    I think he'd deserve props for beating Andrade more based on Andrade bringing **** all to the table.
    No fans, no resume, ugly negative style.

    Its more a fight I feel I'd be giving him props for because its one he doesn't have to take at all not because Andrade is so great or anything. Like God knows how good that guy even is. Says a lot to me when Liam Williams is deemed as a healthy step up

      Spence is too small.

      Andrade who? He's a nobody. That would be a cherrypick for Canelo. He brings nothing new to the table. 160 title that he earned vs no one. No names on his resume. Canelo beating him will just have fans saying the obvious, that he lost the first time he stepped up to an elite and he was overhyped. They will destroy his resume, dissect it for the garbage it has in it. Rightfully so. But I just wish fans were less hindsight biased and call things like it is before they happen. Andrade is trash, got knocked down in his only semi-high profile fight in 2013, barely won. That was a long time ago. Hasn't fought anyone worth sh.t since then. Pulled out of Charlo fight in 2014.

      I'd replace Spence and Andrade for Bivol and Beterbiev.

      Good, solid post.

        The way Alvarez has moved up in weight has been impressive, but I think if he had taken on the best at 160 and dominated that division, maybe that would have been even more impressive.
        The top guys at 160 include Golovkin, Andrade and Charlo. Also you've got young guys like Mungia and maybe Spence. To me dominating a division just looks better than moving up and picking and choosing the right guy.

          He was about to fight Bivol and some were already looking for a way to downplay that.
