Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez has undeniably become the face of boxing. With an impressive resume and a string of victories against top contenders, he has cemented himself as of the all-time greats. Despite his resume, there is one fight that many fans have wanted to see, a clash between him and interim champion David Benavidez. ‘The ‘Monster’s’ impressive record and fighting style made him a compelling contender for ‘Saul’. However, negotiations between the two camps ultimately fell through, leaving fans disappointed.

It was reported that Alvarez rejected a lucrative $50 million offer from his fellow countryman, thereby dashing hopes of witnessing this highly anticipated showdown. With this fight off the table, Alvarez has now turned his attention to undisputed light-middleweight champion Jermell Charlo. This fight will be the Mexican’s first one of his multimillion-dollar three-fight deal with PBC.

In recent times, Canelo Alvarez made headlines not just for his boxing prowess, but also for his display of luxury. He showcased his extravagant lifestyle by flaunting his BMW, a symbol of his success and opulence.

A user claimed that Alvarez was the reason why Benavidez’s resume looked so weak. “It’s Canelo’s fault Benavidez’s resume sucks,” he wrote.

Another user named Francisco also urged ‘Saul’ not to duck his fellow countryman. “Stop Ducking Benavidez,” he wrote.

However, one user hailed Alvarez as, “The king of boxing.”

A user named Mane Martinez stated that Alvarez fighting Benavidez would lead them to run out of money. “Canelo don’t give payday to the Benavides, so they run out of money.” he wrote.

Lastly, a user made quite the comparison between Alvarez and his brand-new BMV. “In this image we see 2 things: a beast, with a lot of power, agility in curves, speed and strength, the best of the best and next to a BMW M,” he wrote.
