Via Knitting Ambrosio: Oscar De La Hoya did not give up the idea of staging a fight between boxer Jaime Munguia and Gennadiy Golovkin. Oscar wants the boxing public to put a lot of pressure on Golovkin to fight Munguia, but that won’t happen due to his boxer’s fragile résumé.
The painstaking effort the Golden Boy has made in steering Munguia away from fighters like Demetrius Andrade, Jermall Charlo and Janibek Alimkhanuly has prevented him from becoming a big name.
Munguia’s unpopularity means he’s ignored by Golovkin because he won’t waste his time on an opponent that doesn’t bring him a huge amount of money, not after the millions of dollars he makes was in three games against Canelo Alvarez and him. big contract with DAZN.
There’s no way Golden Boy can force Golovkin against Munguia as he’s not ranked by the WBA, which is the only belt GGG holds after he reportedly vacated his IBF title on Wednesday . Munguia is ranked #1 WBC & #1 WBO, but Golovkin doesn’t hold those titles.
Tonight, Golden Boy boss De La Hoya asked his followers if they would like to see Golovkin (42-2-1, 37 KOs) and undefeated Munguia (41-0.33 KOs) fight. Are not.
you will watch a @GGGBBoxing compare to @jaimemunguia15 and who wins?

Most of all, fans still want to watch it despite the advanced age of 40-year-old Golovkin, who was about to lose to Canelo Alvarez in a trio last September in Las Vegas.
Still, the question remains whether Golovkin will spoil 26-year-old Munguia, although this is perhaps the biggest money-spinning bout for him, aside from a united clash with WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo .
It will be difficult for Golovkin to be motivated to play against Munguia because he has done so little in his ten-year professional career. Although Munguia is amassing an unbeaten record, thanks to the careful arrangement of the Golden Boy, he is not mixed with the best, which has affected his popularity.
It is difficult to say who will win the fight between Golovkin and Munguia. Golovkin’s work rate has been low in his recent skirmishes and he’ll have a hard time trying to beat Munguia in a shootout if he’s not as willing to let go like he was in his best years.
Munguia defended poorly, and if Golovkin can connect enough with his long-range shots, he could score a knockout goal. Again, Golovkin will let go and be willing to do it to Munguia because he will have to be willing to pay the price with aggression.
With a net worth of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Golovkin may not have been willing to fight hard against Munguia, knowing he was already incredibly rich and didn’t need to take the risk at the time. this point in life with all he has. the money he has in the bank.
