    My question is this, how come Andrade gets a pass for pulling out of fights due to money but other fighters that have bigger fish to try have to be charitable to Andrade and give him a big money fight when they can earn more money fighting another fighter?

    He did it himself, he ducked out, backed out of fighting Charlo 1 month prior to the fight because he wanted to be greedy and listen to Roc Nation or whoever it was who told him he can make more money than that. But if Canelo, GGG, and even Charlo now have bigger fish to fry and he gets left out in the cold because the above mentioned fighters want to fight for more money than they can get from fighting Andrade, then they are the bad guys and Andrade is the poor little guy who boxing forgot about.

    Double standard.

      Andrade’s best win is still Vanes. That win was what? 8 years ago? I think that says it all about Andrade’s ambition.

          Alrighty KEV, that is true what you posted. But to be fair he is now willing to cut his purse to make some fights happen, which imo speaks volumes to him wanting to produce for the fans

              It’s going to be the year of Ukranians. Lomachenko will prevail.

                  Canelo is fighting Yildirim next, a guy who got his #1 ranking by the WBC by losing his last fight. Which is a big issue for boxing in general. That’s a big red flag and someone I wish Canelo would use his name/power to back out of and fight a top guy instead.

                  The difference between beating Szeremeta, Yildirim and Andrade is nothing. Non HOF’ers, non ATG’s, barren resumes. The best wins between them are Vanes, Glen Johnson, Periban, and Ouma. Really nothing there at all. Canelo and GGG are better off fighting guys they would get some credit for like eachother, Saundes, Plant, Charlo, Benavidez.
                  Except Andrade has done absolutely nothing recently. That's the difference.

                  All he literally has is hype. He has done nothing

                    Andrade is clearly better than callum smith. Smith is a basic fighter with a high guard with no head movement. Another glorified rocky fielding. What high level slick fighter does canelo have on his resume that wasnt a L or a robbery? In almost 50 fights?
                    Yea but what has he done any time recently? I'm sure he could beat a lot of common opponents. But has he..? No because he doesnt do anything. Like I said it's all theories and hype. Yea he could be as good as anyone in two divisions but has he done anything to prove it? No

                      A couple of reasons why Andrade can get away with it. One, know one cares about him so no one notices. Two, he is a nobody with little pull so no one notices.
