Canelo explains why he's not taking the fight with Benavides

Saul Alvarez, the outright super middleweight champion of the world, has explained why he won't bow to public pressure and agree to a bout with undefeated David Benavides.

"The truth is that I've always fought the ones they said I supposedly didn't want to fight. I'm in a position that I deserve and I can do whatever I want to do. I'm not going to go along with anyone. People like that are never satisfied with anything. I will do what I want," - quotes Alvarez Los Angeles Times.

Recall, on May 4, Canelo will fight with his compatriot Jaime Munguia.
