Fans Demand Canelo Alvarez to Fight David Benavidez Instead of Jermall Charlo as He Shows Off Elite Head Movement in Training

Canelo Alvarez is still without an opponent for his Cinco de Mayo fight. While he is flirting with the idea of fighting Jermall Charlo next, boxing fans have a different name on their minds. The fans want the super middleweight champion to exchange punches with David Benavidez and witness who comes on top in a clash of hard hitters. When the champion hit the gym, the fans flooded the comment section and teased him.

Alvarez last fought Jermell Charlo in September last year and cruised to a victory. Since then, there have been speculations about whom the Mexican champion would meet next. While Benavidez continues to dismantle opponents and maintain his WBC mandatory challenger tag, Alvarez might pick a money fight with a flavor of revenge.

While Alvarez’s head movement is not as sharp as it used to be some years ago, his heavy punches and boxing prowess make up for it. Therefore, when he hit the gym and tried to get in shape for his next fight, the fans seized the perfect opportunity to pull his leg and make a case for ‘The Mexican Monster’.

Fans demand Alvarez face David Benavidez next

A fan called Alvarez’s head movements “nice ducking!”

A user predicted the outcome of the rumored upcoming fight between Alvarez and Jermall Charlo. They wrote, “Looks like a Schooling of Charlo courtesy of Canelo coming soon.”

This user suggested, “If he’s not fighting Benavidez, then all these ain’t necessary.”

Another comment called out Alvarez, “Dodging Benavidez.”

Similarly, a boxing fan demanded, “Just fight Benavidez already [melting face emoji].”

Another user declared, “One of the goats but he is still ducking Benavidez.”

A comment also hinted at a clash with Terence Crawford. They hinted, “He training like he trying to dodge Crawford jab.”

Lastly, this user made a remark, “bro lives in david benavidez head rent free david want that pay day so bad.”

Interestingly, Alvarez had already signed a contract with Jermall Charlo for a showdown last year. However, because of the elder of the Charlo twins’ struggles in personal life, the two couldn’t meet in the squared circle. It seems the time has finally come to fulfill that contract, and David Benavidez might have to wait again.
