    Either way you are way off thinking Andrade had a chance

    I'm not way off

    There's a reason Canelo didn't fight him when Andrade was champion at 154 and 160

    Yes because Plant, Fielding, Yildrim, and Berlanga really earned their shot vs Canelo

    I would have preferred boo boo over yildrim sure.
    However Plant had a strap which is what made Canelo undisputed.
    & bumlanga as much as I agree had accomplished nothing- he brought more to the table in fandom
    As PR shows up & show out for every Mexico vs Puerto Rico matchup.

    think about that Berlanga brought more to the table then Boo Boo with his hand out. o_O

    Would not be at all surprised if Andrade beat Canelo. Benavidez is more ballsy and throws a lot of punches, which is very good vs movers. Canelo had a good chance of getting clowned by Andrade. Single shot strategy against a mover is horrendously bad.

    Yes but maximise the profit

    Against a horrible fighter like Boo Boo your minimising it

    Canelo would have stopped him no issues

    Why yall acting like Andrade was not hittable during his prime? And when he got hit he didn't exactly show Oliver McCall levels of durability.

    Boo Boo is NOTHING like Crawford.... Not even close. This is a huge reach.

    Andrade is another in a long list of fighters, where the idea of them is better than the reality.

    Canelo knocks Andrade out cold. Andrade isn't better than Plant, let alone Lara and Saunders. Lara schooled Andrade back in the amateurs if you don't believe me, he's a demonstrably worse fighter in terms of accomplishments and ability. Hell, Andrade struggled more against Desmond Nicholson than Berlanga did after Berlanga had already sparked him. Andrade had multiple opportunities to fight Canelo and he whiffed on all of them. He could have easily fought Zach Parker in an eliminator and gotten his shot at Canelo that way. But instead he faked an injury and chose to keep fighting fringe contenders, struggling against them, and then proclaiming that he's the most avoided man in boxing despite never putting himself in a position to realistically fight the big names, routinely pricing himself out, and doing nothing to make himself a marketable name. The idea that a prime Canelo Alvarez would lose to Boo Boo Andrade is frankly absurd, as is the idea that Andrade is on the same level as Crawford.

    Context

    Fielding had something Canelo wanted
    Yildrim was a friend he willingly gave a pay day to

    Stop making pathetic excuses to justify canelo duck Andrade, it's embarrassing. Canelo clearly didn't think it would've been an easy knockout otherwise he would've fought him already
