My guess is Anthony Dirrell but Truax , Ronald Ellis, Kyrone Davis, Alexis Angulo or even the loser of Plant-Benavidez fight may be viable options for Andrade

Anything less than the Plant/Benavidez fight, or Charlo will be a major disappointment. But hey, we're getting used to that with Andrade.

Gawd Dirrell was done years ago.
Honestly, I've given up on him. It's all hot air and posturing on social media, and I have had a guts full of that nonsense.

I really doubt that Plant-Bena winner or Charlo would want to fight Andrade. Maybe the loser of Plant-Bena fight would be matched vs Andrade.

Bena-Plant winner is gonna want to fight Canelo or at least Mall Charlo. Payday baby!

Yeah, but he's the PBC's "plan B,C&D" at 168. I could see a fight between Andrade and Dirrell. José Uzcátegui is another one too.

Uzcategui is a good shout, that sounds realistic. Possibly Plant-Benavidez loser if that fight is competitive but not enough for a rematch. Maybe Bazinyan in a WBO eliminator (2 and 3 atm) if Plant beats Benavidez and becomes WBC mando?

uzcategui just got beat pretty handily by shishkin, needs to do better than that

That completely slipped my mind. Probably not him then. Isn't Jesse Hart still kicking around? He's ranked top 5/6 by a governing body I'm pretty sure.

ya hart would be a solid opponent if he can still make 168

At best it would be Plant-Bena loser. Dirrell, Shishkin and Uzcategui are up there too. Charlo and Bena-Plant winner are looking forward for bigger paydays. Andrade doesn't bring nothing to the table for them.

It would be a step up in competition for Andrade to fight these PBC guys after he fought on DAZN opponents like Keeler, Liam W. and Quigley.

It's been ages since Hart was a SMW. I dare say there is very little there to trouble Andrade. It would be another snoozer.

well i get what youre saying, but he just fought a guy hart bounced off the canvas and stopped, it would still be quite the step up for poo poo

Guess so.
I just checked, Hart last made the weight 2018. Probably a big ask.
He peaked losing to Zurdo the first time
I went and made a snack two rounds into Andrade's fight yesterday, so I'm no expert.
But I did make some really nice grilled cheese, onion and tomato sandwiches, which by all accounts was better than watching the whole fight

David Morrell would be a good choice for PBC to be next for Andrade

Indeed, its a good one.

I like that fight for the PBC. Would boost Morrell's profile.

Agreed. Morrell is damn good.

Isn't Morrell the mandatory challenger for Canelo's WBA title like Lara is for GGG? I mean Morrell most probably would want to fight for the big WBA 168 title?

Atm Morrell is 24 y/o, so in the good ol' fashion of nowadays modern boxing, most probably he'd like to stay away from the high risk-low reward fights and chase only the big money fights.
