American boxer Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs), competing in the super lightweight division (up to 63,5 kg), commented on the choice of opponent by the undisputed super middleweight champion (up to 76,2 kg) Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs).
"I don't want to shoot at anyone with my statements right now.
Would I fight Benavidez now? Yes. But that's Canelo's personal business. But yes, I would fight Benavidez now if I were in his shoes," Garcia stated.
It's worth noting that Canelo's next opponent will be Jaime Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs). The confrontation is set for May 4 in Las Vegas. Previously, Saul Alvarez had difficulty deciding on an opponent. While fans were calling for a fight against David Benavidez, Alvarez was choosing between Munguia and Jermall Charlo.
