Why Would GGG Pick Mungia Over Andrade

[STREET CLEANER]

That's the problem with boxing though. It's the fighters who should hold themselves to the highest standard and we don't have that today.

Yup, include Bud in that phrase.

As we saw in the first Canelo fight, GGG doesn’t deal well with guys who move a lot and fight on the back foot like Andrade. He is much more comfortable trading bombs at mid range and Munguia plays right into that.

Munguia can **** but I think G’s chin will hold up and he’ll get the stoppage or a couple knockdowns at the very least.

GGG is doing the same thing he's done his entire career. Cherry picking.

Gotta be honest, as a fan of both GGG and Andrade, I'd much rather watch a GGG-Mungia fight. It will be 100x more pleasing for fans IMO

Even at this stage of his career I'd give GGG a good shot to beat Andrade also, he is a good boxer but he can't crack an egg and GGG can still fight.

Good post. Oh no doubt, GGG thought Sergei was the lowest hanging fruit for a belt at 160. I think he thought that was going to be an easy fight too. Considering how Sergei looked vs Culcay.

Andrade is about the hardest guy for me to read out there. Sometimes I feel like he is going to fold against a Canelo or someone like that. But his performance vs Sulecki was very impressive to me. He dominated a guy who went very close with Jacobs. Jacobs was of course competitive with Canelo and GGG.

Wouldn't be surprised if Andrade beat anyone around that weight

yeah i actually think sulecki is an underrated win and andrades best win

and yeah its really frustrating we still cant read andrade...i remember how everyone swore when he linked up with hearn/DAZN how we were gonna get meaningful fights....its frustrating

yeah i get that jamie/ggg is a much friendlier fight...and i know im a golovkin hater but arent you interested in seeing andrade vs an elite fighter? i know i am....

whats golovkin doing with that ibf belt and defending it against uncalled for mandos if hes not going to unify with andrade or charlo?

golovkin has never really stepped out of his comfort zone when people wanted him to...ie lara or ward...he built his rep, pre canelo, fighting guys they picked because they knew theyd be knock out victims....golovkins always had the easier path and even though i know hes old and on the downside i still want him facing top guys and proving something...because in his biggest fights hes come up short or had debatable wins.....im tired of him getting a pass

yeah him vs jamie would be action and all that...its cool...but im more interested in seeing two champs at 160 go out and to see what andrade has vs elite comp...if golovkin can still "fight" like you say than he should be facing a guy like andrade

Yup, include Bud in that phrase.

You make it sound as if Bud has had all of these great elite opponents in his weight classes all these years the way Canelo and GGG have with Andrade, the Charlos, etc. But, if Bud does duck the Spence match, I will no longer be a fan. I don't think he will.

Andrade looks like the goods but has not fought a top fighter yet. Wasted too many years of his life waiting around. He is the unknown risk.

They will sell Mungia/GGG better than against Andrade. That is Andrade's fault for not making a case for himself.

obviously Mungia brings in the large Mexican fan ba$e, does Andrade have a fan base? lol

Yeah I would like them to fight for sure but I'm at the point in my enjoyment of watching boxing where I'd rather just see some guys go at it and hopefully one gets dropped and stopped.
Watching Andrade dance around the ring for 12 rounds landing pitty pat shots and trying to survive against GGG would be a snooze fest IMO.. but maybe I'm wrong and they go after it and it turns out to be a great scrap.

I'll watch either of them of course and I wouldn't be mad at the result either way it went if GGG and Andrade do fight.
