Having a belt doesn’t mean you deserve a big fight.

Dude Pendleton was put in tough early. hardly had any amateur experience yet learned and madehimself a world champion. e earned his way up. Unlike that punk Haney who has beaten no one and fought no one.

Do you really need to call Haney a punk? Dude is a complete class act and 22. I don't get this type of animosity.

Just cause you won a vacant title against Walter Katundowka or got a WBC title via email, that doesn’t automatically qualify you for a massive fight.

It likely takes no effort to fool boxing fans. Easily the lowest IQ of any sports fan, the boxing fan.

Pendleton was a Salido type fighter. Far better than the record suggests. He was a future world champ who was competitive with Pernell Whitaker.

Profile isn’t really relevant in this case. Fighting Derv or Eubank would raise Andrade’s credibility. Even Liam Williams would be a step up. I understand what you’re saying that boxing is a business and that but at some point you have to bet on yourself. Let’s say Andrade takes less money to fight Derv and absolutely schools him, we’d all be screaming to see him get Canelo or GGG.

I see what you're saying, but people aren't really clamoring for Charlo to fight GGG. I've also heard people say that he still needs to "deserve" a fight against Canelo, whatever the **** that means.

I believe champions should fight champions. Andrade's doing the right thing by going after Saunders. The shame should fall on the champs who refuse to fight him.

So true man...

There honestly very few true boxing fans tbh.

Many watch, few understand.

Yeah he seems a decent kid tbf. I’m certainly not criticising him from a personal level.

[whollisboxing]

100 percent mate. He hasn’t beaten anyone in the top 10.

Go fight Derv, Eubank, Murata, Munguia etc

You can’t be fighting Luke Keeler and claim you’re the one being avoided.

Munguia would be the most realistic option out of those guys because he is the WBO's #1 contender at 160, plus both guys are on DAZN.

The question is whether Munguia and his team would be willing to take the fight.

One option you didn't mention is Liam Williams. He's the #2 contender and he's already on record stating that he would fight Andrade. It wouldn't be as big as a Billy Joe Saunders or Munguia fight but it would certainly be better than the Luke Keeler's of the world.
