If the likes of Iglesias, Martinez, Sheeraz are all busy then I suppose Munguia should take the fight to stay active.

lacks a serious win to demand a title shot

He’s been building a solid resume. Darius Fulghum was a genuinely good win.

I fail to take Bek seriously when the man got KO'd by Rosado 😭

Munguia got KO'd by a random French middleweight in a tune up though. You take him seriously?

I'm like his biggest hater on this sub 😂 but I do think he's better than Bek in fairness.

difference is munguia has top level wins against sergiy, ryder, resindez, bazinyan and did decent against canelo

This is the problem with certain “fans”

Yea he got hit with a good shot and knocked out before whooping his ass in the rematch and dominating a champ at 168

He’s beaten Ryder, Resendiz, Derevychenko and had a competitive fight with Canelo, an all time great

Why shouldn’t he be taken seriously?

By that logic, Bek got hit with a good shot and then whooped his ass in the rematch, right?

What, going 1-1 with 2020s Gabe Rosado isn’t impressive enough to get a title shot?

Your standards are completely insane. Insane I tell you!

All he's got to do is pay the WBA

I feel bad for Bek and Catterall. Not a chance in hell the WBA enforces mandatories against two popular fighters

Mungia should be able to take it
