knew that’s all you had to do to get noticed. Worked for Berlanga too for a moment.

With Bivol around this guy will not take over 175.
