The boxing experts were right when they said Benavidez is not on Canelo's radar, although Benavidez has earned his right to fight Canelo, when you are on top you have the luxury to fight who you want to fight, this is to protect your status, and this is not right.
Yes, Canelo said that he will not fight another Mexican so there goes our wish to see him and Benavidez in the ring. Also take note that Jermall Charlo is a career middleweight fighter so he has to go up to super middleweight.
He had a big gap in activity because of mental issues on his side, fought Jose Benavidez Jr, as his comeback fight but there's nothing convincing when he beat Jose.
So Canelo is going for less riskier fight for this year, after this he still has one fight left in his contract with PBC. So there will be another guessing game for us.
