Canelo Continues To Dismiss Fight With Benavidez
Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez continues to give boxing fans the finger by being dismissive about fighting David Benavidez. It has gotten to the point where boxing fans and pundits have accepted the fight won’t happen and some of Canelo fans seem to be ok with this. In addition, Benavidez would gladly come down for Canelo. But without any pressure being applied to make the fight boxing losses out again.
Canelo’s statement was full of contradictions and his resume is proof of that. He has fought guys with far less accomplishments than Benavidez. For this author, if the undisputed champion retires from the sport without fighting The Monster it should forever be a black mark on his resume. Boxing enthusiasts to this day feel robbed that Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis never happened. Same goes for how the sport blundered making Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, or Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder. When the top guys of any era don’t fight it hurts the sport in a major way.
