I mean of course he'll target the Canelo or GGG fight but realistically he has a very slim chance to of landing one. I doubt the BJS/Lemieux winner takes him as a voluntary. I doubt Hearn puts Jacobs in with him. He's gonna be on the outside looking in again I think.
    I aree I would pick him to beat all at 54(though it would not be easy with Lara,Charlo)But I think he will get in mix at 160 HBO runs that div(like Showtime runs 54)and I don't think they would have signed him to 3 fight deal if they did not have plans for him.imo

      I really hope they do. I hope they keep him active as well. He's a guy who should be fighting at least 2-3 times a year

        I don't see Andrade doing much in the MW division. His performance in his debut at the weight was not special against Fox. The division's heavy hitters will give him hell.

          I think he's a tough fight for anyone at 160, whether he beats them though is another matter. He'd give Canelo hell IMO, that's a real bad stylistic matchup for Canelo. I get what your saying, but you have to remember Andrade is over 6ft tall. I'm pretty sure he's the same size or slightly taller than Danny Jacobs, who's huge at MW.

            All the 'lights' and 'supers' piss me off.

            I would get rid of all of the 'in between' divisions. The 'light middleweight' the 'super middleweight' the super flyweight'. All of those.

            Go back to the way it was. Simpler is better.

                  A 6-5 160pder who don't throw anything is VERY hard for a counter puncher to look good with.

                    Andrade can't just wait all night to counter. He has to mount some kind of offense. He hurt the guy early and just got very cautious for the rest of the night when Fox didn't fold.

                      He is not "hunter" type.For his style that was a very hard style to look great.But he still won every round.
