David Benavidez likely facing Callum Smith next — solid fight, but you’ve gotta feel for him. He wanted Bivol, but has to wait due to the Bivol-Beterbiev trilogy. Canelo avoided him at 168 too. Benavidez has always chased the best. Rare in today’s boxing. #Boxing

i genuinely feel like if he didn’t get stripped in 2020 then that would have enticed canelo to fight em… and i think bivol would have fought em but ofc he gotta do what turki say 🤣

Even if he didn’t get stripped in 2020 like after he beat plant Canelo should have fought him. The WBC stripped Bivol straight away but not Canelo and didn’t even try to force it corruption at its finest

He fought on feb 1, almost 5 months ago. He teased a Zurdo fight at cruiser, called out Opetaia, then said Turki wants him vs Canelo. Also regularly mentions Callum Smith or Yarde (both fell short at elite level) but oh wait, forgets to mention the Russians, how convenient lmao

Bc he knows that they are fighting a trilogy he will fight them after the trilogy hopefully

David vs Smith should have happened before Canelo even went to 168. Better late than never

I don’t feel for his impatient ass the entire world knew Turki was doing a trilogy he should have followed Turkis plan and fought Smith on the undercard of the trilogy and fought the winner but he chooses to bitch about it and end up still doing exactly what Turki told his ass to do

canelo didn't have the balls to fight him and now he has to go up to lightheavyweight and will lose to canelo and bivol all bc canelo is a pussy

benavidez did himself zero favors getting stripped not once, But twice

Do you feel Beterbiev is scared to fight Benavidez?

Benavidez been fighting the best in his recent fights. Hopefully he does get the winner of the trilogy and the IBF doesn't enforce a mandatory or something
