Exactly! Though it's important to note that a potential fight against Jermall is not one of Andrade's current options either. It simply isn't going to happen - at least not in the short-term.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑02 Feb 2020, 22:02Andrade has made plenty of weird decisions, turned down opponents that would be among his best, is awful to watch etc. He deserves little sympathy or excuses. I agree with your points and the argument ppl are making about a Charlo fight being worth more now is irrelevant really because he's not going to fight Jermell.
Andrade's history is well known. He turned down a fight with Jermell about money and communications. He has had poor management, made bad decisions, was stripped of his belt. That was all 5-6 years ago.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 04:41Exactly! Though it's important to note that a potential fight against Jermall is not one of Andrade's current options either.

lol oh wow he called out some guys, he also formally petitioned the WBO to get a fight with someone, only for him to then reject that same fight when it was ordered. so you're dealin with a very strange guy who will call people out and make noise about fighting them, only to reject it when its there for him. maybe the fight wouldve taken too much time out of his hair styling routineBandog wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 06:48Andrade's history is well known.

Over the last year or so he has called out Lara, BJS, GGG, Canelo, and Charlo. Now, since Charlo claims he is his own manager, Hearn told him it can be on Fox, an offer of $7 million, what's the problem? He is a slick southpaw no one wants to fight. If he is no good use him for a tune up. GGG fought an inactive Vanes, Rolls, etc. Canelo fought Khan, Kirkland, etc. According to Hearn, it has to be Munguia, GGG, Canelo, or GGG next.
I hope he finally gets a meaningful fight to see how good he is. Instead we will probably just hear the tired rhetoric of he hasn't fought anyone, boring style, and dodged this guy or that guy 6 yrs ago. All he can do is keep winning.
Just curious, but did you actually read the entire thread before this post?Enlightened-One wrote: ↑15 Feb 2020, 21:07 It seems that people need a history lesson about Demetrius Andrade’s career, since they’re defending his decisions without understanding his reasoning and without appreciating his track-record, so here goes:
* There was a point in time, fairly recently, when he openly admitted to not being ready to face Billy Joe Saunders, even though the Brit had previously said he was willing to fight him (and even Andrade acknowledged this)
• He’s been very inactive throughout his career
• Allowed his WBO 154lbs title to be stripped due to inactivity (without providing any reason for his inability to fight)
• Vacated his 154lbs WBA belt without making a meaningful defence
• Rejected fights against Matt Korobov, Erislandy Lara and one of the Charlo brothers, despite one or two of them accompanied with career-high payday offers
• Turned down a three-fight deal with Showtime
• There is no big payday opportunity currently on the horizon for him to consider. All of his big-name rivals have far bigger fish to fry
Demetrius Andrade has made several monumentally stupid career-related decisions and no one can possibly pretend otherwise!
If anyone has the sheer audacity to claim I’m wrong, then challenge me and provide proof that disproves any of my claims!
People might accuse me of being a “hater”, but they won’t be able to pretend that my words aren’t truthful.
Yes. Of course some people mirrored my thoughts, whilst others chose to express facually-inaccurate opinions.oogiebe wrote: ↑15 Feb 2020, 21:30Just curious, but did you actually read the entire thread before this post?Enlightened-One wrote: ↑15 Feb 2020, 21:07 It seems that people need a history lesson about Demetrius Andrade’s career, since they’re defending his decisions without understanding his reasoning and without appreciating his track-record, so here goes:

Billy Joe Saunders has received an offer to face Canelo. Demetrius Andrade hasn't.apollo creed wrote: ↑16 Feb 2020, 11:29 Let's be clear, Andrade and BJS need to fight each other as both are wasting their primes chasing rabbits.
