The boxing world has been desperate to see Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez take on David Benavidez but a series of events has meant their paths have not yet crossed, but many think that series of events has been created by Canelo as he would rather fight weaker opponents.
As far as former four-division world champion, Jones thinks that Canelo has been merely waiting for the right time to maximize a fight that so many people would like to see.
Jones Jr. is not so sure
"There's a real risk there for him in taking the fight," Jones told Fight Hub TV. "I mean, of course, he's like any other champion. He wants to make you guys salivate what y'all want to make or pay for, which is smart.
"I don't think he's scared of Benavidez, but Benavidez is a tough order for anybody right now, especially if you're at the top of your game because he's very busy.
"He's big. He's effective. He's aggressive. All the things you don't want in a fighter, David's gonna be there as that opponent. You get me? So, everything you don't wanna see in your opponent, David's gonna be there as his. Now does that mean they can't beat David? No. But he wants to make sure that he makes you guys wait and ask and beg long enough that y'all won't pay for it, then he'll take his chance because he knows too that it is a risky chance he's taking.
"Now, he ain't gonna say what the heck he is, but he should be a tad bit hungrier than Canelo for that spot. You know what I'm saying? Canelo was in that spot. David wants that spot. So, it should be the hungry guy who has to be careful because Canelo can punch."
