If it can't be David Benavidez, Jaime Munguia's a solid challenger to Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on Saturday - he's a top five super middleweight. The all-Mexican element of Canelo-Munguia, in Las Vegas on Cinco de Mayo weekend, also gives it another element - not least because Mexican fans are the most vocal in this part of the world. The timing of Saturday's fight makes it interesting. Munguia, 27, has defensive flaws but he seems to be getting better and better, and the appointment of Freddie Roach as his trainer can only benefit him. It's also increasingly being questioned whether Canelo is as good, and as hungry, as he once was. Munguia - who looks very hungry, because he can detect the potential superstardom within his reach - is edging closer to the top of the 168lbs division, but is he still easy enough to hit that Canelo can pick him off between the punches that Munguia throws? Canelo remains a quality fighter, but can he still avoid it becoming difficult in there against Munguia, and if he can't, does he have the desire to win a difficult fight?
