Would Demetrius Andrade Have Put Up A Better Fight Than Callum Smith vs Canelo?

[RightJabLikeZab]

Yes. Because he's a much better fighter.

[Ricardi]

Yes not only do I think Andrade is a better fighter but he has a better style against Canelo. I'd still expect Canelo to win a competitive clear decision

At 154 Canelo says, he doesn't fight for belts, fights for pride when Andrade had the WBO belt. As soon as Andrade is stripped, he fights Lame Smith

AT 160 Canelo has 3 belts and Andrade has the WBO on DAZN (same platform, so no side of the street bull*****). Canelo comes up with lame excuse that Oscar caused him to get stripped but the bodies don't strip cash cows. Ask FMW, Manny and AJ.

At 168, Canelo wants to be undisputed. Andrade is moving to 168. Saunders has to automatically fight Andrade, a WBO champ moving up. See Crawford vs Horn. Saunders ducked the fight with nasal spray at 160. Now, Hearn is looking for loopholes to keep that belt out of Andrade's hands and make Canelo vs Saunders.

No Canelo is not ducking a guy who is stylistically like Lara and FMW Jr, but is bigger, more rangy and makes his punches stick and is a nightmare for flat-footed fighters.

Now, can Canelo beat him? Canelo just has the finish that fight and the cards will be rigged like the Lara fight. All stats had Lara winning 7-3-2 rounds but Levi Martinez scores it 117-111 for Canelo.

Yes, he beats Andrade in the fanboy's mind actually after getting pieced up in the actual fight.

What exactly are you saying? I like boo boo but he hasn’t beat anyone of note in his entire career, what makes you think he is even competitive with Canelo talk less of beating him. Canelo has improved since the Lara fight. I’m not even a Canelo fan like that but you got to give them an his dues at some stage in your life

[Lonelystoner]

Even amir Khan did better than Smith. Of course andrade would

[joseph5620]

Obviously he would. That's why Canelo won't fight him or any other fighter that can show him different angles and box him.

[RomanReigns2]

Canelo stops him ala Amir Khan

[Eff Pandas]

I mean Callum lost 5-31 in scored rounds iirc so its kinda hard not to favor Andrade to do better when if he lost 118-110 on all 3 cards he'd have done better.

That said I suspects Andrade gets KO'd or runs all night so ultimately I don't think he would do better in how things would look.

[Lance98]

Andrade is very skilled. His movement and angles could give canelo problems. He has a good active guard to keep canelo guessing. Most importantly, he fights to win, is confident and will not lay down. Callum smith fought scared and hesitant. At that level, you can't fight the way callum did, which shows his level. I don't think andrade has that problem. Of all active opponents, andrade might be canelo's toughest test.

[ReggieKray]

I hope this fight happens and Canelo distroys Andrade. Maybe this will finally be the last BS excuse Canelo haters have to discredit him.

There are a lot of couch fans on here typing away, but Andadre, like every other boxer, respects and knows how superior Canelo is. Of course Andrade wants this fight, but he knows his odds of winning are slim to none. Only the LHWs and Benavidez probably think they have the power to suppress Canelo and and chin to possibly win.

[FinitoxDinamita]

This fight would be boring as hell cuz Andrade isnt on the level and he is a runner. He will be on his bike looking to counter or potshot but whatever happens, Andrade isnt a good opponent at all.

Canelo-Saunders is the better matchup
