This thread is to compare his mutual opponents/performance against them with other top 154lbers & 160lbers. The following names are either a champ, ex champ, or became very close to being a champ:
Erislandy Lara
Jermell Charlo
GGG
Tony Harrison
Sergiy Derevyanchenko
Billy Joe Saunders
Daniel Jacobs
2012 Erislandy Lara vs Vanes Martirosyan I, TD (No real recollection but I hear most thought Lara was winning pretty clearly until the fight was stopped)
2013 Demetrius Andrade vs Vanes Martirosyan, DA SD 12 (We all know it shoulda been a UD)
2015 Jermell Charlo vs Vanes Martirosyan, UD10 (Vanes lost a close fight to Charlo that he personally &, I've heard others maintain that he's won till this day. I personally thought Charlo won 6-4.)
2016 Erislandy Lara vs Vanes Martirosyan II, EA UD12 (Clear Lara win)
2018 Gennady Golovkin vs Vanes Martirosyan, GGG KO2 (Easy night, all things considered)
2015 Tony Harrison vs Willie Nelson, WN KO9 (Harrison faded & got KO'D)
2016 Demetrius Andrade vs Willie Nelson, DA TKO12 (Dominant performance)
2016 Billy Joe Saunders vs Artur Akavov, BJS UD12 (people say it was BJS toughest fight to date/poor performance by him)
2019 Demetrius Andrade vs Artur Akavov, DA TKO12 (No argument you can make in comparison to BJS performance in terms of Akavov beating Andrade)
2017 Demetrius Andrade vs Jack Culcay, DA SD12 (Andrade's worst notable career performance. Still another terrible result of judging as he won clearly but didn't look himself)
2019 Sergiy Derevyanchenko vs Jack Culcay, SD MD10 (the fight was the definition of "life & death" & could've probably went the other way or a draw)
Random fact: Culcay beat Hogan (who a lot of people believe beat Munguia) who is fighting Jermall Charlo next
2018 Daniel Jacobs vs Maciej Sulecki (The decision looked like it was going to be very questionable until Jacobs knocked him down. That sealed his win.)
2019 Demetrius Andrade vs Maciej Sulecki, DA UD12 (Andrade made Sulecki look like he didn’t belong in the ring with him. Night & day performance in comparison to Jacobs.)
So what can be gathered from this comparison is that of all the top names, GGG is the only one who had a better performance amongst common opponents than Andrade. When GGG fought Vanes, Vanes was essentially retired before that fight & hasn't fought since. He moved up to a weight class he never fought in, to fight arguably the best middleweight at that time & took the fight on short notice.
The only other name you can say had a better performance would be Lara & that was his 2nd time facing Vanes. The purpose of this thread was just to provide context & can be looked at as a guage point.
