But, the reporter was quick to state that Jermall Charlo undeniably takes the first place in the list. Notably, Andrade had a longstanding beef with Charlo.

Andrade responded, by saying, “I mean I had a hitlist, you know. But, you know, time, GGG that just ran out of time. You know what I’m saying. It’s like you know I can mention guys. But their timeline’s over now.”

Demetrius Andrade believes the Canelo Alvarez fight might not be interesting

Pound-for-pound superstar Canelo Alvarez is one of the best fighters in four divisions, including the super-middleweight division. However, Demetrius Andrade believes that Alvarez might not be the perfect opponent for him.

Talking about potentially fighting Alvarez, he said, “Of course, Canelo, but you see where that goes, nowhere. He ain’t trying to get in there with the real dogs. Or someone that knows to really fight. And can punch too as well, that’s smart.”
