Although this means that the door is still open to anybody, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-canelo-alvarez-team-answers-to-david-benavidez-dirty-talk-20211229-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Benavidez</a>‘s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-oscar-de-la-hoya-grand-gesture-to-julio-cesar-chavez-in-the-munguia-vs-ballard-weigh-in-20220218-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> team does not believe it and dares to point out the one they think is the guilty one for Alvarez avoiding them.
There are just two roads for Canelo to choose to continue with his brilliant career so far: Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn‘s or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-is-at-a-crossroads-ahead-of-his-may-fight-due-to-pbc-improved-two-fight-offer-20220217-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Haymon’s PBC</a>. Both are lucrative, commercially attractive, and include a two-fight deal against top-class opponents.
The one coming from Hearn, and according to the most rumors and reports the front-runner, will represent an $85 million guaranteed earnfor <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/canelo-alvarez-incredible-punching-power-he-has-knocked-out-the-super-bowl-lvi-20220216-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo</a> to fight <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-the-fights-that-canelo-alvarez-would-cause-if-he-decides-to-accept-eddie-hearn-two-bout-deal-20220210-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dmitry Bivol and Gennady Golovkin</a>. Al Haymon’s proposal includes $100 million and clashes with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-jermall-charlo-and-the-legal-trouble-that-could-prevent-him-to-fight-canelo-alvarez-in-may-20220211-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jermall Charlo</a> and David Benavidez.
<h2>The one that is causing Canelo Alvarez to avoid David Benavidez</h2>
In an interview with Tha Boxing Voice, Sampson Lekowicz, David Benavidez’s promoter, said that Canelo Alvarez does want to fight his fighter but it is lifelong Alvarez’s trainer, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-trainer-may-already-have-picked-an-opponent-for-his-pupil-next-fight-in-may-20220201-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eddy Reynoso</a>, the one who wants to keep duckingthe Bandera Rojaas long as possible.
“I don’t usually talk about Canelo because I feel that will never get that fight, but the time has come and we think Canelo is not the one who fears David but his corner. The main difference is in his corner, especially his trainer. Eddy Reynoso wants to protect him the most from this fight“, stated Lekowicz.
Furthermore, David Benavidez’s promoter shared that his boxer hadeven accepted to reduce his salary to make the fight against Canelo Alvarez possible: “David accepted to reduce his salary. He is not looking for the payday, he wants the opportunity to fight for the title. He would not fight for free, that is sure, but he would do it for the half or less.”
<h2>Canelo Alvarez reaction to the statements of himducking fighters</h2>
Alvarez is used to always hearing voices that demerit his achievements in boxing. Even though he says he does not care about them, he used again his social media to share his position about the statements pointing out he is always ducking rivals.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/canelo-alvarez-incredible-punching-power-he-has-knocked-out-the-super-bowl-lvi-20220216-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo Alvarez</a> is experiencing the implications of being the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">current best Pound for Pound</a> boxer. It is easy to understand that every promoter would love to work with him and will make the best of his efforts to accomplish it. Nowadays, Alvarez is at a crossroads to pick his next opponent as Al Haymon’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/Upcoming-boxing-fights-for-the-first-3-months-of-2022-confirmed-by-Eddie-Hearn-and-other-promoters-20220107-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PBC</a> improved the offer that made him before.
Originally, and according to ESPN‘s Mike Coppinger,Alvarez was almost accepting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-fans-could-lose-devin-haney-vs-george-kambosos-jr-fight-for-an-insulting-behavior-of-a-promoter-20220212-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eddie Hearn‘s two-fight offer</a>. This one involved an $85 million guaranteed earning for the Mexican superstar, and also a spectacular boxing plan for him not only including his May fight but also the one of September.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-the-fights-that-canelo-alvarez-would-cause-if-he-decides-to-accept-eddie-hearn-two-bout-deal-20220210-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hearn planned to clash Canelo Alvarez</a> and Russian Light heavyweight titlist Dmitry Bivol first, and then, if the victory goddess embraces the Red-haired, consolidate a trilogy against Alvarez’s bitter rival, Gennady Golovkin, if the IBF Middleweight Champion outdoes Ryota Murata in their rescheduled bout in Japan.
<h2>PBC’s improved two-fight offer to Canelo Alvarez</h2>
According to the awarded boxing journalistDan Rafael, Canelo Alvarez is reconsidering working along with PBC. Firstly, Al Haymon’s promotional company offered the Undisputed World Super middleweight Champion a one-fight deal to clash against theWBC Middleweight titlist <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-jermall-charlo-and-the-legal-trouble-that-could-prevent-him-to-fight-canelo-alvarez-in-may-20220211-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jermall Charlo</a> in the 168 pounds.
However, watching how they were losing Canelo due to Eddie Hearn’s offer, PBC improved his deal: not only fighting Charlo in May but adding in September the likely hardest challenge for the Mexican Champion at the Super middleweight: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-canelo-alvarez-team-answers-to-david-benavidez-dirty-talk-20211229-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Benavidez</a>.

Al Haymon’s offer brings Alvarez the possibility of really sweeping the 168 pounds weight class.

On the other hand, David Benavidez (25-0-0, 22 KOs)became the youngest World belt holder of the Super middleweight division, a title he has held and lost twice, both outside the ring (weight problems and consumption of illegal substances). TheBandera Rojais currently 25 years old.

Boxing: Canelo Alvarez is at a crossroads ahead of his May fight due to PBC's improved two-fight offer

Boxing: Canelo Alvarez is at a crossroads ahead of his May fight due to PBC's improved two-fight offer - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-canelo-next-super-middleweight-opponent-could-emerge-from-this-fight-20211217-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Benavidez</a> has chosen to start a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/top-25-most-impressive-boxing-records-20210616-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> declaration war to draw <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-canelo-alvarez-legend-is-bigger-than-chavez-roberto-duran-20211228-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo</a>‘s attention. The Mexican-American fighter desperately wants a chance to recover the World titlehe had twice, and never lost in the ring. Nevertheless, he might need to change his strategy.
The dad ofel Bandera Roja, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-is-canelo-afraid-of-fighting-david-benavidez-20211228-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jose Benavidez, recently said that the current Pound for Pound king was afraid</a> of fighting his son, and discredited the spectacular 2021 Canelo had, because, in his point of view, he has just beaten <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/how-much-money-will-canelo-alvarez-earn-for-his-fight-against-caleb-plant-20211103-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“the old Champions”</a> of the Super middleweight division.
At least, the team Benavidez got one of their goals: an answer from Alvarez’s camp. This came directly from Eddy Reynoso, the long life coach and since 2020 manager of Saul, but, unfortunately, it was not at all positive for them.
<h3>The answer from Canelo Alvarez’s trainer to David Benavidez dirty talk</h3>
In an interview for TUDN, Eddy Reynoso shared the boxing value that David Benavidez has for Canelo Alvarez and his team, and, thus, the probability the Mexican American fighter has to share the ring soon with his pupil.
“Considering his record, he has fought and defeated meaningless boxers. His career highlight has been Anthony Dirrell so far, that was a dull champion and just has made a mediocre career on the Super middleweight division“.
Considering this argument, Reynoso said if Benavidez has a chance to fight Canelo: “Benavidez has a reputation based on his power, and his punching frequency, that is why everybody says he might be the toughest fight for Saul, but for us is a not worthy fight, it would give us nothing back. He has just fought C rivals“.
So, if David Benavidez is out of Alvarez radar, who is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-canelo-alvarez-and-his-road-to-glory-on-2022-20211216-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Mexican Superstar interested in as a rival for 2022</a>? Eddy mentioned a few names that are interesting for Canelo: “As World Undisputed Champions, we have to go for the best fights, boxers with titles that can create great expectations such as Jermall Charlo or even Gennady Golovkin“.

Boxing: Canelo Alvarez's team answers to David Benavidez's dirty talk - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-canelo-alvarez-and-his-road-to-glory-on-2022-20211216-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saul Canelo Alvarez</a> is the main face of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-fighters-who-have-won-world-titles-in-five-different-weight-classes-20211217-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> right now, and everybody wants to share the ring with him. That is clear. He has the power of polarizing the opinion: s<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/boxing-canelo-generosity-pampers-his-fans-20211218-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ome oneslove him</a>unconditionally and others are never satisfied with his actions and decisions. David Benavidez‘s camp, for example.
The Mexican star conquered the Super middleweight division in just one year: he defeated Callum Smith in 2020, and Avni Yildirim, Billy Joe Saunders, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/how-much-money-will-canelo-alvarez-earn-for-his-fight-against-caleb-plant-20211103-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">and Caleb Plant in 2021</a>. The World’s four top belts of the 168 lbs are in his waist, but, there may be missing one last fight againstel Bandera Rojato really clean up the division.
Ironically, David Benavidez, 25-0-0 (22 KO’s), is the champ that Canelo has never defeated. The Mexican-American fighter has lost twice the WBC World Super middleweight title but never in the ring. That’s why his camp, specifically his father and coach Jose Benavidez, claim that he deserves a shot against Alvarez. The dirty talk has just begun.
<h2>What has Jose Benavidez said about Canelo Alvarez?</h2>
In an interview with YSM Sports Media,David Benavidez’s father stated that the Pound for Pound king decision of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-canelo-receives-an-astonishing-surprise-from-his-manager-20211218-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">searching the WBC World Crusierweight title against Ilunga Makabu</a> in May, is proof that Canelo is ducking his son.
“They say David doesn’t bring anything to the table, so what does that tell you? They’re running and they’re scared to fight David Benavidez; it’s a dangerous fight for them and they don’t want to accept that challenge“said Benavidez Sr as a reaction to Alvarez past statement that pointed David as a meaningless challenge for him right now.
Also, to light the fire even more, Jose Benavidez shared that Canelo has taken the belts ofChampions that were not on the peak of their careers: “You know, he faced the Champions that were old“, stated. To add some context to the situation, Smith, Saunders, and Plant were 30, 32, and 29 years old when Alvarez defeated them.

WBC has ordered a clash between David Benavidez and David Lemieux for the World Super middleweight interim title.Furthermore the fact of winning a (minor) title, the reward that will get the victorof fight is the presumable chance to challenge Alvarez for the major belt of the division.
With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/how-much-money-will-canelo-alvarez-earn-for-his-fight-against-caleb-plant-20211103-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexican Pound for Pound king</a> focused on making history as the sixth boxer to be a 5 division World Champion, it was natural, and fair, that the organization leaded by Mauricio Sulaiman let Benavidez and Lemieux fight for the chance of sharing the ring with Canelo.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-91"> </div>
</div>
<h2>Who is contending to be Canelo’s next rivalin the Super middleweight division?</h2>
The fight for a ticket to challenge Alvarez will be starred by David Benavidez and David Lemieux. The official date and venue for the clash is not announced yet, but according to ESPN’S reporter Mike Coppinger, it could probably happen at Phoenix, Arizona, on the 2022 spring.
Benavidez, 25years, 25-0-0 (22 KOs), is a Mexican-American former Super middleweight Champion of the World. In fact, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/top-25-most-impressive-boxing-records-20210616-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he has held and lost that honour twice</a>, but never in the ring. The first time, in 2017, he was stripped due to a positive test for cocaine; the second one, he lost the battle against the scale on August 2020. He is the number one contender in the WBC ranking.
Lemieux (Montreal, Canada, 1988) was also a Champion in the past: he conquered the IBF World Middleweight title on 2015, but lost it inmediately against Gennadiy Golovkin. He has jumped into the Super middleweight category on 2019. Ever since, he has held and won 3 fights against minor rivals.
