Despite winning two eliminators for the WBC super middleweight championship and capturing the WBC interim 168-pound title, David Benavidez has yet to receive a title chance against champion Canelo Alvarez, and he is furious about it. This article was written by Dan Ambrose.
Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs) claims that he was promised a rematch with Canelo if he continued his winning streak, but so far, he has had no such success. The World Boxing Council should require Canelo to defend against Benavidez so that the fans may finally have the match they want to witness.
In the event that he is unable to secure bouts with Canelo and Caleb Plant this year, Benavidez has threatened to make the jump to 175 pounds in 2019. In particular, he is after the victor of Bivol and Ramirez.
A decent fight? I didn’t think so. David Benavidez complained to lalosboxing that the third fight in the trilogy between Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin was the most dull of the bunch.
Benavidez, when asked what he would have done had he faced Canelo, responded, “It would have been a whole different battle.” I’ve gained height and muscle. Canelo’s sole advantage against me is his greater level of experience.
“Canelo’s opponents in the super middleweight class have been no match for him in terms of power. I wouldn’t even call them garbage. So that’s why they can’t support Canelo. Canelo could always count on Golovkin’s support.
He [Canelo] had no power when he faced Caleb Plant, much like Billy Joe Saunders had no power when he fought Timothy Bradley. The man, Rocky Fielding, from whom he won his first championship belt at weight of 168 pounds. He was completely powerless. Despite his popularity, Yildirim was powerless. He only ever defeated one legitimate champion, Callum Smith. For that, he has my admiration.
Canelo will have an issue with you if he doesn’t recognize your authority. My record is 26-0-0 with 23 knockout victories; I have the quickness and power to effectively shut him down.
How he abruptly halted the press session when my name was mentioned. I’m sure that’s getting to him because he’s been acting off recently. I’ve worked hard to be where I am. I have held the number one spot in the WBC rankings for four fights. In short, I want the job they offered me.
‘Win this WBC championship eliminator, and you’ll fight Canelo next,’ they told me. Two of them I had to fight. After that, they promised that if he won the WBC interim championship, he would face Canelo next. Who or what do you think the ranking system is for? as Benavidez put it.
