He showed he belonged by beating another unproven guy?
I was talking about the fight against Rosado. Rosado is a savvy veteran, who gave Jacobs all he could handle. Munguia has proven that he belongs, in a sense that he's earned the right to fight either GGG, Charlo, or Demetrius. Rosado hit him with everything, but the kitchen sink, and he showed a solid chin...and I know Rosado is not a knock out artist, but he landed some shots.

Rosado is a gate keeper and has never been above that level. His fight with Jacobs showed how much Danny has fallen off over the years. I wouldn't hang my hat on any of his last two fights and say it showed he "belonged." His team (not him) has turned down fights with Charlo and a mandatory shot with Andrade. They don't feel he belongs just yet. I say let the kid fight any and everybody. He won a title, take the training wheels off
Kinda amped to see someone get rid of Jacobs to be honest. Though I'm not very high on Mungia I must admit he's developing better than I expected. His new found jab and pressure should overwhelm Jacobs in the late rounds. Lets see if a Jacobs that actually wants to win shows up or a Jacobs that's satisfy in being an honorable gatekeeper.

You know what. On second thought I'm leaning towards agreeing with you.
The only reason they are taking this fight is because how bad Jacobs has looked as of late and because he still has some name recognition. Talk about a protected fighter.
