Julio César Chávez leaves some requests for Jaime Munguía

Canelo Álvarez and Jaime Munguía They will measure forces at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. There are many expectations about this fight. Although they wanted to see Canelo with David Benavídez, Julio César Chávez has good impressions of Munguía.

“The Legend” of Mexican boxing offered his thoughts on Jaime Munguía. Julio César Chávez believes that “Tatanka” has the capabilities to compete with fighters of the stature of Canelo or even Benavídez.

“Munguía is a fighter who is growing. In his last fight he showed that he is fit to fight with Canelo, with Benavidez,” Chávez told the media.

The last fight that Julio César Chávez refers to was the last fight against John Ryder. That fight took place in January 2024 and Munguía took the victory by technical knockout. In this way, the Mexican inflates his balance of 43 victories without defeats.

However, the former Mexican boxer believes that Munguía should have a couple more fights at 168 pounds before raising the level and facing more established fighters. This fight with Canelo is a great opportunity to show that the Tijuana native is ready for big stages.

“I would like him to do about two more fights at 168 pounds to really see his potential. (…). I think (Munguía) should do one or two more fights and then fight the big guys,” she added.

David Benavidez He has become the fighter desired by boxing fans. In addition to asking for a fight with Canelo Álvarez, Julio César Chávez also considers that Munguía could face the “Red Flag”, but he acknowledged that it would be very difficult for him.
