    On paper he should be really good but he has struggled with C level opponents, its not a good look. Don't know why oscar is pushing him so hard, maybe he wants an easy opponent for canelo down the road.

    One of those fighters who you see for the first time and think "okay let's see how this new hyped guy dispatches him........oh **** this IS the hyped guy....."

    He doesn't pass the eye test and struggles against crafted step ups. They had a promotional budget and no one to hype or something, who knows

    Mungia is not impressive but he's fun to watch.

    youth, size, chin, power..
    can take you far.. until he met elite fighters.
    Still.. those combination alone is hard to beat.

    hes upset and overrated sadam ali and oscar has been shoving him down our throates ever since. hes a decent boxer with alot of size, but lacks knckout power.

    That was one of the worst mismatches i've ever seen, saddam looked so tiny.

    It's not exactly a golden era at middleweight. Canelo and Derevyanchenko are gone, GGG and Murata are aging, Jermall may move up soon.

    It seems like a good time to hype whatever MW you have available.

    Just a bunch of fools talking ****. These kind of folks look for any reason to critisize fighters. Not real fans. Some are very knowledgable, but lack finding joy in the sport.
