    Lara, Saul and the Charlos better watch out.....imo I'd favor Boo Boo over all of them except jermall....Jermall Charlo would be the best fight and 50/50

    154 has too many undefeated fighters just like 154
    I hope he does because I need more fights to get excited about like I was for Charlo/Williams. Even though I though Williams would give Charlo the business, I have no choice but to respect Charlo from this day forward. He made Williams look like a prospect with that uppercut.
    I can see him getting a shot at all of them except Canelo. Oscar is not putting Canelo in with any Haymon fighters or top tier boxers like Andrade IMO. Lara was the last time Canelo will face a Haymon fighter unless its a complete mis-match in Canelo's favor.

      Canelo has no choice but to move up...Lara almost beat him, Jermall and Boo Boo i would favor because of style, skills, and temperment....he has between a rock and a hard place. 2017 will be interesting to see what GB does with canelo

        I like Boo Boo. I think he's very skilled & talented + will be at worst competitive with anyone in his division, but I think he's his own worst enemy (not unlike Kirkland) & I could sadly easily see him go another year without fighting any of the top 154 guys we would all wanna see fight each other.

        As always with this sorta opinion I'm hoping I'm incorrect, but between his lacking in the boxing business acumen department to his team which also seems to lack in that category I think the smart money is on him likely having his standard longer than needed layoffs + not fight the guys he should be fighting at this point in his career.

          Andrade needs to start fighting dudes and not be so picky about it, once he gets 1 Charlo or Lara in the ring he gets them all because all those dudes are tight.

          Who is the first domino in that mix is unimportant as is the amount he gets paid because as long as he wins it goes up each time. If he gets though them all then he is a guy that has to be taken seriously even if he moves up.


          The table is set for him he just needs to not turn his nose up at what is served to him first.

            Little red is surrounded by ass whippings at every turn.

            GGG might actually be his most winnable fight....he's old and soft in the belly,with **** for defense.

              skillwise, their natural dimensions...He'd have an easier time with GGG than Boo or Jermall....tall long, quick guys with inside skill...GGG pretty much is what you see is what you get.....he doesn't utilize his jab enough when he doesn't respect his opponents either

                  Andrade against any of the top boys at 154 or 160 would be good but him and his team are perennial **** ups.

                    Well he is ranked in the top 3 in all 4 sanctioning bodies and he is the mandatory to the WBC and the WBA. It's really his choice what he wants to do and who he wants to pursue.

                      Boxing at it's current state, it will probably take 3 years to see these people fight each other. These are fighters with same adviser and network, mind you.
