    Lol yeah this was my first thought.

    Andrade is talented, but he's not the smartest cat around and has shot himself in the foot a few times and I don't think his gun is empty yet.

    Hope I'm wrong cuz I'd love to see him fight a top guy, but I wouldn't bet on it happening.

      I think you're not wrong. They were trying to make a fight with him and Derevyanchenko again recently but i don't think it's happening. Last I heard he wanted Spike O'Sullivan.

        Andrade won't go anywhere near Jacobs. He's got skills but no real confidence.

          andrade vs sergiy/ibf
          murata/wba
          jacobs chasing Billy joe/wbo

          imo, golovkin wont face any of them because he is gonna lose the rematch to canelo. then canelo will vacate all the belts so he doesn't have any mandatory obligations
          Golovkin never ducked anyone. Andrade on the other hand ducked the hell out of the Charlos and Lara though. We'll be lucky if he even fights this year. Furthermore, Golovkin walks him down and pummels him.

            Andrade's shot now. Too much inactivity.

              Will Andrade fight anyone with a pulse ever? Is the real question.

              I like him he's got skills but how much longer before the guy actually steps up and fights someone?
              Way too inactive and when he does fight the opponents are of zero threat.

                I wouldn't say he's shot, but its certainly not good for younger fighters to be on the sidelines as much as he is.

                I think too many young cats true ceilings are NEVER reached cuz of this bs. And its more often than not promoters steering guys too safety, but with Andrade specifically I think he's effed up a few fights personally.

                Maybe thats just me being biased against the guy doe cuz as stated I think he's not the brightest mfer around doe idk.

                  Spike O' Sullivan lol exactly what I'm saying.
                  That's almost Rod Salka levels of cherry picking.

                    Real question is why is Jacobs not calling out Andrade?
                    Andrade hasn't been looking good in his last 2 fights.
                    Jacobs should be taking advantage of the name,
                    instead of looking for another Arias for his next fight.

                      He was skillful no doubt but the performance graft dips if you stay away like he did. Your reflexes might never be the same and his are gone. An injury is better than staying on the sidelines because with an injury the physios will get you firing.
