贝纳维德斯也怀疑阿尔瓦雷斯是否会面对他

即使他成为他的法定对手，贝纳维德斯也怀疑阿尔瓦雷斯是否会面对他:“他有空出头衔的历史。”

大卫·贝纳维德斯并不声称自己什么都知道，然而，他相信他知道自己的未来最终会如何发展。

目前，前WBC超级中量级腰带持有者正在他的酒店房间耐心地看钟，他等待他即将到来的对决与边缘竞争者罗纳德埃利斯最终到达，这将是他自去年年底失去他的冠军头衔以来的第一次战斗。这两个是预定在主要事件插槽在Mohegan太阳赌场，在Uncasville，康涅狄格。

对于这位24岁的拳手来说，本周六晚上的胜利是意料之中的。但是和现任曼联冠军卡内罗·阿尔瓦雷斯的比赛也是如此。

贝纳维德兹在最近接受Fight Hub TV采访时说:“我知道我将成为无可争议的冠军。”“我知道我将是那个击败卡内罗的人。我只是在等待机会。”

随着他与埃利斯的摊牌上升到WBC世界冠军的淘汰者，贝纳维兹(23-0,20个ko)可以向与阿尔瓦雷斯的比赛走近一步。

理论上，是的，但实际上，贝纳维德斯并不这么认为。

“他有一段为了不直面对抗强制性对手而让出头衔的历史。他知道我是个威胁。”

在很多情况下，阿尔瓦雷斯实际上，已经放弃了他的世界冠军头衔。2016年，两级世界冠军安德拉德(Demetrius Andrade)声称，当阿尔瓦雷斯坐在墨西哥人WBO Jr中量级世界冠军的强制位置上时，他避免了与他摊牌。事实上，阿尔瓦雷斯将放弃他的冠军头衔，转而选择与体重164磅的小胡里奥·塞萨尔·查韦斯(Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.)进行比赛。四个月后，阿尔瓦雷斯向根纳迪·戈洛夫金发起挑战。

同样，WBC目前的中量级冠军杰马尔·查罗也分享了类似的故事。

阿尔瓦雷斯在2019年成功地统一了他的WBC和WBA中量级头衔，获得了当时的冠军丹尼尔·雅各布斯(Daniel Jacobs)的IBF桂冠。

然而，阿尔瓦雷斯将会被WBC主席毛里西奥·苏莱曼夺走他的头衔，取而代之的是“特权”的标签。一个新的，仍然令人困惑的术语。

在这些情况下，阿尔瓦雷斯选择了另一个方向，但在被强制挑战者阿夫尼·耶尔德勒姆(Avni Yildirim)的情况下，这位身强力强的明星面对土耳其人的产品时，迅速采取了行动，在几周前的三轮比赛中就停了下来。

在大多数情况下，拳迷们都对耶尔德勒姆被选为必须的挑战者感到愤怒，因为即使他在两年多前与安东尼·德雷尔的比赛中被击败，他仍然保持着这个位置。不过，对贝纳维德斯来说，他并没有被整个折磨所困扰。

在他看来，伊尔德勒姆最好是把口袋里装满大量的现金，而不是以不到一半的工资接受同样的打击。

“我觉得我绝对配得上和卡内洛的比赛，但如果你仔细看看，耶尔德勒姆是必须的，因为他在两年前输给了安东尼·迪雷尔。”我真的没有意见。我觉得卡内洛只是想保持活力，这可能是他最容易的比赛。

“耶尔德勒姆，说到底，每个战士都应该得到报酬。我觉得如果我要和耶尔德勒姆决斗，我肯定会轻易地把他击倒。至少现在他因为被击倒而赚了更多的钱。”

目前的情况是，阿尔瓦雷斯的整个比赛日历(55- 2,37个ko)今年全部被预订了。5月8日，他将迎战WBO的腰带持有者比利·乔·桑德斯。如果他获得了胜利，他的目标将是与IBF冠军Caleb Plant进行一场无可争议的对决。

阿尔瓦雷斯从来没有提到过对贝纳维德斯的可能性。虽然大多数人可能认为这是一种轻视，但这位24岁的歌手却认为这是一种赞美。虽然贝纳维德斯不相信阿尔瓦雷斯会承认这一点，但他坚信阿尔瓦雷斯内心深处知道他有多危险。

“尽管他们想说我没有经验，我的体重也有问题，但最终，他们并没有采取行动。他们一直把我留在最后，因为我是最坚强的。如果我是这么容易被攻击的目标，那他早把我的WBC冠军夺走了。”

David Benavidez doesn’t claim to know everything, however, he does believe he knows how his future will ultimately unfold.

Currently, the former WBC super-middleweight belt holder is patiently watching the clock in his hotel room as he waits for his upcoming showdown against fringe contender Ronald Ellis to finally arrive in what would be his first fight since losing his title on the scales late last year. The two are slated to face off in the main event slot at the Mohegan Sun Casino, in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Picking up the win this Saturday night is a foregone conclusion to the 24-year-old. But so is a matchup with current unified champion Canelo Alvarez.

“I know I’m going to be the undisputed champion,” said Benavidez during a recent interview with Fight Hub TV. “I know I’m going to be the one to beat Canelo. I’m just waiting for the opportunity.”

With his showdown against Ellis elevated to a WBC world title eliminator, Benavidez (23-0, 20 KOs) could move one step closer to a matchup with Alvarez.

Well, in theory, yes, but in actuality, Benavidez doesn’t believe so.

“He has a history of vacating titles when he’s meant to fight a strong mandatory. He knows that I’m a threat.”

On numerous occasions, Alvarez has in actuality, vacated his world title. In 2016, two-division world champion Demetrius Andrade claimed that Alvarez avoided a showdown with him when he sat in the mandatory position for the Mexican native’s WBO Jr middleweight world title. Alvarez would, in fact, go on to drop his championship and instead, elected to take on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at a catchweight of 164 pounds. Four months later, Alvarez would then challenge Gennadiy Golovkin.

Similarly enough, current WBC middleweight titlist Jermall Charlo has shared a similar story.

Shortly after Alvarez successfully unified his WBC and WBA middleweight titles by taking the IBF crown held by then-champion Daniel Jacobs in 2019, Charlo called for his chance as he held the WBC interim crown.

Alvarez though, would have his title taken away from him by WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman and instead, replaced with the “Franchise,” tag instead. A new and still confusing term.

In those instances, Alvarez elected to go in another direction but in the case of mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim, the pound-for-pound star faced the Turkish product and made quick work of him, stopping in three rounds just a few weeks ago.

For the most part, fans fulminated over the selection of Yildirim as the mandatory challenger as he held that position even after he was defeated in his most recent fight against Anthony Dirrell more than two years ago. Still, for Benavidez, he wasn’t bothered by the entire ordeal.

The way he see’s it, Yildirim was better off stuffing his pockets with large sums of cash rather than receiving the same sort of beating at his hands for less than half the pay.

“I feel like I definitely deserved the mandatory spot to fight Canelo but if you look at it, Yildirim was mandatory since he lost to Anthony Dirrell two years ago. I really don’t have a problem with that. I feel like Canelo just wanted to stay active and that was probably the easiest fight available to him.

“Yildirim, at the end of the day, every fighter deserves to get paid. I feel like if I was going to fight Yildirim I would’ve knocked him out easily. At least now he made more money for getting knocked out.”

As it currently stands, the entire fight calendar of Alvarez (55-1-2, 37 KOs) this year is completely booked. On May 8th, he is set to take on WBO belt holder Billy Joe Saunders. Should he pick up the win, his goal would be to then move on to an undisputed showdown against IBF titlist Caleb Plant.

At no point has Alvarez mentioned the possibility of taking on Benavidez. But while most might take that as a slight, the 24-year-old views it as a compliment. Although he doesn’t believe team Alvarez would admit it, Benavidez is firmly under the belief that they know deep down inside just how dangerous he is.

“As much as they want to say that I don’t have experience and I have problems with the weight, at the end of the day, they haven’t taken the fight. They’ve been leaving me for last because I’m the hardest out of the bunch. If I was such an easy target, he would’ve taken my WBC title back then.”
