Why 'Boo Boo' Andrade doesn't chase fights with Lara or Charlos ?
I mean this dude is wasting his prime by not challenging Lara or Charlos. He should go and ask for fights like Lara did to Canelo! FFS his next fight is against a fighter named Jack Culcay in Germany, a step down from Willie Nelson. Lara or Charlos, should be the only options for a fighter like Andrade.

He did call those guys out after his last fight. Lara and The Charlos are PBC fighters. PBC fighters avoid challenges as often as they can.

Andrade's desire to fight elite opposition is pretty much normal compared to other world class fighters in other divisions. It only looks really sub-par compared to the light middleweight division, where most everyone else is fighting tons of elite opponents.
Yeeeaaahh, Erislandy Lara has really avoided challenges throughout his career. *Shakes head* Lara has already fought 7 opponents who were world class at the time. In Andrade's entire career, he's only fought 1 opponent who was world class. Andrade's next opponent is Jack Culcay, which should tell you that Andrade isn't merely being ducked by 3 fighters, but is in fact not genuinely trying to fight anyone of substance. He's been fighting dudes like Dario Pucheta. It's always been Andrade who's not seriously trying to fight anyone good.gilgamesh wrote:He did call those guys out after his last fight.

I agree. Andrade isn't really looking for challenges. He was also offered to fight Korobov for the vacant WBO MW title, and he refused.

Maybe Andrade is waiting for a Cotto or Canelo offer which is a really waste of time.

Wasn't Andrade affiliated with Haymon nemesis Roc Nation for a while, which eliminated the possibility for him to face the likes of Lara and Charlo?
Aren’t Andrade's promoter, Banner Promotions, indirectly involved in GBP’s lawsuit against Haymon for “venue locking” allegations?
I could be wrong, as my knowledge of Banner Promotions and Star Boxing is a bit sketchy, but I suspect the reason why Andrade isn't being matched up with Haymon's fighters is due to political issues.

Ask George Groves what happens when they challenge themselves.gilgamesh wrote:He did call those guys out after his last fight. Lara and The Charlos are PBC fighters. PBC fighters avoid challenges as often as they can.

At least George Groves has challenged himself. I respect him more than most of the PBC roster.BAD INTENTIONS wrote:Ask George Groves what happens when they challenge themselves.gilgamesh wrote:He did call those guys out after his last fight.

George Groves, and the rest of the British boxers, have a unique situation.gilgamesh wrote:At least George Groves has challenged himself.

They have a public who is still interested in boxing, and especially interested in domestic fighters.
Groves could still sell out an arena against a good opponent.
Over here, it's really all BS. Let a guy lose a few competitive fights, he's basically shit.
Amir Khan can still sell out an arena against a decent opponent.

You mean anything he has done in the ring? Or anything he has pretended to want to do in the ring? Because I strongly suggest that it's better to judge a fighter by who he really fights than who he pretends like he wants to fight.Badhusker wrote:You obviously have not followed anything that Andrade has done or said lately.Lackeos wrote:Andrade's desire to fight elite opposition is pretty much normal compared to other world class fighters in other divisions.
