    He fought only once since last November. Is there any news on his next opponent? If not, who should he target?

    He's not even in the WBO and WBA rankings. I think he should go for the WBO (Stieglitz).

    He was supposed to fight on the Hopkins-Pascal undercard, but it got bumped once the show was moved from PPV to regular showtime. I have no idea what he's up to next, but there should be a lot of good fights out there he could make. If Johnson loses in the next round, I'd love to see Andrade-Johnson.

    Should fight Stieglitz or move up to light heavyweight and fight a paper champ their. He's a tough fight for anybody.

    Stieglitz won't fight Andrade unless he comes his mandatory. He has to climb the rankings.

    For sure. Andrade already kicked his ass once before.

    it's a shame that Andrade beat the crap out of Stieglitz and that Stieglitz keep being fighting some no-names to keep being on "top". Stieglitz just beated Andrade's brother, Enrique Ornelas, not that long ago. If there would be a bit of justice, Andrade would get another fight against Stieglitz and this time, it would be a title shot that he would win.

    Stieglitz wont fight anybody. I want Bute to fight him and unify the belts before fighting the S6 winner to completely unify the SMW division.

    I'd like that too.

    Not much hope though.

    Andrade vs Cloud would be a good HBO fight. But I'd expect Tavoris to beat him up pretty bad.

    He won`t fight Andrade. What makes you think he will take on Bute ?

    Ideally, yeah, a rematch with Stieglitz.

    If that cannot happen, a fight against Dirrell.

    If not that, a war against Bika or Johnson.

    Yeah, Stieglitz... *sigh*
    Last guy he fought, was ranked #46 or something by BoxRec, and Stieglitz had a really hard time with him. Look for his next opponent somewhere between #30 and #60 on that list. I'm guessing Stanyslav Kashtanov, since he's ranked #53, and currently (and inexplicably) rated as #9 by the WBO.
