That's why it's called a voluntary. You're either really really slow, or just being deliberately obtuse here. Every fighter fights who they want to unless there's a title shot obligation involved.
There's no point fighting Benavidez now, because it doesn't get him out of any obligations that are relevant now. Nothing in your fantasy world changes the rules. This thread is full of people who are saying that it counts as a duck because Benavidez is his mandatory. He's not until the WBC comes up again in the rotation. So there's no reason to fight Benavidez. He doesn't get a belt, he doesn't get acclaim in a new division and he doesn't clear a mandatory obligation.
Your "argument" is some fantasy that belts don't matter, which obviously isn't true for Canelo, and that Canelo doesn't fight his mandatories, except that he's done that twice at 168.
When he moved up, people were criticizing him for not staying in middleweight. Now they're saying middleweight is dead. You haters just love to change your stories, because the truth is that facts don't matter to your pretend narrative.
