Would you say Charlo, Ryder, Yildrim, Munguia and now Berlanga were more “appealing” to Canelo?

Canelo's last fight did 550k
Benavidez's last headliner did 49k & 150k in Davis-Martin
Even if Canelo gave up the WBC, Benavidez would still be in a dead class with no one interested in fighting him.

People were here bashing IBF for essential stripping Usyk, he was forced to vacate the belt for not honouring his mandatory obligation. The same folks don't have the same energy to shame WBC for their corrupt practices for allowing their champions to ignore their mandatory obligation and hold the belt hostage and cherry picking as they wish.
You folks should blame corrupt Suleiman for allowing this rubbish to continue instead of going after Canelo, he's merely making use of WBC lack of integrity. If WBC has integrity like IBF they would have stripped Canelo long time ago and allow David Benavidez and David Morrell fight for it.
Though I doubt DB would like that scenario for he's willing to wait for years for a Canelo payday whereby he's holding the nr 1 spot hostage. So, he's no better than Canelo in that sense.Daniel Skillman likes this.

This is a fair analogy. At this point I also believe Benavidez is chasing a ghost and a dream.
I’ve never seen an outright duck like we’re witnessing with Canelo. He could just acknowledge that he doesn’t think he can win and we move on.
Canelo has given us so many marquee events compared to today's entitled boxers, I don't hold it against him.
I think a lot of us have forgotten what it feels like to get punched in the face.TheWinners
