“There was a number of names on the desk,” David Benavidez said on social media Tuesday, “however I wished to offer my followers one of the best battle potential. I reached out to David Morrell and his staff to make this occur and we received the contract achieved. This battle actually gonna be a banger!!!! 2 of one of the best within the division and a pair of titles on the road LFG!!!!! Date and placement to be introduced shortly.” No doubt, this may make for an fascinating battle if confirmed true, for it can characteristic two of the most important hitters within the sport squaring off.
Whereas it’s a provided that followers would nonetheless like to see Benavidez tackle boxing’s greatest star in Canelo Alvarez, it’s simply not going to occur any time quickly, if in any respect. Credit score Benavidez for transferring on with out bitterness. He’s received a profession of his personal to consider, and it’s apparent he’s not involved in spending it in Canelo’s shadow. Additionally, ought to this battle develop into a actuality, it might be extremely anticipated by the game’s fanbase. And one of the best ways to develop into Canelo massive is to emerge victorious in battle after battle towards rock arduous competitors – and Benavidez is doing simply that if he’s set to satisfy Morrell within the ring.

And whereas it may be ridiculous to accuse Canelo of ducking anybody (have a look at the person’s resume for proof of his willingness to battle harmful opposition), the purpose is obvious – the 29-0 Benavidez is a power to be reckoned with. He’s fought robust guys, slick guys and just about anybody in between and has by no means misplaced. He’s additionally completed all however 5 of his opponents inside the distance.
Each fighters, in brief, are nothing if not harmful.
