I respect all who are prize fighters, it's the toughest sport in the world.
But, when one is a world champion or at a high level, of course we as fans critique. Charlo shouldn't say, let's see how Andrade does against Montiel.
No, he should say he wants to get the Wbo belt and beat Andrade. I do get that it might be a bit of an ugly fight stylistically; and Demetrius isn't a smooth Whitaker or Leonard type boxer, or even Mayweather, who wasn't exactly a mass crowd pleaser.
However, even if an opponent isn't the biggest attraction box office wise, the fact that he's an unbeaten champion should make you want to go and fight him and win.
I'm sure many wanted to avoid Whitaker, and the likes of Lara when he was in his prime, but they fought them.
Mayweather wasn't exactly someone they were keen on fighting, but he did provide good numbers at the pay-per views, so they fought him.
A true champion fights all, and credit to Canelo, he took on Lara when Erislandy was more avoided. He took on the stylistically tough opponents, such as Floyd of course.
I do understand it's also a business, they want to make the most money, get out with their health intact and enjoy life away from boxing.
But fight the best and then at least look back on a solid career.
I believe Andrade can beat Charlo. Styles make fights and it's worth seeing IMO. I'm not sure why Charlo would wanna see Andrade beat another low level guy to prove he is worthy of unifying though. That wasnt supposed to be a 12 round fight. According to everyone that spoke on it including myself it should have been a highlight reel knockout win for Charlo. Either we all underestimated Montiel or Charlo isnt as good as thought.....
