Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade Not Impressed: Canelo is Not Pound-For-Pound Best!

[Thuglife Nelo]

Andrade has never beaten a former or current champion, ever. 33 years old, and has ZERO champs on his resume.

And they claim Canelo is the one doing the ducking?

Those are LDBC kids. They didn’t even know how to fill in scantrons with random answers. They think Canelo would surrender his current status for a 160 WBO belt because Canelo sees Andrade’s resume as a deserved pay day? This is how LDBC kids justify Canelo ducking Charlo, Andrade, etc? They want their guys to get free money. Panhandling schemes. Part of rock selling and rap culture

The LDBC don’t even like Andrade. This is the LDBC atm collecting superchats while crying over the Wilder loss yet angry

Interesting coming from a guy who could essentially be considered a 32 year old prospect by the lack of names on his resume

Lol. Scared. Line em up! You guys must feel ****** that Andrade hasn’t even put himself into a position for Canelo. Andrade’s not even at 168. A bit comical.

I already defeated your argument in point 4 of my post, try harder.

Canelo is HNIC! That’s the only point YOU need to know.

There is a lot to unpack.

1st, Canelo would certainly be the betting favorite over Andrade and rightfully so. Also true is that Martirosyan in his prime vs Lara was a draw, he was no push over. It wasn't until Andrade beat Martirosyn that others realized he could be out boxed.

As for Lara, yes Lara once out pointed Andrade for 6 out of 9 minutes...once. Over 12 rounds today, Andrade would without question be the odds on favorite to beat Lara.

Although Martirosyn did knock Andrade down, Andrade was winning and for that reason I think Maciej Sulęcki is a better win. Sulęcki is a much better inside counter puncher than Martirosyn and he went into survival mode after about the 7th.

That said, If Canelo gets inside and is allowed to work it's over, Andrade and Charlo included. The problem is getting inside, it's not without cost. Andrade fights long range and Charlo isn't someone you want to stand too close to for very long. Both present stylistic problems and that's why neither are on Canelo's short list.

Sorry I've had a ton of work and haven't been able to reply in due time but let's make this interesting.

Let's make a bet.

I bet my points Alvarez is fighting Charlo on 2022. That's only and only if neither him nor Charlo lose a fight this year.

I'm positive that Alvarez fights him on 0022, the demand will be there.

Similarly slick but Andrade has more dimensions than Plant.


Demetrius wraps up well but also fights better inside, he hits harder and waking him down has never worked. A lot is missed because every opponent seems to go into survival mode after the 5th.

I agree - Andrade is the better fighter, just, but he started at 154 - he gives natural strength away at 168.
Also Culcay gave Andrade a tough fight so not exactly as you say
