How do you guys see Demetrius Andrade fitting in at 154?

[BoxingGenius27]

Him and Omar Henry (RIP) were my rising prospects...

How do you guys see Andrade in the next year or so going against the best 154 has to offer?

In the next year or so, I think he fairs pretty well against the best on any given night.

Being from Providence I'm a bit biased, but the kid has great potential to be a major player. Hopefully he will pan out.

Like you said he is still a year away from the top ten, he might be good but it is hard to tell this early.

his team is taking an awfully long cautious approach with him, I think they might know something about him the rest of the boxing community doesn't.

He just fought Hernandez so thats a good step up. I think the problem here is his promoter or manager.

Looks like he's called out Dzinziruk, Kirkland and Molina and they didn't want the fight. He also says Canelo isn't anything special and anything to worry about and the fact that he hasn't fought anyone:

He used to throw weird dangling punches, with no coordination at all, but I've seen great improvement his last few fights. Without him really facing tough opposition, I'm ready to go as far as to say he's beat everyone in that division besides maybe Canelo, dead serious. That reach of his is insane and he knows how to apply it, he's also learned how to fight inside.

He's about as good as canelo, right now.

He beat Brewer after he was coming off that huge win over Guerrero. Some say he beat Hernandez more convincingly than Lara. Not that that means anything, just pointing it out.
