Benavidez doesn’t hold back in the nearly hour-long discussion and he touches on a wide range of subjects including these highlights:
On the upcoming fight:
“There’s a lot of animosity in this fight. I don’t like David Morrell and he don’t like me.”
On Canelo avoiding him:
“If he says he can beat me why not come beat me and make the biggest bank possible?”
On fighting tough fights and staying busy:
“I want to give myself the hardest fights I could possibly give myself because I want to get myself in the head space where I’m used to that.”
On his career goals:
“I’m just trying to reach greatness, and I really want to be the best fighter, by the time I’m done, in my era. I want to be the best of my generation.”
