FLOYD MAYWEATHER alleged Canelo Alvarez 'ducking David Benavidez' and attacked his fight for cruiserweight with Ilunga Makabu.
Canelo was defeated by Mayweather in 2013 and became the undisputed super-middleweight champion.

.
After knocking out Caleb Plant (29), the Mexican submitted a request to the WBC to accept his challenge for Makabu (34).
This would require him to challenge for the world title in his FIFTH Division and face an opponent who is TWO STONE more.
Mayweather, 44 years old, was the last man to beat Canelo. Benavidez (24), is the unbeaten former super-middleweight champion.
Reporters were told by him that he would go to Benavidez if it was up to him. Canelo is a great fighter, but in my opinion, he's not going to see Benavidez.
"That's my opinion, and I'm free to express my thoughts.
"He's going to cruiserweight -- I'm not knocking his -- that same guy at cruiserweight used be at the Mayweather Boxing Gym.

"But when you're put in a position, he, like myself, can pick and choose whom he wants to because i earned that right.
"But, do I like the fight? Absolutely not. We want to see Benavidez. Let's make this happen!"
Canelo won belts at light-middleweight, light-heavyweight and light-middleweight.
His biggest career win was the WBO 175lb title, which he won after beating Sergey Kovalev (39), in November 2019.
However, Canelo quickly moved down to super-middleweight and has since settled in his new weight.
In just eleven months and four fights, the boxing star became undisputed.
