    He fought at 154 in 2017 at age 29. Making weight when you're almost 30 means you somewhat belong at that weight. He wasn't a 22 year old kid camping out at lower weight and bullying smaller fighters. He spent 4 years at MW and last year at SMW. That's 2 divisions.

    There's no lying - those are facts on boxrec you can look up yourself. I don't like Andrade, never did. You gotta be able to not like the fighter, but respect their journey in this sport and have an objective view.

    Benavidez is a tough fight for anyone. He's destroyed his opposition. Andrade took a huge risk, and it did not pay off. Props to him for taking the fight.

      Yes, you are lying by saying he moved up two weight classes when he only moved up one. And techinally he didn't move up at all because he already fought at 168.

      2017? We are end of 2023 now. 6 years. He fought at mw since then and he moved up one weight class. So how the hell is he a natural 154 lber? He outgrew 154 a long time ago. and he outgrew 160. And prior to the benavidez fight he already fought at 168 lbs in January and had a whole year for his body to fill out at 168 lbs and it did. And he's 6 1 and was shredded at 168 lbs. LMAO. He came in heavier than benavidez did at the weigh in.

        Andrade held a world title at 154. He held a world title at 160. He fought David at 168. That's 2 divisions, 154>160>168. I have no clue what you're saying.

        Fighters who can make weight at 30 are fighting in their weight division. I'm not going to argue this point. They stay there until they're close to retirement when they get lazy to make weight. I'm not gonna find a datadump and run analytics for you, but I would not be surprised if 95% of fighters fight at the same weight between age of 27-37.

        Andrade didn't get the fights at 154, and he didn't get the fights at 160. I have no idea who to blame (and neither do you), in my opinion PBC did him dirty. But he sure as hell didn't magically outgrow 154 when he was 30 years old. He took a huge risk and lost. The end.

          lmao. He hasn't fought at 154 since 2017. 6 years. So he didn't move up two weight. classes to fight david. He was already campaigning at 168 prior to the david fight. An example of a fighter who moved 2 weight classes to fight is brooke vs ggg. Not andrade. Canelo also fought at 147 when he was younger. It dosen't mean he's a natural 147 lber or 154 lber anymore. People out grow their divisions.

          The guy that hasn't made 154 since 2017 and is a natural 154 lber with a height of 6 1 and shredded at 168. Alright man. Keep believing that.
