Terence Crawford has decided against the possibility of stepping into the ring with David Benavidez. After claiming the undisputed super middleweight title by taking down Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in September 2025, Crawford sees size as a deal-breaker when it comes to facing Benavidez.
Benavidez, who stands at around six feet tall and likely falls in the 190-200 pounds range, presents a challenge that Crawford finds impractical. After moving up two divisions to shine against Canelo, Crawford acknowledges the significant size and strength advantage that Benavidez holds over him. As a result, he's firm on dismissing any chance of this bout happening.
The boxing world remains fascinated by Crawford's journey through weight classes to reach his current standing at super middleweight. While fans might have fantasized about a clash between him and Benavidez, practicality reigns for now in Crawford's decision-making process.
