Deontay Wilder Gives Bold Prediction for Potential Canelo Alvarez vs. David Benavidez Fight

The two-time WBC super middleweight champion, David Benavidez, and the former IBF super middleweight titleholder, Caleb Plant, recently gave the super middleweight division one of its biggest fights of the year.

Moreover, Wilder further mentioned that Plant was a tougher opponent for Benavidez. He said, “I think Caleb gave Benavidez more of a challenge than Canelo would give him. I think Canelo is way too small. But who knows? This is boxing. You never know until you know.”
