Getty Images It’s the same story, just louder this time. David Benavidez isn’t backing off, and his latest comments aimed at Canelo Alvarez are easily his most direct yet. In a fresh interview , the unbeaten contender didn’t dance around it.
He questioned Canelo’s willingness to fight him and made it clear he still sees that matchup as unfinished business. “He’s scared, he has no balls. That’s what it is.
I give Canelo all the respect… but I was the #1 contender in two weight classes for a long, long time. ” That tension has been building for years. Benavidez, now 30-0 with 24 knockouts, has consistently been near the top of the super middleweight division.
At one point, he held the WBC interim title and sat as a mandatory challenger, yet the fight never materialized. “He has shown that he doesn’t want to fight me. It’s really a shame because this is a fight everybody wants to see.
