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".

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!

Canelo will never fight Andrade. Bad style match up for him. He may take a Amir Khan rematch though, or Rocky Fielding.

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.
Hope Hearn would make that happen.

Andrade's style is similar to BJS style.

bandy has made it clear that andrade being a black slick southpaw somehow makes it different than other slick southpaws lol

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.

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″
