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

[Nomadic]

Compare Canelos resume over the last 10 years with Andrade's; 'nuff said.

I agree, his career has been a Has Not.

[Nomadic]

You want proof.

Yes, I believed that's what I asked for.

Just go look up the countless videos by guys like ellerbe, Floyd, Andrade, charlo etc that have said such. Yea you’ll find a few being honest like Tank who admit canelo is the best today but most don’t want to plain and simple.

That is not proof, that's a few names with their own opinion.

Let me ask you do you acknowledge that Canelo is p4p #1?

As you said in your previous comment;"There is no debating that Canelo is #1 P4P." Wrong, P4P is always up for debate. Anybody that knows boxing know that. I personally put Canelo in the top 3 with Crawford and Fury, after his destruction of Wilder. But that is all TOTALLY debatable.

This **** is hilarious

A guy with the weakest resume in the fight game is calling out a guy with one of the strongest resumes in the game for carefully picking opponents. ****ing hilarious.

Omg. Why does race have to come into play ?

It's a heavy supplement for a low boxing IQ.

Does he not see the irony in these comments?

Dude needs to change his name from "Boo-Boo" to "Boo-Hoo" because he's always whining about something.

Demetrius, I understand your frustration. But you sir signed with Edward Hearn, twice if I recall. Your career, which wasn’t stellar prior to that, had stagnated. You have no one else to blame but yourself for such nonsensical career choices.
Canelo taking on cream puffs is another matter altogether

Canelo went out of his way to call Andrade boring and saying who has he fought? Clearly he doesn’t want to fight Andrade because those two statements are hypocritical if you’ve seen the significant lack of action when Canelo faced Jacobs and Kovalev and consider facts such as who did Liam Smith ever beat, who did Rocky Fielding ever beat? Who did Yidilgrim ever beat? Were Chavez jr and Amir Khan worthy opponents? So I think it’s obvious, Canelo and his team didn’t like how Andrades style matches up with Canelos and decided it’s not worth the risk.

To be fair, Canelo beat Golovkin in a close rematch with a masterful strategy of backing up the aggressor.

On the other side of the debate, yes, Kovalev is faded and Smith wouldn't beat Benavidez or Plant probably.

I think a guy like Bivol would be the toughest challenge, he has more boxing skill than Charlo and Plant and has some power. Bivol could get down to super middle as well, although if that would weaken him badly I don't know.

We all know that Canelo performs the poorest against slick stylists....Trout, Lara, Mayweather....it’s no surprise that he doesn’t want to and probably never will fight Andrade.
And one thing I never get involved with is the “who has he fought” arguments that partisan “fans” get up to. That isn’t an effective barrier to someone getting a fight when the people who have gotten shots are themselves low level domestic type fighters. It’s strictly used by partisan “fans.”
Having watched this sport since the 70s, I have seen many a lowly regarded or inexperienced contender beat a higher regarded one or a champion based on style matchup, based on who was the more focused man that night, or simply who proved to be the superior fighter.
There was a man called Clay who fought a man called Liston and everyone expected Liston to wipe the floor with Clay.....Clay owned him twice. Had there been the internet back in the early 60s, surely there would have been casuals ranting about “who had Clay fought???”
