I may not like Canelo but stylistically it’s a terrible fight for him. Not because he won’t win but because Andrade’s style would stink up the joint. Still not the majority of fight fans want to see.

We all know Canelo vs. GGG III is coming in September! Let's stop fooling ourselves! Andrade, Jacobs, and Charlo all need each other in a big way! Nobody looks like Must-See TV lately, so it's not in their best interest to avoid each other any longer! 2 out of 3 have to fight each other, and the winner should get Canelo next!
On another note, Charlo should give some thought to 168! Benavidez in the west, or Eubank Jr. in the east? Maybe even Jacobs in the middle? Very nice options!Comment

This would a very bad style match up for Canelo. This guy is too big, a southpaw and doesn't throw enough punches or sit still long enough in the pocket for Alvarez to counter or to really capitalize on him. Andrade is a safety first fighter; Like Money May and Erislandy Lara were. We saw the trouble he had with Jacobs and he is not even considered a pure boxer but Canelo had trouble hurting and putting his punches together consistently against him as well.Comment

that is another story because there is no defending ggg fighting a guy like rolls. But I have seen Canelo fans shoot down Smith as an option because he's not in canelos level. I've seen the same said about charlo. Referencing him struggling vs dervey or going 12 last night as to a reason why he isn't worth canelos time. Just on this port alone, you see people say how andrade hasn't beaten anyone or isn't on canelos level. Ggg needs to get a belt because he isn't deserving. So if all of those options are beneath Canelo according to them, then who should he fight? Let's be real, Canelo had a close win vs ggg in the 2nd fight and another close win vs Jacobs. Both of those fights were 1 round off from being scored majority draws. People are on here acting like he's dismantling his opposition and is along the lines of a prime Roy Jones. It's crazy. Any of the above options I mentioned dgive canelo a real run for his money right now.Comment

I know. I expect him to win but it would be a very boring fight. Canelo shines in moments where he is fighting someone who is static, throws lots of punches and is not afraid of getting hit like GGG.
Guys who refuse to throw punches or sit still in the pocket long enough to get hit, have a tendency of disrupting and throwing off Ginger's timing. Alvarez is a counter puncher. Therefore, he needs an opponent who is willing to trade and stand in the pocket with him.Comment

Bad style match up for Canelo as a few people have mentioned, but I don’t see Andrade being busy enough or landing enough eye catching shots against Nelo to get a decision.
To get a decision against Canelo you’re either going to have to stop him or win very clearly. Andrade doesn’t seem to be the kind of fighter to do either.Comment

It's the logical next step, Andrade was barely touched last night, a sparring session, physically, there is nothing preventing him from going back to the gym in 3 weeks, and preparing for Canelo.
What's more likely, is that Andrade smokes out GGG, and fights him in the fall. GGG has nowhere to go that matters except up, he could go after Callum Smith, but thats about it, if he stays at 160, he has to fight DA, no two ways about it.Comment
