Saúl Álvarez seems to have its next challenge already defined. Ilunga Makabu would be the next rival of “Canelo” . Faced with this possibility, the father of David Benavidez questioned this decision by suggesting that the fighter from Guadalajara would have some fear to take on the fight . However, Eddy Reynoso explained the reasons why they will not accept the fight.

There is no way (for Canelo) to fight Benavidez anytime soon. Great boxers are those who beat champions. I think Benavidez is a great fighter, but at that point for me he has not achieved what people think ”, Stated Reynoso in an interview for Fox Deportes, compiled by the Izquierdazo .

“The Red Flag” comes from defeating Kyrone Davis by knockout. Although many consider that Benavidez is the only boxer who can beat Saúl Álvarez , Eddy Reynoso question his present.

“My respects to him, but see how many world champions has he beaten, how many title defenses did he make, how many unifications did he complete . We are going to look for the challenges, we are going to look for the champions and we are going to look for what is best for Saúl’s career and if the fight with Benavidez comes, then it will be welcome. It’s boxing and it’s business ”, he concluded.

For now, Canelo’s environment seems to be focused on setting up the fight of Saúl Álvarez against Ilunga Makabu. The rise to the cruiserweight of the Mexican seems to be the challenge that Eddy Reynoso has proposed for his fighter and under these circumstances, David Benavidez will have to continue waiting for his moment or, given the requests, achieve great achievements to seduce the eyes of the Canelo Team.
