Benavidez vs Andrade @ 168 lbs TBA - I'd be amped to see this fight!
Yup this fight would be good imo! Both guys are avoided and they don't have a meaningful fight. Andrade could move up at 168, have a 1-2 easy fights, then call out Benavidez! Throw in there a title and you have a good fight! Benavidez would not avoid that!

Skip tune-ups. Winner gets Canelo? No, he'll move up instead. Love this fight. Fighting slick southpaws are too "boring".apollo creed wrote: ↑13 Jul 2021, 06:49 Yup this fight would be good imo!

I know that Andrade is a big dude but it'd be more fair for him to have 1-2 tune ups at 168 and then fight Benavidez. The winner of this fight would be a more worthy opponent in terms of quality for Canelo than Charlo, Plant or BJS is/were!Bandog wrote: ↑13 Jul 2021, 06:55Skip tune-ups. Winner gets Canelo?

Canelo will never fight Andrade. Bad style match up for him. He may take a Amir Khan rematch though, or Rocky Fielding.apollo creed wrote: ↑13 Jul 2021, 08:00I know that Andrade is a big dude but it'd be more fair for him to have 1-2 tune ups at 168 and then fight Benavidez.

A fight between two underachievers that have both made poor career decisions would be good to see.

I don't care about that but I'd like to see Benavidez vs Andrade fight in 2021@ 168lbs! Andrade is 33 and he has no meaningful fight on his resume.Bandog wrote: ↑13 Jul 2021, 08:30Canelo will never fight Andrade. Bad style match up for him.

Hope Hearn would make that happen.

Andrade's style is similar to BJS style.Bandog wrote: ↑13 Jul 2021, 08:30Canelo will never fight Andrade. Bad style match up for him.

bandy has made it clear that andrade being a black slick southpaw somehow makes it different than other slick southpaws lollazboy wrote: ↑13 Jul 2021, 22:58Andrade's style is similar to BJS style.Bandog wrote: ↑13 Jul 2021, 08:30Canelo will never fight Andrade.

Yup, I'd be amped to see two guys that apparently no one wants to fight them, fighting each other.
Even Canelo fought Lara and Trout , GGG fought Lemieux and Jacobs, so Andrade should take a risk and challenge Benavidez @ 168.

Actually, Benavidez sounds as a good tool to make an Andrade fight watchable. Benavidez is a very tough and aggressive fighter, while Andrade's slickness will likely be exposed in a truly challenging bout.

Re: Benavidez vs Andrade @ 168 lbs TBA - I'd be amped to see this fight!
Benavidez would gladly accept this opportunity if it comes but it has to be at 168 or at a catch weight. Benavidez is draining even at 168 lbs. Also I think Andrade is draining too for 160.
Andrade is slick but not as Lara or FMJ.
Benavidez's height is 6′ 0½″ and his reach is 74½″
Andrade's height is 6′ 0″ and his reach is 73½″
