A fight with Charlo would’ve presented fewer hurdles, but Charlo was so unimpressive against Álvarez that Crawford ripped him on social media before exiting the building. Crawford is the only undisputed champion in two weight classes in the four-belt era. “Whoever,” Álvarez said when asked if he will fight Benavidez next. He declared he was “back” after his most impressive showing since stopping Caleb Plant to become the undisputed champion in November 2021. Whether it’s Crawford, Benavidez or someone else remains to be seen.
