Although a fight between Benavidez and Alvarez would have been highly anticipated for boxing fans, it now appears as if the two stars will not meet in the ring. <\/p>\n
Not being able to make the fight is seemingly something that has not sat well with Benavidez. In a recent interview with Carl Froch on his YouTube channel<\/a>, Benavidez had harsh words for Alvarez when asked who the biggest ‘****head’ in boxing is. <\/p>\n “There’s a lot of them, but honestly, the first one [that comes to mind is] Canelo. I feel like he’s really full of himself… Not that I dislike him, but I definitely do find him annoying sometimes.”<\/p>\n David Benavidez <\/p>\n Agreeing with Benavidez, Froch said, “Listen, I’m not going to argue with you. You want to call him a ****head, that’s great. I’m standing behind you on that one.”<\/p>\n Benavidez and Froch also discussed the potential fight between ‘The Monster’ and Alvarez. <\/p>\n Froch asked the active fighter if he felt as if Alvarez had avoided him, to which Benavidez replied, “Honestly, I don’t know. I’m not going to sit here and say that he avoided me or not. Let’s just look at the facts: Canelo fights for money. He says he’s never scared of anybody. <\/p>\n “This would have been one of the biggest fights in boxing. It would have been bigger than him and Crawford. It would have been a big paycheck for both of us, and this is a fight that he definitely would have gotten a lot of respect from the people if he went in there and beat me.”<\/p>\n Benavidez said ‘It would be a shame’ if the fight never came to fruition, before saying that if Alvarez believes he can beat him that there’s no reason why he shouldn’t accept the fight. <\/p>\n The Latest Boxing News<\/p>\n Chris Eubank Jr Gives Definitive Update On Father’s Attendance For Conor Benn Rematch<\/a><\/p>\n Oscar De La Hoya Roasts Dana White And TKO Over UFC Gambling Investigation<\/a><\/p>\n Claressa Shields Slams Jake Paul\u2019s Hypocrisy Amid Gervonta Davis Fight Cancellation<\/a><\/p>\n
