Trainer Eddy Reynoso has poured cold water on any lingering hope of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez facing David Benavidez, insisting that the window for the fight has now closed. Despite the demand from fans and Benavidez’s later position as WBC mandatory challenger, the fight never came together. That change in weight appears to have ended any realistic prospect of the long-discussed Canelo fight finally happening. There was a time when that fight could have been made at 168, and it didn’t happen, so it’s done. There is a better chance for Benavidez to fight Oleksandr Usyk than there is to fight Canelo.”
