Jose Benavidez SLAMS Canelo’s Excuses for Not Fighting David Benavidez
The world of professional boxing has been abuzz recently, with Jose Benavidez voicing his discontent on Canelo Alvarez’s reasons for not fighting his younger brother, David Benavidez. Jose’s outspoken disapproval has shed light on the ongoing controversy of unwarranted excuse-making in the sporting world.
Canelo Alvarez, a four-division world champion, known for his mighty punches and steel endurance, has always been a formidable figure in the boxing ring. Yet, he’s faced serious criticism for not agreeing to a fight with David Benavidez, the former WBC Super Middleweight Champion.
Jose Benavidez’s criticism of Canelo Alvarez is straightforward and scathing. In numerous interviews, he’s argued that Canelo is strategically avoiding his younger brother, a claim that has stirred fiery debates among boxing enthusiasts worldwide.
Jose’s critique of Canelo’s actions is not without basis. David Benavidez has a fantastic track record in the boxing ring. He’s a fighter known for his relentless tenacity and powerful strikes. The lack of a match between him and Alvarez has left many fans longing for a showdown.
Jose’s main gripe with Canelo is the stream of ‘excuses’ coming from Alvarez’s camp. A common reason given by Team Canelo for not fighting David is his lack of a world title. Sympathizers of Alvarez argue that without a title, a fight between Canelo and David would be a no-win situation for the Mexican superstar.
However, Jose Benavidez has hit back at this excuse. He pointed out that Alvarez had fought other boxers without titles before, making this argument invalid. It gives the impression that Alvarez is cherry-picking his adversaries to avoid confrontations with young, dynamic fighters such as David Benavidez.
Canelo’s inaction against younger potential opponents and refusal to fight David Benavidez has fuelled Jose’s anger. Upon further review, it appears that the ‘excuses’ argument doesn’t hold water—instead, it seems there may be intentional evasiveness at play.
Jose Benavidez goes off on Canelo Alvarez, stating that Alvarez should prove himself by fighting David. Jose notes that Alvarez has had a claim at the best pound-for-pound title, and taking a fight against younger, potent opponents would be the next natural step for him.
While the boxing community continues to follow this controversy closely, it’s clear that this disagreement reflects broader issues in the sport, such as the strategies employed by fighters and their teams to manoeuvre around confrontations they deem unfavorable.
However, it should be understood that competitiveness and the desire for supremacy are fundamental elements of any sport. They are as deeply woven into the fabric of boxing as they are into any other competitive field. Fans, therefore, have the right to expect that top-tier boxers like Canelo Alvarez would be ready and willing to take up challenges against rivals like David Benavidez.
Defending his brother, Jose Benavidez has taken a stern stand against the non-confrontational approach of certain boxing figures. This debate around excuses versus legitimacy not only outs the underlying issues plaguing professional sport but also calls for more transparency from boxing stalwarts.
Whether or not Canelo Alvarez will ever face David Benavidez in the ring remains uncertain. However, one thing remains clear – this controversy has drawn major attention to the strategic machinations and unsaid politics of professional boxing.
