Why would they put Munguia who just won the WBO belt at 154 in a fight with Lemieux at 160. Sure Munguia may very well beat Lemieux at 160 but why would they risk it when he just won at 154 and hasn't fought at 160. Lemieux can't box for s hit but he hits really hard and goes up to like 176 on fight night. Munguia is not a slick boxer, I would pick Munguia to win that fight but why would they risk a fight at 160 when they just won the WBO belt at 154. That's what I'm saying.
We know they are just going to focus on 154 right now, so bringing up a fighter from 160 makes no sense right now at this point.
As far as Cotto and Ali. Cotto was in his very last fight, 37 years old, his body literally broke down in that fight from all the wear and tear in his long career and tore his biceps in his left arm in round 7.
Yeah it was a close back and forth fight for the initial 7, 8 rounds but.....
If Cotto did not tear his biceps in his left arm, he would have beat Sadam Ali by decision. Absolutely.

Originally posted by Boxing Goat View PostOh I agree, I was just saying that he's a big JMW and would probably beat him. The kid needs to take care of business at 154 before moving up. He's 21 years old for pete's sake.
Yeah, at this point in their careers I likely would take Munguia beating Lemieux too. Though I doubt his handlers would risk finding that out for no good reason when Munguia has never fought at 160 and Lemieux can barely make 160, he has to kill himself to make 160. Besides that, yes Lemieux sucks at boxing but the man does punch really hard. I still would pick Munguia to win though, he's the younger, fresher guy.
But yes, I agree with you, Munguia and his young self has to take care of business at 154 first. He just recently moved up to 154 not too long ago.
