Comments Thread For: Canelo: I'd Fight Jaime Munguia - But I Would Not Like It

[Lion81]

I don't know.....I've never heard an American fighter say he wouldn't want to fight another American fighter. I never heard a black fighter say he wouldn't fight another black fighter. Morales and Barrera hated each other, regardless of their shared Mexican heritage. What is this krap Canelo is saying? It's ridiculous. Some of the best fights ever were Mexican vs. Mexican.

We have a strong desire to see ourselves do well against others that don't represent the Mexican nation.

We have a strong nationalistic identity. We don't care what skin color you are. You can look like Canelo, or Munguia or even be foreign born but have love for the flag and we'll consider you one of our own.

But as Canelo implies, he would rather work to destroy a foreigner, than one of his own.

Once in a while however, there is a civil war of sorts and division will be created. Not common. Like Canelo did against Chavez Jr or as you mentioned with Barrera vs Morales.

Cuban fighters say it all the time.

I really don't get all the hype behind Munguia. He's clearly not an elite fighter, and is very limited skill wise. He's getting by on basic boxing, size, power and great match making imo and needs much more experience at the top level for GBP to even be thinking about putting him in with Canelo anytime soon..

These clowns want to hate on Canelo for not wanting to fight Munguia right now but if he did fight him they’d say he’s cherry picking an easy win

Beat me to it.

I was gonna mention how Cubans will almost never fight each other in pros, and I get why. Cubans got nobody in boxing but each other. They also have the hardest journey to box professionally.

Filipino fighters are afraid to fight each other like nonito,pac etc! What’s the big deal !

Argentinians as well prefer not to fight each other

Lmao.. Canelo ducking Zurdo!

Is there any record of any Mexican saying he doesn't want to fight Mexicans before this? It just seems weird. He sounds like a politician now. Or his PR guy said "Mexicans will love you more if you say this". It's a sport. The best should want to fight the best, regardless of nationality. Imagine a Mexican runner saying he would hate to race another Mexican runner. It's a sport. I don't get it.

Maidana said the same with Matthysse
