Canelo Ălvarez explains why he will not fight David Benavidez: âYou canât resist my powerâ
The Superstar of Boxing Canelo Ălvarez finally spoke about why he does not want to face David Benavidez, despite the calls of fans and Benavidez himself. In a overwhelming statement, Canelo affirmed the class difference between the two fighters, stating that Benavidez âcould not handle his powerâ in the ring.
David Benavidez, nicknamed âThe Mexican Beastâ, has repeatedly asked for a fight with Canelo, claiming that he deserves an opportunity to fight for the title against the undisputed super medium weight champion. However, Canelo has flatly rejected the idea, claiming that Benavidez is not yet at the level to challenge him.
âDavid is a good fighter, but he is not ready for me,â Canelo said in a recent interview. âHe has never faced anyone with my power. I have fought with world -class opponents and I know who can get into the ring with me. He canât with mine power.â
Despite Caneloâs refusal, boxing fans still expect a fight between these two first level fighters to be made. Benavidez has been in an impressive way with a series of powerful victories, and many experts believe he is the best contender to challenge Canelo in super medium weight.
Meanwhile, Canelo seems to have other plans for his career, including facing larger opponents or even rising weight category. Can Benavidez exert sufficient pressure on Canelo to change my mind?
