Benavidez lost hist title missing weight. If anyone should move up, it's Benavidez. He's in a hard spot, having no title. Charlo should move up to fight a guy without a title? I heard that he's in the running to fight Canelo. There's not a lot of benefit to fighting Benavidez right now for Charlo, except for bragging rights. It's not a big money fight.
Hey, we can agree on that. I'm not saying Charlo needs to fight Benavides, all I'm saying Charlo needs to move up, he's no middleweight anymore. And Benavides needs to move up too, but I think there's a difference here, Charlo has outgrown 160, he's to big, where I think Benavides problem is not training properly or having the right diet, that's leading to his scale issues.
He claims it was due to Covid and the fact he didn’t have access to a gym the entire week before the fight as they had to isolate. Personally I can believe that. He hasn’t failed to make weight before or since and it’s easy to see how that could happen

I don't think it will happen. Even when the big boss in both guys' home network paves the way to it. This is not a real sport. It's a sport that is peppered with fighters that should not have been in it in the first place.
