Comments Thread For: GBP Prez: Munguia Deserves Shot At Golovkin, Has Cinco de Mayo Weekend Written All Over It

That's real talk! Everyone from 160-168 on DAZN should be begging for BJ Saunders! Everyone from 160-168 with PBC should be begging for a fight with Caleb Plant too!

You can "beg" all day. It doesn't mean a thing. BJ Saunders will fight who he wants to fight, not who the fans want him to fight.

Yeah but we all know this "get a belt" thing is a joke. Charlo and Andrade have belts at 160, Canelo didn't care about unifying then. If Andrade beats BJS or if Charlo beats Plant, Canelo probably goes back down to 160 and fights Spence instead.

Saunders has had the opportunity to fight Golovkin and ducked him, just like he found a way out of the Andrade fight with his nasel spray story about testing postive. He doesn't really want to fight the best. He talks a lot about wanting to fight this guy and that guy but always ends up fighting shot guys like Martin Murray and the last dude he fought. Saunders has lots of talent but he's an underachiever and hasn't really proved anything in his pro career. He had to really utilize the ring to beat slow man Lemeuix. He would have to be on his bike all night to stay away from GGG which would make for a boring fight.

I understand how you feel, but if GGG wants Canelo, his best shot is to get a belt at 168. It just so happens that Saunders is with MatchRoom, just like him, and Saunders fights on DAZN, just like him! If Eddie Hearn can't get you that fight (same goes for you Andrade) then you don't need Eddie Hearn!

Golden boy roster is depleted.

Yeah, I agree. Despite his talent, Saunders seems to lack the confidence to ever step up and be great. All of his self-sabotaging antics may be manifestations of his insecurity about testing himself against the very best and possibly losing.

Actually, Andrade has the inside track (WBO MW Champion) to Saunders because he can get the WBO to force Saunders to fight him, or vacate that belt, just like Usyk is doing at HW! He better move quickly, because I don't think GGG is interested in Munguia! He'll probably try to get Saunders himself, and we all know why!

Poor Munguia being fed to the lions. He would have needed to improve by at least 75% all around, just to make it to the 7th round. Past that he'll get KO-ed or quit on the bench.

More likely GBP will continue to match Munguia with safe opponents for good paydays.

Wow! They really hate Munguia that much?

[JLC]

I think you're underestimating Golovkin. Yes he's slower than he used to be but his head movement and footwork is decent under Jonathan Banks and Munguia never seems to really get much better. I see GGG jabbing his face off and breaking him down for a late stoppage or UD.

I am not big on Jaime but thought he looked a lot better in his last fight v Johnson. Morales is improving him and it’s noticeable.
