Not guess but he should've pick Bivol instead of Beterbiev because Bivol will be his redemption if ever he can rule an upset in the fight, it might be hard for him considering that Canelo just beat him easily but he should endure it and give an upset towards the champion if he still wanted his name to be in the top of this weight class. Fighting against Beterbiev is nonsense because I really don't believe that he a slightest chance against the 3-belt champ. Callum Smith picked an opponent that will end his career much earlier and will add an embarrassment to his existence in the industry, that's for sure.
These are the things that I don't understand in boxing either,for me it should also be Bivol, but I think that this type of decision has a lot to do with the business model that generates more money,if with Beterbiev they generate more, then that is the primary reason.
In these times there are fights that sometimes are not within the normal context , not only this one, there are others that do not make sense to me, but I think that now things are moving much more towards what generates more money, the boxing is now more focused in that direction.
Well, about that, I'm not also sure whether Beterbiev can attract more audience than Bivol or if it is the latter who can attract more versus the 3-belt champ. In Callum Smith's case, I don't think it's all about the money because he can still have it by having few more fights in the future but Callum chose Beterbiev because it's the only way he can redeem himself even if it's a big risks on his career, surely if he can manage to upset Beterbiev, it will open new opportunities on his side although that's not really likely.
Well, I am very inclined towards Bivol because he is a boxer who wants to be a winner, and taking into consideration that he is Russian and that by all means they will try to silence him, I think that this part makes him more famous and fame is what that he wants, and if he gives it to him, he would be fulfilling one of his objectives, the Russian's final objective is to have enough money so that he can have a full life, and I know that boxing can give it to him, he wants belts, he wants fame, all that calls for is money and what better way to do it than with what he knows how to do best, boxing opens the doors to a great life.
I don't think Canelo though is like avoiding him, it is just Benavidez at this point in his career hasn't beaten anyone to deserved a Canelo shot specially at the super middleweight wherein Canelo clean that division already. While Canelo seems to be looking to cement his legacy, Benavidez is climbing and looking for fight that will give him the biggest paycheck.
Benavidez even thinks that he can really beat Canelo at the point of his career that's why he worked hard in getting to where he is now.
He's really aiming for Canelo, and that's what fueled his determination to take down Caleb Plant at the bad and worst situation as possible.
Just less than a day waiting and we will now witness the fight between Benavidez and Plant main event, March 25th.
Benavidez manage to beat Plant via decision, unexpectedly but yes Plant survive the entire rounds but lose the fight in a 3 judges decision all in favor of Benavidez, now it will be a good hypes for this heavy puncher monster to call for Alvarez though we know that it will be a negotiation between two camps and how the promoters will bring the offers to attract both camps to sign a contract.
Congrats to all those bettors who bets and win the main event between Plant vs Benavidez!
Alvarez is too busy, LOL, he had John Ryder in his plate right now and then a Bivol rematch. yes, we want to see Alvarez vs Benadivez, all Mexican brawl but Canelo will not give him that fight for now.
On the other hand, might be good for Benavidez to just continue his reign of terror as co-champion with Alvarez at the WBC body.
Maybe he will have this chance later or next year, just keep a busy year and fight someone in the top 3 of their rankings like Christian Mbilli to proved his case against Alvarez.
Alvarez vs Benavidez will not happen if Alvarez losses to Ryder or Bivol. Benavidez winning against Plant may give a higher possibility for Alvarez-Benavidez fight but as you stated, there is a lot on the plate of Alvarez right now. We might see them fighting after a year or two, probably if Alvarez is able to retain his title.
Of course, the only reason why David Benavidez is interested to Canelo is because the latter got all the belts and it's not a personal vendetta or what that we could somehow say that regardless of the outcome of Canelo's future battle, Benavidez will always want to get his chance but that's not the case. Benavidez is seeking for the belts and whoever got that will surely be chased by him, even if that means chasing Bivol as he already stated recently that he is also eyeing for the WBA champion, Dmitry Bivol.
Everybody wants to get a chance to face a champ, every tough guy aims for the biggest prize to get fame. Canelo is fixed on Bivol though. It's the rematch that he wants.
Fans always want Canelo to fight someone after defeating one but this time he is the one who is asking. If he is going to be defeated by Benavidez, Canelo might not ever have the chance to fight Bivol.
What happens is that Bivol is not very interested in fighting Canelo, he already beat him once, and well, just as Canelo begs Benavidez, well, Bivol also applies it to him, I say something, here the boxers should fight and that's it It doesn't matter who it is against, if they challenge you or want a rematch, you have to give it to them and win them so they see that the first time they beat them it wasn't luck, boxers shouldn't make themselves begged, both Canelo, Benavidez and Bivol are in the same sport, they must respond to its challenges, they should not be forced by a clause.
