Comments Thread For: Andrade: I Want Big Fights, Not Face Lesser Guys Like Charlos Do

[Kiowhatta]

Andrade is saying exactly what the fans want to hear. But can he seriously back it up? If he gets past KD and picks up the WBO strap, who will he fight then?

These statements have a way of coming back to haunt you, so he better walk the talk.

Don't know about the African fighter, but Andrade should outclass him. I think Andrade would probably outclass Charlo too (all about the style matchup). Would be a very tough fight for GGG but I think Andrade wins (also matchup). I think Canelo would probably be close with the decision going to Canelo.

It's frustrating because so many people rate him high but he's not very active and not always very entertaining.

Andrade is chinny with very little power. His best wins were 2 SD's against Martirosiyan & Jack Culcay and you think he can beat GGG

Yawn. Been waiting for Andrade to fight the "lesser" guys like the Charlo's fighting for a couple years now & Andrade ain't even did that yet. He's a talented mfer, but he ain't even stepped up to the level of the Charlo's so idk wtf he's dogging them for.

He makes a good point though. It isn't Andrade's fault that Saunders failed a drug test.

Dude does seem to have a lot of bad luck though... Demetrius is a talented fighter, but when the highlight of your career is an SD win over Vanes something ain't working. I think mainly his problems have been promotional so maybe signing with Hearn will turn things around but only time will tell if Matchroom will have been a good choice in the US market.

sucks for Boston/boxing fans not to see the Saunders vs andrade fight but this fight against the power puncher kautondokwa is the more exciting matchup..andrade wins easily

Says the guy that has faced worse opponents than the charlos.

[rickJen]

Dude you literally made a post with zero facts and nothing but lies. The offer was like 300k for Charlo, and he said he was going a route other than Lara because he is boring.

Doe, Charlos of today are still undercard fighters and they make $300K - $500K.
Just imagine what they were years ago. They're nobodies.
Thing is Haymon has no love for outsiders, especially when they are threats to his protected fighters.
Not that it would make any difference if Andrade was PBC fighter.
At least, he would have lined up bums making $1 mil each, and without fighting his fellow top fighters.
Ask Erislandy Lara.

Yeah I do with certain caveats. First off, his win against Vanes shouldnt have been an SD. Didn't see the Culcay fight but I know Culcay is a scrapper fighting in his home country. Also, while I prefer to watch the styles of punchers I find that good punchers typically lose to good boxers when faced against each other. I think GGG has lost a step or two as of recent. My caveat is that I haven't seen Andrade fight recently because he hasnt fought recently so maybe he has lost something too.

As far as Andrade being "chinny", I only know of the Vanes KD which didn't seem like he was hurt but more off balanced. Have there been other knockdowns?

I'm no Andrade fan, but if they were to fight around now, I'd favor Andrade.

He doesn't have a point cuz this fool (Boo Boo) pulled out of the Charlo fight years ago.

[j.razor]

NEWS FLASH: The Charlo's have a better resume than you and they are more active. What, is this your first time fighting more than once in a year since about five or six years ago lol haha

He also pulled out of the Charlo fight years ago....LMMFAO!
