Why is Murata "a bum" or less worthy of Canelo?

[The Big Dunn]

Ok I get you then,I would only prefer Canelo fights those other contenders but I know the game: Andrade has too much invested by Dazn/Hearn to let Canelo beat him(if),Smith likely the same applies because he sells,BJS would be a complete snoozfest of epic Lara proportions imho,but it can be made,but just recently ppl were screaming how hes a cherrypick when Canelo was linked to fighting him next,now that he isn't hes again ducking him.

Dazn doesn't want to cannabalize itself & that's surely why Muratas next(if) because they're a different business model from ppv

Going to Japan to fight Murata is fine. I just think for many they prefer someone better.

Not a bad fight. Should be held in Japan.
Sorta confused why GGG never took that fight. I guess the bums he fought were better alternatives.

Murata is weird. On one hand Murata didn't live up to his hype, losing to NDam and Brant, two not so elite 160 guys. On the other hand he did live up to his hype when he knocked both those guys out in immediate rematches. Having seen Murata both lose and win those rematches may have given Team Canelo enough information to dissect him.

He is not a bum. He is a decent fighter who comes to fight and can punch and take a punch. He is nothing outstanding though, with two losses to guys that were nothing special. He avenged both losses and he is a hard attacking game fighter with mostly KO wins and makes for good fights. He is rated slightly below Dervy, Andrade and Jermall and well below GGG and Canelo. It would be a reasonable fight for Canelo but he would be about a 12 to 1 underdog.

For the record I don’t think Murata gets local judges for a Canelo fight..Oscar and Mauricio wouldn’t let that happen. Expect two Americans and one international judge at the very least.

Self explanatory why is Murata being viewed as a cherrypick when hes the exact opposite especially if its in Japan & rids haters of the built in judges excuse. I put forth that he would be by far the most entertaining fight for cinco de mayo & create a new rivalry between two proud peoples.

Is Murata even a top10 MW? a top 20?

Murata lost for the second time while the fight was being negotiated.

we can't answer until we know who Charlo is fighting next. If I am correct, Deverychenko was just mad eWBC mando so if Charlo fights him next it will be Charlo.

Also, asking this question equates everyone and leaves out the fact Canelo is choosing not to fight the guys ranked ahead of Murata.

Man Sergiy vs. Charlo!

Wow!!!! Sign me up.

That’s an awesome fight.

Why was he those things when ggg was gonna fight him, but isn’t now?
