Undoubtedly, the comments section echoed Team Benavidez’s cries. The digital battlefield lit the burning zeal of boxing aficionados and turned a simple social media post into a rallying cry for the fight that the fans long for. “Benavidez “ Mexican monster “ coming after you! Team Benavidez.” 

Benavidez’s remarkable performance just added gasoline to the already burning fires of fan anticipation. Will Canelo finally take to the ring against Benavidez?

Boxing’s Generational Shift?

For those who watched David Benavidez in a recent showcase against Andrade, they would agree that he is composed much like Canelo Alvarez. The expectations for a match-up with Benavidez are at their peak with Canelo currently holding all the super middleweight titles.

However, rumors still persist that Canelo, who fights top opponents, might be accused of avoidance. The established figure in the sport’s Old Guard at 33 is Canelo, while Benavidez is a new talent ready for the spotlight at age 26. Canelo only suffered a loss to Bivol and Mayweather, which shows that he is a hell of a fighter.
