Andrade vs Saunders would be a fight where not a lot will happen and very hard to score.

I have strong psychic belief that years of inactivity, dining out on a Lemieux win and waiting for the cash out fight vs GGG/Canelo will lead yo BJS getting stopped quickly vs Canelo and never boxing again

Andrade vs Saunders ...Andrade at any weight, bet the house on it. Andrade does everything Saunders can do but better.

When they were schedule to meet Saunders himself felt that he would need something more, something to gain an edge. When the fight didn't happen Saunders never again offered a re-do or accepted a fight with Andrade for a reason.

Andrade will continue to be avoided until he either slips, get hurt or move up to 175lbs.

The big misstep:
Andrade should have fought smaller cans moving up like Charlo and to some degree GGG, guys that Andreade could easily knock out and pad his resume with spectacular KOs.

Instead, Andrade fought bigger guys slick, technical and less fan friendly in a style that should have saved for real fights.

Example: GGG/Canelo, in that fight Golovkin was no longer looking for the KO and in Charlos case, he simple refuses to fight top tier fighters.

It's definitely his fault.

If he hadn't avoided Jermell Charlo two times and Erislandy Lara three times then he would at 154 then he wouldn't be having these problems. He would be a big star (provided he won those fights of course) and would generate more interest and revenue in his fights. Guys would be lining up to fight him because they know fighting and beating him means something.

Now he is just high risk low reward, low reward not only in monetary terms but also because beating him doesn't mean as much as it should.

If you fight him and beat him, people will day, "but who had Andrade fought anyway? He was unproven."


I'm not denying that he is being ducked now, because he is, however, he still isn't innocent even at 160lbs.

When Andrade moved up to 160, like right after two weeks after his first fight at 160, Derevyanchenko called him out and tried to get a fight with him, they even sent a contract.

Andrade went into witness protection , literally disappeared and didn't respond to any of Derevyanchenko's call outs and didn't send a counter offer or even acknowledge the contract that was sent to him.

Derevyanchenko even tried to wait until the last moment, and made a final call out saying that he would be forced to move on to another opponent if Andrade doesn't reply soon.

Did Andrade respond? Nope!

He waited for Andrade to get a new opponent, and then came out and said he was at he was visiting his grand parents, and the other excuse was that nine weeks was not enough to prepare.

A total lie of course.

Nine weeks was more than enough.

It isn't like he was out of the ring for a long time. He had just fought less than a three weeks earlier, and took absolutely no damage in that fight because he easily dominated.

He would have been more than ready.

This notorious ducker is just getting his karma now.

Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt. I was talking about how he was be avoided now a days. I do agree in the past he was making crazy decisions. I even meet him in person back in Connecticut. Years ago when GGG knocked Out macklin

He's the one who avoided everyone at 154.

Yes three years ago, not in 2019 & 2020 ppl have been avoiding him.

Even if he's being avoided now, I can't for the life of me understand why. It's not like he's some master boxer or vicious destroyer. What am I missing?

[Slyguy_420]

Andrade career mishandled so bad

its unfortunate . He's not getting any younger and he's wasting his career, and it's not his fault, aside from the fact that he needs better management.

He’s an above average slick boxer that is high risk low reward, with little drawing power and small fan base.

He checks all boxes on why he should be avoided.

Meh.. I don't seem him as that much of a risk. But it's hard to tell because he's never been truly tested. A fight with BJS would've told us a lot.

Speaking of avoiding tough fights, BJS is a joke. Ducks everyone and talks shit about them as if they're the ones ducking him.
