I don't recall him mentioning Jacobs name much before signing to fight him. Maybe I'm wrong but that deal got done without public callout from Canelo, same could happen here.
I rate Andrade, I wanted him vs GGG this year not this Steve Rolls guy. But I think lack of name recognition and the probability that he doesn't make for an exciting fight are the main reasons Canelo would overlook him rather than fear of defeat. Andrade has the only belt left at 160, and there are no compelling/huge fights at 168 for Canelo, so Andrade is a strong chance of getting the fight next May.
