    Bro im not into being right or wrong or I win. I just want to see action. In all my years of watching boxing, a boxer can call anyone out but that doesn't mean anything. Actions speak louder than words.

    In his time as a pro, his only respectable opponent was a dude who has been the weakest link of champions(Saunders) at Middleweight and that still didnt happen.

    I careless about a call out and put more into what is really happening. And for Andrade he hasnt done anything.

      But Charlo? I get why Canelo aint fight him. But Charlo? Seems like Charlo wanted no parts of him for whatever reason.

      But i agree if u saying its plenty of other fights he can make instead of sitting onn his ass waiting for only 3 guys.

        So, spell check not including the ' as I correctly spelled "you're" shows a lack of intelligence?? Maybe in your simple mind. Now had I used the wrong version of your vs you're, maybe you'd have an point. Perhaps we should focus on you making 1 sentence into 2 seperate ones unnecessarily and your inability to use commas. Either way, a greater sign that someone lacks intelligence is an in ability to understand the context of a simple comment and not make random/inaccurate assumptions. Show me where he specifically said that Canelo facing ggg was not a worthy fight 2 yrs ago? You can't.

        In addition to lacking intelligence, it sounds as if you're also a shameless Canelo groupie who won't tolerate anything less than glowing praise of your messiah. We all know ggg wasn't the same fighter at 35/36 that he was a couple of yrs earlier. Still dangerous, but not in his prime.

        Let me simplify it so that maybe even a simpleton such as yourself may grasp it. While Lennox Lewis gets some credit for beating Mike Tyson in 2002 (because Tyson was still considered dangerous), we all know that Tyson was past his prime. So Lewis won't get full credit. But Danny Williams beating Tyson 2 yrs later in 2004 gets close to no credit because by that point, it was clear that Tyson was done. Similar to how mayweather gets credit for beating Mosley in 2010 even though he was past his best, but nobody cares that Canelo beat him 2 years later.
        I already admitted that my grammar is not good. I have no problem with that. I give Canelo credit where it is due. I personally do not think he is P4P #1 but he would be in the top 5. I enjoyed watching him fight when he was younger in his career and I dislike how his career has been managed post Floyd for the most part. I have no problem with people who believe he lost to Ggg in the first fight and I would not jump to argue against it. I am far from a Canelo Groupie. I watch the sport for the sport not for a particular boxer. I am not one of those guys who buys a jersey with another man's name on it and wears it proudly. I follow the sport and appreciate it. I only care about a fighters life outside of the ring when and if it affects their performance in the ring.

        One last time. Andrade admitting that Ggg was past his prime 2 years ago when Canelo fought him making it sound like it was not that big of a feat then turning around and saying it would have been a worthy fight if he had fought him 2 years ago.

        You are the one who sounds like a Andrade groupie. Face it, he is above the middle of the pack but nowhere near top tier. Why make the claim that Canelo fought an out of their prime Ggg only to go on to say he would have loved to fight the same Ggg knowing he was out of his prime?

          I agree. I was responding to the part that Canelo needs GGG, and not the other way around. $17 million/fight for GGG is nothing to sneeze at either. At some point DAZN will want both these dudes to fight marquee competition to justify those contracts. Especially GGG, who's already 2/6 done, and 38 years old.
          Can you imagine wasting $50,000,000 and all you got was Rolls, Sergiy, and Simon says??? That 50%???

          Sergey good but has never won a major belt. All three maybe should of cost 12 million total.

            Well Charlo's dont get a pass from me either. Their actions dont reflect their talk.

            Andrade and Jacobs was ready to step up to the plate and the Charlo's backed down.

            Middleweight has a lot of talent that seems to not want to fight each other, unless its vs Canelo who his the cash cow.

                The real boogeyman of boxing!

                He might have to go to 175 to get some smoke cuz the PBC divas don’t take risks and DAZN can’t make their own fighters fight each other!

                  Canelo needs him right now more that GGG needs Canelo. The Kovalev and Fielding fights never paid off, they lost money.

                  How many fighters are going to bring in better PPV numbers for Canelo right now? Hint: their names won't rhyme with Andrade or Charlo.
                  First of all, Canelo and GGG don't fight on ppv anyway, so what do ppv numbers have to do with anything?

                  Secondly, did you just say that Charlo avoided GGG? Lol, do you live in an alternate reality where we say the opposite of what actually happened?

Saunders got busted for nasal spray and Charlo doesn't want to migrate over to DAZN for millions. That sounds like avoided to me.
                    Everything you said is true. However don't forget that Andrade himself blatantly avoided Derevyanchenko early in his stay at 160.

                    People seem to forget the part where Derevyanchenko consistently called out Andrade for month and a half and even sent him a contract with no response only for Andrade to come back after Derevyanchenko gave up and singed for another fighter and claim he was visiting his grand parents.

                      Does 97k PPV still have fans? How can anyone support a sadist like GGG who picks bums off the street to brutalise in the ring? Luckily we have King Red to put him in his place every now and then to remind him who the top dawg is. Looking forward to seeing King Big Red Massive Cawk Red King Master Canelo lite that boy up lyke a Christmas tree on the 4th of june in the trilogy.
