    He schools the charlo brothers, clowns alvarez, too sharp for current ggg, has a close fight with jacobs but outsmarts him to a close decision, derevaychenko gives him a decent fight due to his volume punching. disagree?

    Completely, Canelo & GGG stop him, Saunders might stop him, Derevyanchenko runs him close, probably gets robbed. Charlo while not great against southpaws, probably KO's him as well. If Jacobs catches with a clean shot, he could get a stoppage as well, but the last threee are all close matches.

    na dereve and jacobs give him a harder fight then alvarez and charlos, perhaps even ggg. based on styles.

    He's the 6th best.
    Alvarez, GGG, Saunders, Derevyanchenko, Jacobs all beat him.

    He'd beat that overrrated hype job fraud Charlo and his sister though.

    I mean, we'll never know.

    For the love of God just fight a live body already.

    Fight the winner or loser of Clenelo v. Jacobs. Fight Saunders.

    I don't know that I've ever seen such ability just utterly wasted.

    Saunders chose drugs over Andrade so we may never know if he could beat him.

    Too bad Saunders doesn’t have the people behind him to bail him out of PED testing troubles like Clenelo has.

    I know it’s been so frustrating given his amateur status and reputation,he was gonna fight Saunders though so tells me he’d of fought the Charlos at the drop of a hat at 154.
    I was guilty of thinking Kell Brook was some ducker when he was champ at Welterweight and even after hearing Hearn say he couldn’t get him the big fights I still doubted it but then look what happened?the lad was so desperate he ended up fighting Golovkin and ruining his career,fought Spence immediately after to show he’d fight anyone.
    I actually like Andrade,seems like a good guy and now he’s with Hearn he should get the big fights before it’s too late,just don’t wanna see another desperado thing like Brook again is all.

    Someone said that boxing now I should all about who you know and not what you know.This was said in relation to how it doesn’t matter what happens in the ring anymore since folk will only remember the result and same re those drug charges and “punishment” you could say Canelos drug charges and bann has had no negative effects on his career at all,even fitted in with his operation and his usual time off before his stated dates when he fights lol.
    Saunders may struggle to get fights now as nobody gonna wanna face him for little money?

    I was gutted the Saunders v Andrade fight fell through. Both are supremely talented. It would have been a very good tactical fight.

    Hopefully, Hearn can get him some good fights and exposure. I think his style and lack of star power has severely hindered him. A bit like Rigo.
