Comments Thread For: Algieri: Munguia's Whole Career Was Made for This Moment

[Boricua181]

Not going to trash Munguia for landing Canelo, it's not his fault Canelo decided to chicken out. I'm not going to say Munguia doesn't deserve it, he's beat some better competition than some of the other SMW, I just think Benavides deserves it more than anyone, if Canelo would of fought Munguia after Benavides, I would of been perfectly fine with that.

Absolutely correct on all of the points you made. Canelo has screwed himself big time by avoiding Benavidez for three long years.
I mean what an arrogant jerk, with his excuses I represent Mexico, I don't care, and I do what I want! What in the hell are you talking about?
You don't run boxing, your a fighter subject to all of the boxing organizations who's titles you hold, their rules, and regulations, to you just like they do to everyone else!
You can say all of that ****, but along with all of that **** comes a lot of consequence's, such as the boxing public turning on you, labeling you a duck, and a coward!
You've done this to yourself, with your shameless insistent, and consistent ducking of David Benavidez, whom you apparently fear!
Your disgraceful statement's, and actions on this matter are going to haunt you for the rest of your career/life!
This fool thinks his **** doesn't stink, but it does he's become such a loser in thought, talk, and walk.
He talks the talk, I'm the best in boxing, but doesn't walk the walk, (fight the best in boxing)!

not gonna happen. canelo has had plenty of time to fight benavidez. he has no interest. every ranking body/media outlet should strip canelo from the rankings.

Exactly! Strip this arrogant coward of all the title's he's holding hostage! He doesn't deserve to be champion, and that's been true for a few years now!

This would be a really big fight if Benavidez was GUARANTEED winner. Leaving the Benavidez fight out there leaves a sour taste in peoples mouths going into it, at least its how I feel.

It's much worse than that WarVeteran, it leaves a huge amount of boxing fan's disgusted, and pissed off with Canelo's arrogant, shameless, and cowardly action's!
Quit already Canelo, you don't have the heart for this sport anymore, David Benavidez has been the uncrowned champion of the 168 pound division for approximately three years now!
You've become a poster boy for how not to carry yourself as a champion in the sport of boxing!

This fight isn't interesting.

It's a sure fire action fight, but I mean, Munguia barely beat Derevyanchenko.

I believe that this fight is better on paper, than it's going to be in reality, because Munguia defensive skills are pitiful.
Canelo should knock him out within the first 6 rounds. Munguia does have youth, height, and reach on his side, but not even those advantages will be enough.
Although Canelo has gotten older, slower, bruises, and gets cut easier, he can still take a punch, and hurt any opponent who he connects on.
Canelo would would have to age even worse overnight, or sustain an injury in their fight for Munguia to even have a prayer of defeating Canelo.

My simple thoughts:

1. the „Problem“ might be the Management but of course not the Boxer (Canelo)
2. Munguia is taylormade for Canelo
3. Benavidez is really good but might get serious problems with Canelo as his Defense is not perfect

Doesn't matter how much Munguia has improved. He wont be much competition for Canelo. Say what you want about Canelo ducking Benavidez, which is true, but he is a great fighter and wont have much trouble with Munguia. They fed Munguia a lot of easy fighters and kept him safe for a huge payout. Canelo within 4 or 5 unless he carries him. Could be a fight like when Chavez carried Ramirez. Both good friends and what should of been a war ended up being a boring fight because Chavez didn't want to hurt his friend.

Munguía has turned down how many mandatory shots to this point? His career has indeed been carefully steered and designed to put together a "big Mexican clash" with Canelo. Could make a heck of a lot of pies with the cherries that went into making this matchup happen.

Doesn't he know this fight is scripted? Why else would Canducko fight him?

Camelot can lose this fight. Munguia can also lose. I have learned from being a boxing fan since childhood that any man can lose on any given night. I have seen Munguia fight and at times I think he can be a little reckless, especially when he throws punches in bunches and doesn’t pick his spots. But him being trained by Freddie Roach can help him in this fight he he sticks to his plan. Canelo doesn’t move like he used to. His defensive skills have slipped because of his move up to super middleweight. Canelo doesn’t have the same punch output that he used to. He has become an arm puncher in his last 4-5 fights. In order for Munguia to win, he must jab and be patient. If this fight turns into a shootout then Canelo wins.

Nobody looks good against Derevyanchenko. The guy is talented, tough as nails, and never quits.

Munguia’s biggest problem with Alvarez is that Alvarez has a chin as rugged as GGG’s. Some guys are just extremely difficult to knock out, and Alvarez is one of them. I don’t think Munguia is. Given Munguia’s style, I kinda expect a very active fight that should end when Munguia makes a mistake and Alvarez knocks him out.
