if these two had fought in 18 like they should have who do you think would have won? Chess match but Saunders for me.
I think the first 5 rounds of this hypothetical fight could be prescribed as a tranquilizer. Billy Joe has experience in awkward fights against rangy technical southpaws, he's definitely the stronger man, looks faster on his feet imo. I literally can't see any way Andrade could win this one, he would take rounds and it would be competitive 10/10 times, but he hasnt got what's needed to exploit Billy Joe's weaknesses.
Andrade's skills have regressed a bit since moving up to 160 IMO. I thought he looked great in his Brit Level test against Brian Rose (albeit only Domestic Brit Level not World Brit Level) and some of his other fights down there but now he's horrible to watch. And BJS 2.0 doesn't belong at 168 albeit he's obviously one of the greatest practitioners of Slick Gypsy Style the world has ever seen and I feel if both were both at the top of their game it would probably be the slickest showdown in history.
