José Benavidez, trainer and father of American boxer David Benavidez, said that absolute super middleweight champion Saúl Álvarez suffers from alcoholism.
David is significantly stronger than Alvarez. Canelo has been competing professionally since he was 16 years old. That means that his body is already exhausted by endless fights and injuries. Besides, the Mexican used to be very disciplined, worked hard in the gym, but now he drinks more and more alcohol. Before, you'd never see Canelo drunk, but it's different now.

Álvarez had his last fight against Gennady Golovkin in September 2022. Saúl won that fight by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 58 wins (39 by KO), two draws and two losses.
Benavidez came to the ring on March 26 against Caleb Plant. That fight lasted the whole distance and ended in David's favor by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 27 wins (23 by knockout) and no losses.
