Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Munguia Clash Being Explored For 2021, Says Beltran

[BritishBoxing92]

Zanfer Promoter CEO Fernando Beltran, who co-promotes unbeaten Mexican middleweight contender Jaime Munguia, revealed that there are discussions for a potential 2021 showdown with IBF, IBO world champion Gennadiy Golovkin. Two years ago, Munguia was selected as the opponent for Golovkin - who was seeking a foe to replace Canelo Alvarez, who was pulled from the fight after failing a pre-fight drug test.

Eh? why not lets see how it plays out I guess if his opponent is live and ready to go fight then why not?

Make it happen please!! This Mungia only fight bums time to fight somebody good

Derevyanchenko is available. There's Murata, Brant, Eubank, even Brandon Adams will do.

And after GGG dilapidates Mungia, what's next? Wait for another year to see GGG in a meaningful fight? How many lives do you have, nine?

I hope so; could deliver an incredible fight. I think people are wrong to write of munguia in this.

Chill you're beans...

what's meant to be will be/happen and if he gets into a fight with some one or the other middleweight champions like say Charlo or Andrade then so be it...

Also I hope to christ I don't have nine lives.....one life is enough to drive me crazy as is let alone nine

Mungia 24yrs old. Charlo 30yrs old with 160 belt.. GG should fight Charlo right??

They aren't with the same network man. You know how that stuff works. Push Charlo-Plant or Charlo-Benevidez or even Eubank. Those are the makeable fights for him right now.

Maybe Andrade too, if they both need a dance partner. You won't be able to force that fight with GGG, and probably not Canelo either. If Charlo does more, those fights become more necessary to force/make.

Maybe GGG shows up on fight night and looks 39. He looked good vs Kamil but who knows what he really has left. Odds are he shows Mungia there are levels and breaks him down, early and often.

I actually really like Mungia. I saw a short documentary on him and his family and I became a fan. Just seems like a good hard-working kid who wants to be great. Maybe this is his moment. Remember how he rose to the occasion vs Sadam Ali.

I would be really happy for him if he won. If someone is really going to dethrone GGG on his way out, Mungia is a pretty easy guy to get behind and root for in that case. Kind of wish they waited a bit more to get Mungia ready for a fight like this, but at the same time, if he isn't ready now, he probably will never be.

Would definitely be a fun event/fight. Similar to what it would have been had GGG fought Murata in Japan.

Munguia struggled mightily, should’ve lost to Hogan. Still needs about 2-3 years of fighting top 10 guys and winning before he’s ready for GGG. And by then GGG will be way past it and likely even retired.

Munguia’s prime will prob come at like age 27-29. Still 3-5 years away from prime.

It will be a monster fight as both are coming forward. Munquia needs to improve his defence to have a chance...
