    Canelo is literally the one negotiating in public. LOL. What are you even talking about at this point?

    Show me one fight where a guy publicly asked for a price and got the fight made. Just one. At every juncture in the history the sport, it has been a priceout tactic to either delay or outright prevent a fight from taking place.

    Bob Arum is not Tyson Fury. You are hanging on to a second hand quote from Bob Arum because you have no evidence to support your claim that Tyson Fury requested anything outside of negotation... and even Arum was negotiating a purse split, not a number pulled from his ass.

    It is fascinating watching you drool while attempting to form a coherent argument.

    That my friend is called an interview. He answered a question about a fight not even on the table at the moment lol. Bob Arum represents Tyson Fury buddy. And again Arum wasn't negotiating, that was also an interview. Wtf you been watching to think negotiations are taped for all to see? And still no good reason from you.....that boy mad.

    So now Canelo has been having secret negotiations with Saudis but the details only leak out... when he is fighting someone else.

    How much brain rot is necessary to try and rationalize this?

    I think we need to give Canelo some credit for taking on Munguia. This is a hell of a challenge for Canelo. Since the fight has been announced, this forum has been mostly complaining about him not fighting Benavidez or bizarrely claiming that Munguia doesn't have a chance in hell. I don't know how many of these people really watch the sport, Munguia is 43-0 34 KOs he is an absolute warrior.

    I get that people want to see him fight Benavidez but this is a major test for Canelo. The storylines here add a lot of intrigue. On the one hand we have the match being promoted by PBC on the other hand we have Jamie's promoter De La Hoya, former promoter of Canelo before they parted ways.

    There's a lot going on here, and on top of everything Munguia represents the biggest threat to Canelo's Undisputed Championship. This matchup is just over one month away. This has all the makings of a 12 round war. CJ I know you've been highly critical of Canelo but this is a great matchup and anyone who loves boxing should be looking forward to this one.

    The problem is Munguia is in this slot too early. He's had two fights at 168 and was never a champion at 160 or the best guy at 154. He may pull off something special, but he just seems grossly out of place.

    I can't tell if you're attempting to draw conclusions or just scribbling on the wall like a madman. Who said any of that? I said it was an interview not a negotiation. You can't negotiate a fight with a no name reporter bro lol. Nobody has a clue if he's ever even met Mr. Excellent. We just know he's the one that ponies up that type of money. You've got a helluva imagination I'll give you that.

    I truly believe that the only chance Munguia has is to KO Canelo. No way in the world would Vegas let their cash cow lose AGAIN!!!!! Especially to Munguia who is not known like Bivol, Beterbiev or Benavidez & will not generate half the $$$$$ for Vegas that they would
    Personally I like Jaime Munguia & I'd love to see him get a fair shake against Canelo with no Judging jiggery pokery. All joking aside I do not believe Canelo is the same fighter since he was humiliated & embarrassed by Bivol . Bivol took his heart & soul , his confidence is gone
    Lets just hope its a good fight with the best man on the night getting the win he truly deserves

    With PEDs, judges, and matchmaking, there are still several boxers in this generation who have clearly beaten Canelo. Without his cheats he is a decent world champion, but not p4p.
