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.

The hype continues for the biggest fight in boxing, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao. The Mayweather clan is getting a bit angry. A every turn they get asked about Pacquiao. Mayweather returns on July 18 against Juan Manuel Marquez. Pacquiao will likely wait until then to choose his next opponent. Most insiders see a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout taking place, but others believe the fight won't happen because the two sides will never agree on the split of the money. Both are looking for at least 60-40 in their favor.
During a recent interview with AOL Fanhouse, Floyd's trainer and uncle, Roger Mayweather, became enraged at the sheer mention of Pacquiao's name and said the Filipino fighter is going to "get his ass beat."
"Forget Pacquiao. He's going to get his ass whooped. You don't worry about that. Don't ask me about Pacquiao. You ask me for an interview. I'm not worried about Pacquiao. Pacquiao is going to get what he go coming [to him]," Roger said.
