Earlier it became known that the Mexican rejected the offer to fight the American for $ 55 million.
"I'm not going to say that Saul Alvarez is avoiding him, we've seen Saul's record. I can't say he's avoiding anyone at all. But does he want to get in the ring with him? I don't think so.
He has easier fights, but he has an exceptional resume. I think this fight just has to make sense, he wants $150 million or so and Benavides' promoter has said it's realistic. Benavides is one of the best in the sport right now. I like him a lot. And I'd like to see him fight Canelo," BoxingScene quoted Haney as saying.
