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.

Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay - Mexican rivals Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, both undefeated and reigning WBC champions, went face to face at the WBC's annual convention at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The two fighters ran into each other at Monday's big WBC dinner and the two of them exchanged pleasent words and posed for pictures.
"He's not afraid of me and I don't have any fear either," said Chavez Jr., who hopes their respective promoters can reach a deal for the two of them to fight each other in 2012. The big issue in making the fight is the weight, where Chavez fights at 160-pounds, while Canelo is a junior middleweight.
