Please stop overhyping Demetrius Andrade

[TernceBudCharlo]

No matter what you think of Andrade can you at least admit these guys are scared that he could be a really tough fight? He's not gonna stand in front of you and be there to get hit like a lot of these guys, which automatically makes it tough. Plus add that his amateur pedigree, height, reach, which he can actually use unlike Callum smith, you know it's not an easy fight for anyone.

Not good at all. He'd go in there and get KO'ed in the 1st round versus all of them.

All of these fans and journalists need to go away with their criticism of fighters resumes honestly. Only speak positively of their resumes. If you think you can go through Andrade's resume undefeated, then turn pro, go undefeated, and then come back to boxingscene to give your opinions.

Honestly fans just need to go away altogether. They need to stop watching boxing if they have never laced em up.

Boxingscene.com should actually increase their sign up standards. Members need to verify that they have at least 10 amateur fights. Members with not amateur fights should be watched closely in case they criticize a boxer, they get perma banned.

Ams I'm 27-3. That was all I had in me, but I did it. Now I've got friends like Keith Thurman keeping the dream alive in the pros. Been there done that and its brutal on the mental and physical brother

sad............

Larry I hope you are referring to the post after mine

Yup. And then they say "he's a paper champion". Which fighters in the last 25 years got their title vs a top 10 fighter? Almost every good fighter starts their career off with a paper title.

Roy Jones Jr beat Bernard Hopkins for his first title, the 160 IBF title.

Mayweather beat the WBC/Lineal champion at 130 for his first belt, Genaro Hernandez.

Pacquiao beat WBC Flyweight champion Sasakul for his first title.

Andre Ward beat Super 6 favorite, Mikkel Kessler for his first belt, the 168 WBA title.

Sergey Kovalev beat Nathan Cleverly for the 175 WBO title.

That guy is trolling you. I'm not. My point is just what I said above, he's a really difficult fight for any top fighters in the game and they all know that. That's why they don't wanna fight him.

I know styles make fights and all, but how can you not watch Danny Jacobs fight against Sulecki, then watch Andrade's fight against Sulecki, and not realize they're at different levels? At the very least it's gonna make people scared to fight him cuz of how much easier he made it look.

Proud of you bro. You're one of the few posters who can have an opinion on here because you at least laced em up. I bet you can beat up kev easily too. It's funny because you also have all of these journalists and tv commentators who never fought, you should make a youtube channel and call them all out. Tell them their negative opinions on boxers resumes doesn't count. Only positive comments/opinions count as valid. You might make money and get offers if you become popular enough. Hell you might even get a trainer spot with all of your knowledge. I believe in you bro.

Andrade wiped the floor with Sulecki when everyone was ducking Sulecki. But they won't give him any credit for that. In time, everyone will see Andrade is the real deal.

I find it disgraceful and immoral that people have the audacity to criticize the resumes of people with less money and power in boxing, because the people with the money and power are afraid to fight them. Absotluely immoral.

Maybe you would have said he'd deserve the fight with Canelo if he'd went life and death with Sulecki? You know, the way Danny Jacobs did and got the Canelo fight as a result? Sorry that Andrade dropped him and absolutely toyed with him for 12 rounds.

And Vanes in his prime as a great fighter. He gave Lara and Mell all sorts of trouble but Demetrius looked the best by far out of all of Vanes opponents at that time.

The bottom line is this. Andrade's resume is what it is cuz he was shamelessly ducked by Canelo at 154 for many many years. And the other top guys at 54, Lara wanted no part of him, how many guys out there were begging to fight Lara except Andrade. Canelo chose to fight bums like Kirkland, Liam Smith, JCC JR instead of Andrade. And then he was shamelessly ducked by GGG when he went to 160. GGG could have fought a champion in Andrade but he chose to fight Steve Rolls and this Kamal guy instead Disgraceful.

If this fight is so easy for your favorite fighter (IDK if Canelo or GGG), you should insist that the fight happen. But we all know what time it is.

On the one hand, he was well on his way to making a name against Saunders and then Saunders spiked on the PED's test, no fault of Andrade....on the other hand he flat out ducked Charlo a few years back which could have launched his career if he had won. He's unbeaten and is a contender so hopefully he is a top fight away from getting to the very top elite of the division if he can win.
