What do you think of his chances against Benavidez, provided ofc that Benavidez accepts the fight?

Don't see Munguia being up to the task. Supermiddle? Munguia was an oversized superwelter not all that long ago. One in a long line of hyped Mexicans who build an unbeaten receord to the point their sell-by date passes. Middleweight isn't all that deep. I'd give Munguia a decent shot to rise to the top there. He's due to face Derevyanchenko; this may be billed as supermiddle, but both belong at 160. Benavidez-Munguia would be an exercise in cashing in on a Mexico vs Mexican/American spectacle. Perhaps it'd serve to keep Benavidez busy while Canelo pursues Bivol and further build Benavidez's bonafides for a shot at all the marbles at 168.

No, he's definitely a big kid, he easily fights at 168. I can see him ending up at 175 easily. And he DID beat Liam Smith and Spike O'Sullivan.
