Andrade can retire undefeated at 40 and 0 IF....

... he plays his cards right, wait to fight GGG at the tail end of GGGs career, and dispatch the Charlo Bros before they get too much confidence in themselves.

Andrade can be the next 40 and 0 star to demand attention. He has it.... Skillwise he matches up against anyone. He wants the fights, he looks durable and in addition he wants LEGACY. You can't make a guy want LEGACY.

He's got his work cut out for him at 160. I'm not even sure he gets past Murata let alone guys like Jermall, Saunders, Jacobs or Derevyanchenko.

It seems to me hbo is just shipping Andrade in for the opponent role. It'll be very interesting to see how they match him next. I honestly struggle to see him beating Jermall Charlo or Jacobs let alone getting a fight with Golovkin. At 29 and averaging just 1 fight every 8-10 months since stepping up vs Vanes I'll eat my shoes if he ever gets near 40-0. Maybe Alantez Fox has 15 brothers .

Let's look at it: He is not shop worn, he can box, he doesn't have any bad habits, making weight does not seem to be an issue for him AND he can actually wears very, very well.

Didn’t he drop his first belt at 140 to not fight Charlo?

He turned down a career-high $550,000 purse offered to him to defend the belt against Jermell Charlo then was subsequently stripped of the WBO 154 pound title. Apparently Roc Nation executives promised to pay him $550,000 to refuse to participate in the Charlo bout, and Andrade rejected the Showtime deal.

Jumping weight for a short fix to get 'name' fights is a bad habit to me . The house is stacked at 154 and I think he had work to do and would have faired much better. He does have skills but the caliber of opponent and size, ideally, will only get deeper for him.

To be fair Lara seemed in no hurry to make that fight. Seems strange to me tho that now the path was clear that he chose to vacate and move up. Maybe he thought he'd miss out on the Lara fight due to unification's.
