Comments Thread For: Andre Rozier Wants Demetrius Andrade To Return To The Middleweight Division

[boxing IQ]

The guys at 168 are too big for Andrade, whose never exactly been a knockout artist at the lower weight classes anyway.

On the flip side, he did just go against the Monster. Let his next fight be the decider. Would like to see him back in action either way.

It's not so much 168 being too much for Andrade it's more the fact that Benavidez is really a LHW that can make 68. Boo Boo got done the same way most get done but that doesn't mean he can't compete at 68 if that's what he wants to do..

Benavidez will move up soon, only reason he doesn't is because deep down the Benavidez's know that built in advantage goes away and skill comes more into play, and If we're keeping it real, Benavidez isn't all that skilled..

I disagree andrade is 36 and probably has outgrown the 160 division I dare say he would still be fighting there if he could.

The writing just might be on the wall for Andrade, that his retirement is near. It also appears to me that Rozier, is usually in the losing fighters corner.
I mean besides Daniel Jacob, who wound up leaving his stable once Andre started training a group of Ukrainian fighters, Dozier hasn't had a long reigning champion.

Just cash the check and get a head start on your future bro. Invest some of it and take some damn classes. Some of these trainers man, tf is he gonna really do at his age? Rebuild, take unnecessary punishment, you’ve got a few dollars and your senses. Use the time to start chapter 2 of your life. Hell a highlight reel of this dudes best fight moments is like 2 minutes long. He ain’t going back to 160 to make 20 million.

Great advice.

let him fight Janibek and see where he stands

BooBoo earned the reputation as a bad business partner. He pulled out of a fight with Mel after the deal was done. He was the champion at 154 and his mandatory chose to fight a handicapped James Kirkland but I digress. Instead of bitching at Al Haymon why didn't DAZN make it's two champions under its banner sole the reason BooBoo went to DAZN fight him?

Because you ultimately can't force boxers to face each other. That's why I perceive Boxing more as a business than as a sport. When Matchroom was having trouble making in-network match-ups, they tried to get Jermall. Canelo/GGG/Munguia not fighting Andrade doesn't excuse Jermall from not fighting him. It should've been Benavidez/Morrell and Jermall/Andrade, but Jermall was so damn inactive that he needed a tune-up.

Additionally, Andrade didn't really follow Canelo to DAZN; he signed with Matchroom during HBO's death throes and fought on DAZN about two months before Canelo did.

Andrade should've never left MW, assuming he can still make it. RJJ-94-02=GOAT mentioned that Andrade should face Morrell, and that may be his only option now. Andrade used to have some leverage at MW because he had a title. Without a title, what bargaining power does Andrade have?

Very little. Doesn’t draw, coming off a poor performance. Morrell stops him too I reckon.
