    4. Signed a 3 fight deal with HBO
    5. Blatantly turned down a Sergiy fight - which would have made him mandatory to GGG
    6. Gets dropped by HBO after his Fox performance. HBO decided not to budget anymore of his last 2 fights remaining on his deal

    The guy has messed up any and all opportunities that were presented to him. Most of these very opportunities he squandered away were the very opportunities that he worked so darn hard for.

    Ladies and gentleman: this is what happens when you ALL you care about is your undefeated record.

    I'm not fooled by him calling out Hurd, Lara, Jermall, Jermell, Canelo, GGG. Because when it came to challenge himself and make a name for himself and take a risk, he opted out.
    Ok here we go again....
    1) True... in Dcember 201 he turned down Charlo (because he was offered several million dollars from JayZ to turn it down and sign with them!!! Big mistake). Andrade agreed to fight Charlo in January 2014 but Charlo turned it down! Nobody mentions that. Lol
    2) Andrade was NEVER offered a fight against Trout!
    3) Andrade was begging for the Lara fight for 6 months but when showtime finally told him Lara didn't want it then he fought Culcay in Germany to become the regular champion for only $67,000 in order to force Lara to fight. Then found out that Lara was still not going to fight him and the WBA wasn't going to make it mandatory like they promised Andrade they would!! So Andrade went up to middleweight!
    4) TRUE... But HBO declined the 2nd option because they found out none of their top guys would fight him. Jacobs, Lemieux, and then when Canyellos team said they had ZERO interest in fighting Andrade then HBO walked away from Andrade. They told him they had no choice. Nobody would fight him!
    5) False. Offered to fight Chenko for $100k! In January and Feb!!!
    6) see #4

    Andrade made 1 mistake in December 2013 and has paying for that mistake ever since.

      Andrade made 1 mistake in December 2013 and has paying for that mistake ever since.
      There was almost a second meaningful middleweight fight made for December 16. Keith Connolly, Sergiy Derevyanchenko’s manager, told BoxingScene.com that the unbeaten middleweight agreed to face Demetrius Andrade on the Billy Joe Saunders-David Lemieux undercard December 16 in Laval, Quebec. The deal was almost finalized, but Andrade withdrew from negotiations because the undefeated contender didn’t think he had enough time to prepare for such a difficult fight against Derevyanchenko (11-0, 9 KOs).


      He pulled out of the deal with Sergiy. He had a reason. But he did anyway. And blatantly.

      As far as Trout - the fight was never offered because when someone mentioned him, he said he had no reason to fight to fight someone with 2 losses. So, you're right though. He didn't turn down Trout. My mistake on that one.

      As far as Lara goes, yeah, that ******. He was super champ so he didn't HAVE to face Andrade. Blame WBA for that silly ****. But to leave the entire weightclass because he couldn't one fighter is wild. Before he even got the regular belt, he was ranked high in damn near every sanctioning body. He could've mandatoried his way against either one of the Charlos. He chose not to. There's a reason he steered clear of them. I have no clue what it is though.

      Bottom line is this: Andrade squandered away opportunities. He likes to play the victim as to why he hasn't had big fights. Most people mandatory their way into big fights. He chose not to (outside of Lara). You have people like him who make excuses time after time, but remains unbeaten, but his only notable wins are split decisions to both Vanes and Culcay. Then you have people like Austin Trout who never says no, is always ready to fight, he doesn't win all of his big opportunities, but he never turns them down or make excuses as to why he shouldn't take them.

      Andrade is long, rangy, big, agile. He had all the tools to be great at 54. He threw it away.
