Comments Thread For: Andrade: I'm Ready To Replace Canelo, Fight Golovkin on May 5

[siablo14]

Philadelphia, PA /White Plains, NY - Undefeated, two-time world champion Demetrius Andrade (25-0, 16 KOs) is ready and available for a showdown with unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, should Canelo Alvarez not be cleared by the Nevada State Athletic Commission on April 10th for his May 5th rematch with Golovkin.

No. Andrade should fight another contender who is free. GGG should fight Saunders or Jacobs but Jacobs has a fight.

Starting VADA this late for a May 5th date is useless. Why wasnt Andrade already doing VADA to start with? He could have cycled PEDs at literally the same exact time as Canelo did, and the tests at this point wouldn't catch him now either.

Stop ducking Deryvanchenko and lying about it! "No one wants to fight me" actually Deryvanchenko does. STOP DUCKING!!!

I’m good with that as long as I get my money back for Canelo/ggg. I’m not paying $1700 for these two

Not sure what the rest of you guys are talking about, but andrade would be a very good replacement. If 3g was to win then it would arguably be the biggest win of his career also. Make it happen!!!

Where was Andrade when GGG was in his prime? Hiding out at 154, same as Charlo, despite both of them being naturally bigger than GGG. Now suddenly they want to talk tough once GGG is way past his prime. Yes I said WAY past it, you can tell if you compare his recent fights to his older ones, he has lost soooo much speed and explosiveness it's crazy he's still got his belts at all at this stage. All he has left is his jab and even that has slowed down lately.

I would give Andrade a good shot to win at this point, but again what's the point? You ducked him in his prime, you don't deserve to swoop in once he's old and take all his credit for yourself because you beat him when he was 36 years old, if Andrade even could beat old GGG which is no guarantee either.

I hope GGG says screw all you duckers, and moves to 168. Saunders is the only ducker he has to fight just to try to get the belt. After that, if GGG wins, which is far from a guarantee at this point as well (that's how past it GGG is even Billy "GGG would beat me and Eubank on the same night" Joe Saunders is now a huge threat to him), move to 168, and leave all the duckers who hung out at 154 during his prime like Charlo, Andrade, Hurd, Lara, Canelo, and so on, to sort things out for themselves, and earn their own stripes fighting prime opponents.

I mean, 160 is a very hot division right now. Can you imagine if Andrade beat GGG? 160 would go from the hottest division in boxing to Adonis Stevenson, sorry I mean Andrade, holding three of the four belts and ducking guys for the next 5 years. It would be a disaster for the sport.

Poetic justice, that would be funny

Poo-poo ducked Derverychenko, or whatever his name his so he should STFU. If Canelo gets suspended it's gonna be Saunders.

First thing you should learn is how to spell "triple", secondly, what? What does GGG not want any of? Andrade? He's the biggest underachiever since AB and Felix Verdejo. The dude looked like garbage against Culcay, a guy he should've demolished and beat a non-contender, domestic level opponent in Fox in a snoozefest. What exactly does GGG not want a part of? The weaker purse he will get for demolishing a pseudo contender?

I think he's being sarcastic, I'm somewhat familiar with his posting style.

But I agree with everything you said. Andrade has more or less made himself irrelevant by ducking top fighters and being inactive. I've seen nothing from him that makes me think he'd stand a chance against Golovkin and nothing that would make a top fighter think twice about fighting him. Frankly he doesn't even deserve a Golovkin fight but if that's what we have to settle for, I guess I won't complain.

Great replacement if it happens

[Graz]

There’s just too much money involved for the rematch so it’s unlikely it will be cancelled. But if for some reason the Canelo fight craps out, Saunders is the best alternative so that Golovkin can unify and secure his legacy.

Demetrius doo-doo Andrade has no place in this division yet he looked mediocre at best in his last fight garbage ass dude.
