In the high-stakes world of boxing, where every fight is a gamble and fighters must prove their mettle, a single comment can ignite an inferno of opinions. This time, it’s Robert Garcia’s recent suggestion during a FightHub TV interview that has sent shockwaves through the boxing community. The proposed matchup between David Benavidez and Jermall Charlo as a gateway to an undisputed fight against Canelo Alvarez has left fans buzzing with anticipation and questioning the fairness of such a proposition.

As the debate over Charlo’s worthiness to face Canelo intensifies, one can’t help but wonder if this potential face-off would truly separate the wheat from the chaff, or if it’s simply a distraction from the most deserving contenders waiting in the wings.

Fans clash over Charlo’s worthiness for a high-profile matchup

As the dust settles following Robert Garcia‘s comments on a potential Benavidez vs. Charlo fight, fans have taken to Twitter to voice their opinions on whether Charlo has truly earned the right to be considered for such a high-profile matchup. The reactions have been varied, illustrating the passionate nature of boxing enthusiasts and their desire to see the best possible fights materialize.

A user named Daniel Munoz Jr. weighed in, stating, “Charlo has done nothing to earn that right at 168 just yet but maybe a Charlo vs Andrade I wouldn’t mind atm.”

Another user named Alan Hopkins shared a similar sentiment, tweeting, “Charlo is a level below Benavidez and Canelo, if anything Charlo should fight the loser.” 

Meanwhile, one user voiced frustration with the idea of more “semi-finals” fights, commenting, “Ryder didn’t have to do that… enough of these ‘semi-finals’ fights people have to do in order to land a shot with Canelo. It’s time for Canelo to fight Benevidez NOW, Andrade NOW, Charlo NOW…”

Another user named Adam Schmidt took a different approach, arguing that fighters should earn their shot at Canelo: “Yes, they all complain about not getting Canelo but they don’t fight each other for the right to. Bena fighting Plant was a good step; this is the 2nd step to getting Canelo for Bena.”

A user named C_bryson, on the other hand, disagreed with the notion that Benavidez needs to prove himself further, stating, “No, Benavidez doesn’t have to fight anyone else to get Canelo; it’s either he gets it or not, bye.”

Lastly, one user commented, “Nah, Benavidez deserves the next shot at Canelo. He won the interim belt and beat Caleb Plant. Idk what more Benavidez needs to do to get a shot.”

These reactions serve as a testament to the diverse opinions within the boxing community, leaving the future of the super middleweight division shrouded in uncertainty.
