Canelo--Why not just fight Benavidez?

[El_Maldito_Rey]

He should be fighting Benavidez, no argument here.

Now that the narrative is that Benavidez is the far superior boxer than all the supposed "black athletic Americans" Canelo was supposedly ducking.

Because he don't want that work.

Good to see that you're agreeing Canelos biggest challenge is a Mexican and NOT the the supposed "black athletic American"

Because he doesn't have to at the moment. Canelo has other options and probably sees Benavidez as an unnecessary risk. Let's see if he fights him before the end of this PBC deal or if/when it's mandated.

Canelo has aged rapidly and his team and himself no longer think he can easily beat Benavedez, basically see him as too big a risk. I didnt think Benevidez looked that great with plant but Canelo has fallen off rapidly, he loooked like crap against a 40 year old GGG, he couldnt stop bum Ryder and now they are matching him with the smaller Charlo brining him up 2 divisions, that is pathetic and they should strip him of his belts, that doesnt count as a bonafide title defense for super middle weight against a 154 pounder.
