Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Ryder Would Be Perfect for Munguia; Chance to Do Something Canelo Couldn't Do

This would be a decent scrap.

Good fight for both. I kind of hoped Jaime would stay at 160 because there’s an absolute dearth of marketable MWs at the minute but Ryder is a good fight next. Wouldn’t be opposed to him derailing Berlanga for good either.

Yeah they should take the Berlanga fight, even if it’s on a MR show, that’s easy work for Munguia.

[just the facts]

That's the thing people forget or might just not remember Munguia is an ex-champ he held the WBO super welter and defended that belt, but he has not challenged for any major title in probably 5 years and people forget he even became one. He is young, but needs to step it up.

You left out the part where the reason he hasn’t fought for a major title in 5 years is because he’s side stepped, dodged and duck every opportunity to do so.

I don’t know about all that. There’s a reason why Oscar has steered Mungia away from quality opposition. I think it’s the same reason why he kept Ryan Garcia away from tough opponents. Deep down, I think Oscar knows neither are top level fighters.

Canelo will never fight bumgia. There’s levels to this

Oscar, thou doth protest a bit much.

I tired hearing Oscar say that his guy is willing to fight anyone only to fight Joe blow. Isn't Munguia and and his management team tired of wasting your career? Time to put up or shut up....

De La Hoya actually said Jaime Munguia is on a fast track. Wait! Perhaps, he is right. He's on the fast track running away from every challenge that's been in front of. Munguia, like someone mentioned in another thread, will be 100-0 and not have even have challenged for a belt. What a joke!

I was thinking along those same lines: “We want to fast track him,” De La Hoya said of Munguia." How is putting a 42-fight boxer up for a title fight "fast tracking"?

[TheOneAboveAll]

“We want to fast track him,” De La Hoya said of Munguia. “We want him to fight for the world title already."

Fcking Hell. Munguia is like that kid with 2 Phds and 4 Master's degrees who just will not enter the workforce.

This is the actual truth. Despite his cocaine-addled brain, Oscar retains enough sense to understand what Munguia and Garcia's levels are. As frustrating as Golden Boy is as a promotional outfit they might actually know what they're doing - at least as far as the smart business side of things goes.
