    When asked on Twitter if he was ready to face GGG on May 5th, he tweeted




    and later




    In due time.. I think you know what that means. Not facing GGG anytime soon.
    Then he should shut his mouth

      So I don't see why not.
      He's fighting Centeno on the 21st, they aren't going to let him come back and fight two weeks later.

        But you can’t blame them. This is on Canelo.
        I have mixed feelings about the whole situation, while I agree they aren't to blame, I also don't know physically the impact it has on a fighter stretching camp an extra month to give BJS time to be ready. Andrade while i'm not a fan of the guy, anyone that's a threat I do think a full camp is fair to all involved because as the saying go "you train for the type of opponent in front of you." While Mungia, O'Sullivan, etc aren't fights I particularly want to see its still a big catch-22.

          Agreed. It's just a sh-tty situation for the fans anyway you cut it.

                yup, if he really wanted the fight he'd drop this weak fight on the 21st and get this may 5th date. but he won't.

                  Cancelling that fight for such a major payday shouldn't be an issue.

                    If it was I am sure he would've pressed the issue but he hasn't. I at least like how Andrade and Sergiy went about their interest. Both would've been better fights than what's currently rumored.
