David Benavidez’s promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, has received disappointing news that Canelo Alvarez has no plans to fight Benavidez in 2024. Lewkowicz is furious about this decision and believes it will tarnish Canelo’s legacy. He thinks future generations will question why Canelo didn’t face Benavidez, as it is considered the best fight. However, it is time for Benavidez to accept this reality and move on. There are no opportunities for him to fight Alvarez, so he should consider moving up to cruiserweight. It is surprising that Benavidez held onto hope for so long, as it was clear that Canelo had no intention of fighting him. Benavidez should not waste any more time at 168 and should focus on his career at cruiserweight. Despite the missed opportunity to fight Canelo, it is important for Benavidez to make the most of his potential and learn from this experience. At 27 years old, he still has time to have a successful career in the cruiserweight division.
