    Why not Andrade-Charlo?

    Somehow these guys avoided each other at 154...why not fight now at 160...neither one has a fight lined up and the top 2 guys have something lined up or likely do.

    How none of the top guys at 154 fought a few years ago was sad...all of these guys now are scared to lose their 0 because they all want to be like Floyd...not realizing Floyd's blueprint was difficult to achieve and pull off, and none of them are close right now to doing that.

    So why is no one clamoring for Andrade-Charlo?

    Hey hey never fought because Andrade is a bonehead. They almost fought twice but Andrade did something dumb and it fell through.

      I'd rather see Canelo vs Charlo at MW, not this dumb Kov fight at LHW that makes no sense.

      Andrade can fight GGG-Drev winner.

        I never really followed all of that so I don't know what to believe

        I agree as far as Nelo having more pressing business at MW...I just think the insistence that Andrade and Charlo don't need to take any tough fights until G or Canelo is hypocritical when it comes from the same people who criticize G or Canelo.

        Neither one fought Lara at 154...Andrade never fought either Charlo...they should fight each other and why the fans aren't pushing for this somewhat is strange imo

              They didn't "avoid each other" it wasn't mutual. Andrade ducked both Charlos and Lara. I'm pretty sure he had a contract signed or was on the verge of signing one and pulled out. Stop acting like you really wanna see this fight

                I guess I just hate the tribalism aspect sometimes...some want to throw one and both of them at GGG or Canelo as a banana peel...but don't want the two of them to fight each other...when all 5 are top MWs it seems.

                I agree in a way that they have already earned a big fight...but the winner of Charlo-Andrade would have a lot of bargaining power...and it would then make it easier for someone to fight that guy.. it would then become a sort of legacy fight.

                As it is now if G or Nelo beats either one...some will just say that guy ****** and they should have fought the other one.

                  Three sides to a story...there is your side his side and then the truth...

                  Why wouldn't you want to see that fight? I would gladly pay $20 to see that fight and I don't think I'd pay more than $30 to watch any fight at all right now

                  Unless it was me vs abouttime...I would pay money for that

                    I agree. Take care of business in your own weight class first. Jermall has a hard punching attacking style. He is young and in his prime. He has never lost and never been knocked down. Kovalev is shot and ready to lose to a good fighter. GGG said if he wins he will go to Japan and fight Murata.
