Will Canelo Alvarez fight David Benavidez after the Munguia fight?

The world of boxing is abuzz with speculation after Canelo Álvarez’s dominant victory over Jaime Munguía. The Mexican superstar, widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters, left no doubt about his abilities in the ring.

Canelo’s confidence is at an all-time high. Following his win over Munguía, Canelo expressed self-assuredness in the ring, declaring, “I’m the best fighter right now for sure” in the pound-for-pound hierarchy. That’s why fans are still wondering why he hasn’t accepted the challenge by David Benavidez. This is the fight everyone has been expecting for years now.

Why hasn’t Canelo accepted to fight Benavidez?

The post-fight exchange between Canelo and Benavidez added fuel to the fire. Benavidez, always outspoken, wasted no time calling out the Mexican superstar. Their back-and-forth banter on social media intensified the speculation. Fans salivate at the prospect of these two warriors facing off.

Canelo’s demand for a whopping $200 million to fight Benavidez raised eyebrows. While it’s a staggering figure, it underscores the magnitude of this potential matchup. Canelo knows his worth, and he’s not willing to settle for less, or he is asking for something that seems a bit crazy since he knows that it would be very difficult for a promoter to put so much money into this fight.

Canelo vs. Benavidez would be a clash of styles, personalities, and legacies. Whether it happens next or down the road, boxing enthusiasts can’t help but dream of this super middleweight collision. One thing is certain: if these two warriors step into the ring, fireworks are guaranteed.
