I have a feeling that GGG and Munguia would fight each other this year

Its probably the biggest money fight at 160 atm and I think 26 y/o Mung is feeling himself ready enough to beat 41y/o GGG.

Also its a very good cash in for both fighters.

Atm GGG is pretty old and it seems like the right time for GBP to match Mung against GGG.

I wish GGG would say OK, you fight and beat the two guys that offered you title shots, then we'll fight. Even one would be good.

It's possible. Golovkin started to drop belts without giving a sh1t to awkward mandatory choices. He wants a money fight before the retirement.

Money pay the bills and belts collect dust and sanction fees. GGG vs Mung is the best money fight at 160 atm. It would be stupid to not make it.

Munguia hasn't earned the right to fight GGG. He has turned down every big fight offered him. Now, he wants to fight 40yr old GGG. SMH

Tbh I'd like to see GGG retire and let Mung fight a young top mw.

They won't put Munguia in with anything that resembles a good boxer.

Well, they wanted to match him vs Charlo but the negotiations have failed.

ODLH: “Jaime Munguia vs Charlo listen. We want the fight, obviously, Charlo is the champion. He gets the bigger cut. We all know that. That’s common sense. Showtime, yes, you have the fight on showtime pay-per-view but I need the zone to participate. They built Mungia. That’s only fair. It’s business, more platforms, more pay-per-views, more money for the fighters. What’s wrong with that?”

A fight vs GGG would be much easier to be made on DAZN.

It seems like DLH has the same issue with all of the fights he promotes.

Well there you go, you said it.
If Oscar felt like he was capable of beating Charlo I'm sure he'd go for it.
He doesn't believe it, neither do I and neither do you probably.
Why ?
Boxers, Munguia after 41 fights still hasn't convinced us he has enough skill to stay in a proper boxing bout with the next level fighters.
That's why we are talking about a potential GGG fight which is also seen a very risky contest even though GGG is older now.
It's a tough one for Munguia, but at the same time after 41 fights it's literally impossible to say I think you need another twenty fights to see where you are, know what I mean.
Is he going to grow or is he going to go :box:

Oscar wanted that DAZN to take part too but we know the PBC in house fights strategy. :OhYes:

41 y/o GGG may be as dangerous as Charlo for Munguia but the money would be bigger.
