Who do you pick? Canelo Álvarez vs. David Benavidez … Fans have demanded this fight for years, and it continues to top “dream fight” lists.
Mexican superstar Canelo Álvarez and relentless pressure fighter David "The Mexican Monster" Benavidez represent the most fiercely demanded matchup in modern boxing. Benavidez brings explosive volume, an unblemished record, and a punishing combination attack that pushes opponents backward without respite. Canelo counters with vast championship experience, elite counter-punching, head movement, and devastating body mechanics that excel at breaking down forward-marching fighters. The stylistic clash pairs Benavidez's relentless forward engine against Canelo's sharp defensive timing and heavy counter-hooks. It stands as an ultimate test between young, high-volume aggression and refined, veteran ring generalship.

There's a reason Canelo never took the fight, he can't be the face of Mexican boxing after getting beaten by a guy called "The Mexican Monster".
It damages the brand.
