Eddie called a Golden Boy and said Andrade is willing to fight! So technically yes they talked and Golden boy said "can he be ready" Andrade's side said HELL YES!! But Golden Boy NEVER made any financial offer!!! You can't have an offer without an amount !!!!! There was never a financial offer. Just like I've been saying the entire time.

[Wizardsh]

what a pile of ( sh it ) excuse. Charlo, Andrade and lil G are ready.

Better idea is have these clowns fight each other and winner gets canelo?

Lara and GGG BOTH got fights for stalking and showing up at his fights and post interviews. Andrade was offered the fight DAZN said no! Don’t be Fkn ******

DAZN spent millions and millions of dollars on Andrade. He's had 3 fights in 8 months. Lost a total of 1 round since he's been with DAZN and you think DAZN doesn't want him fighting Canelo or GGG !!! And you think I'm full of ****. Lmao

GGG ain't fighting either of them ever if he can help it.

[Josef Devu]

popped some kind of internal test for sure or they're anticipating that he will. This cheater wouldn't give up a chance to make a few million fighting a tomato can or a 154 pounder if he could. Maybe there's a fucn heavyweight he can drag down to 168 and rehydration clause.

gotta love the fact that a lot of people hate canelo because he is the god of boxing and yet some salty people cant sttop talking about him...ggg is fighting nobodys and on top of that he is dragging them to 164

Yeah because people on VADA dont cheat. And remember when he wasnt? He had to be FORCED to enroll because they KNEW he was dirty.

Edit. Just found out he may not be enrolled after all anymore LMAO.

And he only fought 1 guy ranked in the top 10 at MW who isn’t even that good. I should hope he doesn’t lose rounds against way inferior opponents

How do you know Canelo was willing to fight Andrade? They knew DAZN hadn't approved him, which made making him a fake offer a risk-free proposition because they knew it couldn't actually happen. That allowed them to get credit for making the offer, and make DAZN look like the bad guy. Had DAZN approved Andrade, they may not have made an offer then. You know how GBP do things. We just can't keep falling for it or assume things.

And why not Andrade? Almost lost to Culcauy and Vanes, has zero quality wins at 160 or even 154. Sulecki made his bones getting dropped and losing to an unmotivated Daniel Jacobs struggling to make 160 after hitting his 30s, then has looked like **** in every fight since then, and never looked that good before then either. That's not a good win. Sulecki also has like a negative KO ratio. No power, lack of elite speed and athleticism, good not great skills. A B-level boxer at best.

Ever since Canelo ducked prime GGG who would have been a 5-1 favorite against him or something along those lines, I want to see him face guys who also would be a favorite vs him, who would have a good chance to beat him. Unproven guys with major weaknesses like Andrade or Callum Smith are not interesting to me at all. Even old GGG is not that interesting at this point. Canelo basically screwed his career and the entire weight range he fights at when he dropped the WBC vs GGG. Only fights I really care about now for Canelo are Bivol, Gvozdyk, and maybe Kovalev although he's old now too and his performances are hit or miss. At least with him there's a 50/50 chance of a really formidable dangerous opponent showing up in the ring with Canelo. With Andrade and Smith, I think the chances are very small. Andrade is physically weak for 160 and has zero power. Smith is slow, flat footed, unskilled, and his power is severely overrated. Couldn't even knock OUT a chinny middleweight N'Dam coming up from 160 despite hitting him on the button many times, couldn't even knock out a kickboxer Holzen. Only reason people think he's elite is because he beat Groves who turned out to still be injured. Groves almost got stopped by Chudinov anyway, barely beat a middleweight Eubank Jr. Wouldn't Canelo beat Eubank Jr pretty wide? Froch hurt and got a controversial stoppage, then KTFO'd, a much better version of Groves years earlier anyway, and Froch himself was a very limited fighter whose skills did not compare to prime GGG at all. And his power was good not great, as Jean Pascal and Ward both proved. Yet Groves made him look like George Foreman power. So the fact Smith stopped an older injured version of Groves proves... what? Exactly, very little.

Canelo vs Bivol and Gvozdyk (before he ages anymore) are what I'm interested in, with Kovalev as a fallback. Oscar says Canelo walks around 185-190 pounds, so let's see what he can do at 175 where there are still two prime top fighters after what he did at 160, avoiding the one top prime fighter there in this era of weak middleweights.

Get your lying ass novel out of here.

Not sure how far the discussions went but obviously Andrade was a viable option. I think Skipper and DAZN roadblocked the fight. I'm glad that Canelo was interested in a Andrade fight. Shows he is willing to fight a tough dude! Boo Boo is boring but tricky!

That's a false narrative.

[j.razor]

Can it be any clearer: Canelo does not want to fight GGG? Big "FU" to GGG, fans who wanted a third fight and DAZN. Is he planning to fight Kovalev in December? And then will gracefully descend to fighting GGG in May when GGG is 38? It is a shame that Canelo is building his resume off the weak or past their prime. For somebody of that level of skill and talent, he is surprisingly cowardice.

The coward here is Pvssy-g. Nelo is proven already.
