    Somewhere between 5 and 10. He has s lot of holes in his game that can easily be exploited by the top guys.

    If he fights again before the first of the year, that'll have been seven fights in the span of a year.

    Not that fighters don't do it anymore but it definitely is not the norm.

    I don't recall hearing them say that, but then again I wasn't paying much attention to the commentators between fights.

    Neither did I. I was watching on a spanish channel, but I was following the rbr and they said that hbo was showing fight night weights for all the fights except Canelo/GGG.

    Shove him in with Trout. Let see him get boxed, and see if he has that extra cuteness to deal with it.

    I call BS on him cutting 20lbs. That is just too much.
    But he is definitely big. Should outgrow the division in the coming years.
    I wonder if his activity is allowing him to stay at 154. Must help being always in shape. No weight cutting.

    It would be a fun fight but Hurd has too much experience right now. Munguia should keep doing what he's doing and challenge Hurd in 2019 or 2020, probably at MW.

    So I am a fan of Munguia's, he's fighting a lot, he's exciting, and he's taken risky fights. I also think his potential is huge. But as for where Munguia is right now, he's behind:
    Hurd
    Charlo
    Lara (the loss to Hurd was very close)

    So about #5.

    I haven't seen any thing from him that suggests he'd beat either of the three. Beating Sadam Ali, and Canelo's left overs doesn't mean ****, as neither guy is better than any of the guys I've mentioned. Throw in Lara as well. Mungia is an exposure waiting to happen

    I'd like to see Munguia fight Lara and see if Lara could avoid him like he usually does or fight him straight up like he did with Hurd. It's an interesting clash of styles.

    He actually cuts more than 20. His Saturday HBO re-weigh was 175.5 and that was hours before the fight. Probably got in the ring closer to 177-178.

    Yeah, I think Mungia is a bit smaller and less massive than Hurd though, and also a bit unskilled. Nobody thinks Antonio Margarito would beat Lara. Mungia isn't even Margarito in my opinion.

    He's beaten some soldid guys his last 2 fights. He'd beat Lara, Williams and any other guy not named Charlo or Hurd. If it happens I'll perma ban bet you
