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

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.Comment

They are coming back to haunt him cuz he was the one who pulled out of the Jermell Charlo for Dec. 13 in 2014 but he's the one talking poo poo....LMMFAO!Comment

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.Comment

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.LMMFAO!

I didn’t watch that one. Writing was on the wall. I’m not waiting up til 5 a.m. to watch GGG vs anyone who isn’t on his level.
I’m not staying up to watch Canelo fight Rocky.
I’m not staying up to watch Andrade fight his new challenger.
But I did watch Charlo fight a lame duck because I hadn’t seen him fight live at that point. I know Heiland from fighting Macklin and he is a decent fighter but to see a fight on that stage with a very badly injured fighter for me is indicative of a boxing culture that ‘pays fighters what they’re worth’ but obviously only pays one fighter what he’s worth.
So yeah it did put me off. It is jarring.
But will tune in when he fights the upper echelons of his division. But that fight should have been scrapped.
My Grandad used to use a phrase ‘I’m alright, Jack’
It means to say if you’re alright then all is well. That Charlo fight smacked of that. Someone should have known Heiland was lame.Comment

That Charlo knocking over a
guy that should have been on an operating table and not in a ring has actually put me off both Charlo’s for some reason.
That was a properly awful night of boxing
So you got put off BOTH Charlos cuz on ONE fight between the TWO of them wasn't competitive because the top dogs WON'T fight them??? Got it.......LMMFAO!Comment

I explained why. If that fight goes through then others will too and for both since I’m assuming their managed by the same people.
Not necessarily the fighters fault, you say the top fighters won’t fight them.
I say that I’ve seen a severely injured fighter feel obligated to get in the ring with one of them for fear of losing a cheque presumably.
100% it put me offComment
