David Benavidez has a different view on who is the best boxer of his generation. While many in the boxing world have hailed Terence Crawford as the pinnacle of his era, Benavidez believes there's a stronger case to be made for Oleksandr Usyk. Crawford's remarkable career, which culminated in him becoming a five-weight world champion, is undeniable. However, Benavidez argues that Usyk's achievements are even more impressive. Usyk's back-to-back victories against top contenders in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions, including Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, showcase his dominance. This makes him one of the few fighters to achieve undisputed status in two weight classes. Despite his success, Crawford's retirement at the end of 2025 leaves a gap in the boxing world. Benavidez's upcoming fight against Gilberto Ramirez in Las Vegas in May will further highlight the ongoing debate about who is the best boxer of this generation.
