    Not interested in percentages or chances.

    I've already seen 6 upsets in boxing this year, and to me this 1 would feel like the closest of the lot.

    I couldn't agree with you more.. Munguia would take a brutal beating at the hands of morrell and benavidez. He has absolutely zero head movement and drops his right hand everytime he throws a jab.

    Triple G finishes what Sergiy started on Sat night.

    Munguia hits the deck within 6. Most likely stays there. Gennady still has that power. Maybe not to the extent he did 6-7 years ago… but still has a lot of it.

    As I said about Golovkin before the Murata fight, its the young lions with the high energy styles that typically expose the old dudes. That's essentially what Munguia did to SD ... ran out his batteries and beat him down late. If Golovkin has anything left in the tank I fancy him against a hittable target like Munguia. But if he's let his conditioning go to hell then Munguia might have a good chance at the W

    Sorry to say I think JM wins by UD. Don’t think Golovkin can pull the trigger anymore.

    Which is not to say I rate JM. He’s gonna get battered at 168.

    SD outboxed (and actually won to) gg too. So I dont think we can come to any conclusion here.

    JM is a workhorse, he would just outwork GGG. 41 year old GGG can't keep up with JM who is a young hungry lion in his prime. GGG is an old unmotivated punching bag. There's no way he could beat Jamie.

    Yeah seriously, but I’ve seen enough upsets in boxing over the years to think this….there wouldn’t be any need for a debate otherwise if everyone just agreed to side with the favourite.

    What's crazy about this topic is that this poll is 31-5 in favor of GGG winning. A GGG that people claim was completely shot against Canelo (which isn't an unreasonable stance given the underwhelming performance).

    So, 41 year old GGG is overwhelming being picked to beat Prime workhorse undefeated Munguia. I'm strongly picking Munguia simply because how GGG looked against Canelo. But what doesn't make sense is that, for the people picking GGG, well then obviously people don't think he's that shot. If this many people are picking him to beat Jamie, that suggests that he's still very good even at 41.

    Jamie Munguia is no walkover. For this high of a % of fans picking a 41 year old GGG to beat him means they still think GGG is a force to be reckoned with. The problem is for the last 9 months we kept hearing about how the only reason Canelo was able to clearly beat him finally was because GGG was so old. But yet he's still good enough to beat Munguia? Make it make sense, PLEASE.

    I feel at times Munguia lets his defense down purposely in fights in which he feels the fighter wouldn't be able to beat or knock him out, with GGG he would fight more intelligently making it closer & possibly defeat him.

    The problem with Munguia is he so damn easy to hit. He also doesn't have the fastest hands either. Chenko timed him and the big question is can GGG too. This is a 41 year old GGG who looked like he couldn't pull the trigger against Canelo but Canelo has twice the speed of Munguia. Interesting matchup for sure.

    Also will Golden Boy risk one of his groomed cash cow ? Looked like his heart dropped when Munguia was staggering in the ring.

    1) Canelo is much better than Munguia
    2) He's harder to hit and hits harder with better timing than Munguia
    3) People are assuming GGG has something left in the tank. If he's on E he's gonna be in trouble.\
    4) If GGG has a good performance left in him he sends Jaime to the hospital
    5) I don't think GGG is going to fight again
