David Benavidez has no shortage of HUGE fights on his radar. In an exclusive interview with BoxingScene, Jose Benavidez Sr. makes it clear that David still wants the biggest names at 175lbs including Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev. Benavidez has previously said those are two fights he wants to make as he pursues more titles and major challenges. But there’s another name that could make things very interesting: Andy Ruiz Jr. Jose discusses the possibility of an all-Mexican showdown between Benavidez and the former heavyweight champion, along with David’s plans across multiple divisions. And with a potential Jai Opetaia showdown also building after the pair came face-to-face following Opetaia’s latest victory, Benavidez has some massive options ahead.

Former champion Robert Guerrero was shaking his head after reading the recent comments that were made by WBA/IBF junior welterweight champion Amir Khan, who in a recent interview told reporters that Juan Manuel Marquez refused to fight him earlier in the year. Guerrero, citing Khan's own comments, says the British boxer turned him down earlier this year, and instead he took what Guerrero believes was an easier fight against Zab Judah. Before he reached an agreement with Judah, Khan told British reporters that Judah was a lackluster opponent and Guerrero made a lot more sense.
"Hey Ms. Con, keep talking about the guys who refused to fight you. Why don't you tell the world that you refused to fight me. Our promoter offered you the fight and you turned it down. Styles make fights and glass breaks. Stop hiding behind Freddie [Roach] and [Alex] Ariza. You are a con artist," Guerrero said.
