Comments Thread For: Espinoza: What I Respect About Benavidez & Andrade Is They're Not Waiting [For Canelo]

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Yeah I mean Andrade totally hasn’t been waiting an entire decade just chasing paydays and avoiding legitimate competition.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Andrade didn't wait for anybody period. The guy tried to fight everybody at 154, 160 and now 168. Because he was ducked he had to fight mandatory after mandatory. finally he had enough and changed promoters and weight classes. So try to enjoy the two most ducked boxers fighting each other

He categorically rejected fights with Korobov, Jermell Charlo, Janibek and Parker.

Do you guys willingly ignore his past decisions?

Andrade is the boy who cried wolf of boxing.

I'd buy this fight, if I wasn't still reeling from that "mega-fight" in July...

I'll stream it's for sure, though. Should be a good scrap.

They tried waiting, it didn't work.

Didn't Andrade have a fight lined up with Charlo at 154, contract agreement basically a done deal only to back out at the last minute? stop it with all the non-sense....

Andrade has ducked basically everybody, and has fought nobody. Despite having won the WBO 154, WBA secondary 154, and WBO 160, he has YET to fight a single actual world champion, former or not. Not even a secondary titlist. Jack Culcay with his WBA interim is the closest he's come to a champion, and he only won that on a split. He won his first WBO title on a split against Vanes Martirosyan. He claimed he was wanting to fight Lara, but pulled out for the aforementioned Culcay fight saying he'd only fight Lara "as a last resort." He won his last title against unheralded fighter Walter Kautondokwa, and even hit him while he was down in that fight, which was ignored by the ref. He then proceeded to fight nothing but weak mandatories until Janibek became his mandatory, and then immediately fled to 168, vacating his belt. Why are people impressed with this guy?

Both Andrade and Benavidez have made some poor career choices but it’s laughable when Canelo fans try to say things like, if Andrade fought Parker he would’ve landed the Canelo fight. Or if Benavidez didn’t get stripped for missing weight, Canelo would’ve fought him. That’s all nonsense. Andrade had the only title Canelo needed at mw to unify and Canelo had no interest. Andrade was slated to face Saunders when Saunders got caught cheating yet Saunders landed a Canelo fight and Andrade didn’t. Canelo petitioned the wbc for the title Benavidez was stripped of 2 days after he was stripped yet never asked for a title shot while he was champ. Benavidez has had mandatory status for a while now, yet Canelo chose a jmw instead. So yes, they’ve made bad choices but either way, Canelo has shown he’s not interested in fighting either.

Best matchup 50/50 and their whiskers will be tested
