David Benavidez says Canelo Alvarez doesn’t point out his identify as a result of he’s the “most harmful fighter. Alvarez would somewhat combat the smaller Terence Crawford and William Scull than face Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOs). Benavidez thinks Canelo is afraid of him, and followers really feel the identical method.
The ‘Mexican Monster’ Benavidez feels that it might be higher for the unified tremendous middleweight champion Canelo to combat any individual from his personal weight class somewhat than choose a man that only in the near past moved up from 147 to 154 in his final combat.
Saudi Disappointment
“I really feel like my identify isn’t talked about as a result of I’m essentially the most harmful fighter on the market however for the least amount of cash,” mentioned David Benavidez to the Mystic Zach about why Canelo Alvarez has proven no real interest in preventing him. “All these fighters, I really feel they see every part as a enterprise transfer. It wasn’t like that again then, however I really feel that is the dynamic of boxing is altering.
Benavidez isn’t completely satisfied that Canelo Alvarez remains to be ducking him regardless of his having signed a contract with the Saudis. He’s not even talked about as one of many prospects for Alvarez to combat, and that’s unhappy as a result of the concept is the Saudis are speculated to be placing on nice fights. Neither of the 2 fights that Canelo can be preventing this 12 months are large fights in a real sense.
“Canelo, in my view, the very best combat he may make is in opposition to me as a result of it might be the very best combat in boxing. We’d give the followers a whole lot of fireworks in that combat, however Canelo, he needed to go a distinct route. He needed to combat any individual that’s arising from 147,” mentioned Benavidez about Terence Crawford. “A smaller man.”
Canelo’s selection of the ageing, smaller 37-year-old Crawford over a combat in opposition to Benavidez reveals that he needs nothing to do with him, and it’ll play it protected for the rest of his profession.
Alvarez will accumulate good checks, preventing the likes of William Scull, Crawford, Hamzah Sheeraz, Chris Eubank Jr., and Conor Benn. Dmitry Bivol may very well be added to that record if he’s victorious in his trilogy match in opposition to Artur Beterbiev.
Canelo’s Avoidance
“I’m going to say it’s going to be a simple combat for him as a result of Terence Crawford is a superb fighter. However I really feel it might be higher for the individuals if he [Canelo] fought any individual in his personal weight class. If something, it doesn’t derail me. It offers me extra motivation as a result of now I do know that these persons are ducing me for a motive.
“Again then, I had a sense that these individuals weren’t publicly ducking me. Now, it reveals how good I’m,” mentioned Benavidez.
