As a super middle Leweight, David Benavidez won, but he never received a real “great fight” under the weight that would be a shot in Canelo Alvarez.
If someone, like someone in boxes-sport, who works as opposed to any other in terms of event to the event and progression of career-benavidez, did everything possible to find the fight against Canelo, and although Canelo could be seen as technical correct that Fan Benavide and he had no one peak Fighters, the idea is slightly distributed compared to Canelo’s actual choices.
What Jaime Mungia or Edgar Berlanga, two opponents of Canelo in 2024, did that Benavidez did not? Did Munguia really introduce an amazing amount of more fans to fight than Benavidez could have? Berlanga certainly did. And none of them had an as good CV as Benavidez, a multiple title holder.
Benavidez had rocky times in his career. Twice devoid of global titles, once on positive cocaine testing, once on the missing weight in “Banka” in 2020, but he learned, matured, grew up. He is not the same man he was a few years ago, and not the same warrior.
Now two fights in his campaign as a slight weight, Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO) won with David Morrell Jr., descending from the canvas to get a decision within 12 rounds. The 28-year-old does not intend to reverse his sights to Canelo, who is in line in the queue to Terenka “Bud” Crawford in September, so the question about the elusive great fight should be a Benevidez, who are trying to land with the winner of February 22 of the rematch between Artur BetiveView and Dmitry Biblical.
It can be tough or of course. While boxing begins to consolidate, for the better or worse, under the banner of the Riyjad Turki Alalshikha season, there are still protruding values, and the greatest of the party are the most significant boxing masters, for whom Benavidez has been a true soldier for many years.
Benavidez certainly could get a fight; This is not before, and if Alalshikh is willing to pay, we blessed PBC, then Will sends fighters to cards. But their own contract with the best Amazon movie is almost exclusively profitable and is not dangerously low under the stars, and to be sincere, it is only a matter of time before the names of PBC move to the Riyadh group, including the best players such as Benavidez and Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
In particular, Benavidez seems likely because we know that he wants the biggest fights and is not afraid to test and choose a challenging path; If that were the case, he would not fight for a hazardous Morrell, whose own name was relatively low in the case of the main PPV fight.
Betterbiev (21-0, 20 KO) and Bivol (23-1, 12 KO) may not be available this year. If Bivol gains a rematch, which is completely possible, a rubber fit between them can happen later in 2025, if he gains better profit again, there is really a chance that it may consider suspending gloves at the age of 40, doing almost a lot. Boxer. His history of injury contributes to these opportunities, if Betterbiev goes 2-0 against the biblical, excellent warrior, and confirmed himself as clearly as the undisputed champion, he prefers him until his body finally reveals him during Figt.
Benavidez has time, although he is certainly tired of waiting for this call to the brand. A bigger question may be the time and desire for Betterbiev or the biblical emergence emerging from their competition, regardless of whether they are two fights or three.
And if this is not none of them, it can simply end the division, so that Benavidez takes over power, somehow sleep in a welterweight, he never took the torch from the previous star, Floyd Mayweather.
In the meantime, David Benavidez simply secured the real best warrior about the quality of the star, if not yet an opportunity for a star. Either he will get such a chance and try to take her by force, or he will simply have to build a fight for a fight. At this stage, no doubt in his subscription to do it in one way or another.
