Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez vs. Jaime Munguia in Talks For September 14

I hope this is just a bargaining ploy to get a better deal fighting Kovalev or Andrade. At this point, a Canelo vs Mungia fight is a non-starter for me. As much as I detest Golovkin and his whiny crew, I prefer that Canelo fight Golovkin rather than Mungia.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Solid fight, they were gonna cash out Mungunia and Im glad they do him justice by letting him get the Canelo payday!

There should be cries if he fights GGG or Canelo. They both brutally destroy this kid.

He should fight Vargas or Teixeira.

While I wasn't complaining when Triple g was negotiating to fight Munguia, I'm also not gonna complain if Canelo fights him.
While I don't think neither Canelo or Triple g should fight Munguia since they are both level's above him, it's totally different if Canelo fights him instead of Triple g.
The difference is that Canelo just fought Daniel Jacob's and he is willing to fight Sergei Kovolav (another dangerous fight) while Triple g isn't willing to take huge risk's against top competition cause he wants to preserve his opportunity for another Canelo pay day..
So Triple g is only willing to take easy fights while Canelo is willing to take risk's...

Let's be clear Munguia has no business in there with Canelo or GGG he will be slaughtered and hurt bad. He's strong and hits hard but his defense is terrible and he gets hit too often. He's coming off 2 shaky performances. Jumping up to 160 isn't a bad idea but fighting either out the gate could ruin his career.

Hopefully this is like past fights where they make a offer to the real opponent and he doesn't want to sign trying to squeeze more money so what does Oscar do makes a offer to lesser guy to put pressure it gets out to the media to get the real fight done. He's done this in the past throwing Lemieux's name out there, did it with Jacobs too. I think Kovalev is the real fight they want and Munguia is the bait to tell them if you price yourself out someone else can get that fight.

Let's hope you are hope right. This Mungia business is a sad joke and diminishes Canelo. It would be a big relief if Golden Boy announces in the next few days that a fight with Andrade or Kovalev has been sealed. Even Canelo fighting the hypocritical Golovkin is preferable to this.

When is someone going to willingly say that they are considering Andrade as an opponent? Dude has a belt & these guys act like he doesn't exist. I like em all but c'mon now.

Good for Munguia...and Bad for Munguia! Should make his biggest payday, but he's going to get punished! Will there be post-fight testing after this one? Lol!

[DuckAdonis]

... possibly... or even more likely...

... but it's about huge money here -- Canelo-GGG III is the most expensive fight at this moment...

Yeah I have no problem with them fighting eachother again, but they haven't even mentioned Andrade or anything...when he has a belt in their division and is fighting on the same platform. It's getting su****ious

He didn't impress me so much against Jacobs.
I liked the boxing but it wasn't exactly a rip snorter.
Plus I saw he still has his stamina issues and that's what's going to lead to him getting beaten.

maybe, but not against Golovkin

... Man, GGG didn't retire yet only because the "Canelo trilogy" (and money)... GGG doesn't hold another motivation to fight... While Canelo should have taken Andrade more seriously and fight him next, in September...

yep I 100% agree with that point..... **** on

but, not yet..... not with Munguia

Lemieux is still there if they want a look-good opponent

let the kid get a few more fights under his belt
