The Superstar of Boxing Canelo Álvarez 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 “could not handle his power” in the ring.

David Benavidez, nicknamed “The Mexican Beast”, 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.

“David is a good fighter, but he is not ready for me,” Canelo said in a recent interview. “He 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 can’t with mine power.”

Despite Canelo’s 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?
