Isn't it Munguia is now the mandatory for Canelo's WBO belt?
And so he should give him a chance or at least follow and fight his mandatory. But we all know that he can choose whatever fighter he wants to fight next, he has the leverage as he is the cash-cow. But we will see, as we have noted, all roads to Canelo, to from Munguia to David Benavidez, they are all looking for that huge pay check if they will or can get a fight next year, May or September, that's usually the month/date that Canelo fight.
I really don't know If he is the Mandatory fight for Canelo Alvarez but I just saw in the news that Jaime Munguia is eyeing to fight Canelo Alvarez while Alvarez is making excuses that he doesn't want to fight a Mexican,
And the leverage that Canelo holds in the boxing world allows him the freedom to choose his opponents strategically. While fans and fellow fighters like Munguia and David Benavidez eagerly seek the opportunity to face him, it's clear that the pursuit of a significant payday is a driving factor. The anticipation for potential matchups in May or September, Canelo's usual fighting months, adds an extra layer of excitement to the boxing landscape. The coming year holds the promise of high-stakes and high-profile fights, as fighters position themselves for a chance to step into the ring with the cash cow of boxing,
Yes, I do agree though, mandatories are not going to be enforce by this governing bodies, specially with Canelo's star power right now. He can choose who and where he is fighting and those bodies are just going to nod and say yes.
But in any case, it will be a good fight and maybe it could be the biggest for Canelo. Instead of fighting other names, it was reported that Munguia sold out the tickets in Phoenix more than what Benavidez can do in his own city.
