One of the fights most eagerly awaited by boxing connoisseurs is Canelo Alvarez vs David Benavidez. Many are longing for this fight to become a reality, but the Mexican has no intention of making it happen
One of the points that Canelo points out for not making this fight is that Benavidez has not yet earned it.
In an interview with FightHype, the Guadalajara native was once again questioned about why he does not accept the fight with David, and Saul showed considerable discomfort in answering the question and even left a very direct dart to the ‘Mexican Monster’.“By the way he talks, he thinks he’s Superman,” said Canelo. “He’s very disrespectful, not only to me, but to everyone.”
“He’s achieved nothing. He’s not even a champion. He’s not even in my category. There are many things that don’t make sense,” commented Alvarez
A valid justification or does he really want to avoid it?
The excuses Canelo has put forward to swerve a clash with David Benavidez sound evasive and flimsy, irritating boxing experts.
David Benavidez has made his mark on the pound-for-pound lists, with impressive triumphs over Caleb Plant, Demetrius Andrade, Oleksandr Gvozdyk and David Morrell Jr. in his most recent fights, there is no doubt that he is raising his hand to aspire to better things
“In this point of my career, I can do whatever I want,” has been a constant statement from Saul to the experts and media, with a very clear message that he has the future in his hands and will not be guided by his critics to accept fights just to “shut mouths.”
Meanwhile, Canelo‘s next challenge will be against William Scull on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Mexican will seek to unify all the 168-pound championships to put them on the line in a hypothetical fight against Terence Crawford in September.
