We argue about this all the time, to reach that elusive superstardom realm in boxing you need need to have one of two things, powerful people representing you or a style that is fan friendly. You either marketable or stretching jokers out. Right now Andrade has neither. It doesn't matter that he is arguably the best boxer in the division. I would say he is slightly more offensive than Lara but clearly not as explosive as Charlo. He's never had to be. He's very good at boxing.

When Andrade decided not to fight Charlo apparently due to his potential relationship with Roc Nation it almost literally ruined his career. He has compromised relationships with Showtime and by extension Al Haymon. He has a 3 fight deal with HBO now that hopefully will allow him to get in the ring with Jacobs or GGG.

At 154, all he represents is risk to every top fighter in the division. He was the WBA World Champion but Lara was the WBA Super Champion. All of the champions at 154 are Al Haymon fighters except Andrade. His name is not mentioned at all on Showtime before or after fights. He literally had to go to 160 for a shot because Haymon controls 147 and 154. Not sure if he will have enough pop to keep the top guys off him at 160.
