The boxing world currently has many great stars. Canelo Alvarez remains arguably the biggest star in the sport. The Mexican has beaten almost everyone in the ring throughout his career, which propelled him to superstar status. While Alvarez is still looking for his next opponent in the ring, his former promoter has made a controversial remark about the boxer.

Oscar De La Hoya made a massive claim recently, which might not go well with the Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez.

“You Are Afraid of David Benavidez”

Mexican promoter Oscar De La Hoya was one of the best pound-for-pound boxers. He previously represented Canelo Alvarez in the boxing scene, but the duo went separate ways as they got into a massive legal battle. Recently, Oscar De La Hoya made a massive claim against Alvarez. He said,

You’re afraid of David Benavidez.

Oscar De La Hoya claimed that Canelo is afraid of David Benavidez, one of the possible contenders for the Mexican fighter. The former world champion and Hall of Famer even claimed that he made Jamie Munguia a ton of money because he fears David.

Alvarez has yet to respond to the accusations, and it will be interesting to see what the future Hall of Famer has to say. One thing is certain: boxing fans will love seeing Canelo Alvarez face David Benavidez in the ring and emerge victorious.
