Terence Crawford Bows Out Of Benavidez Bout: "Size Matters Too Much"

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.
