Benavidez bullied, blitzed and battered "Zurdo" with blistering hand speed and scored a sixth-round stoppage win to capture the WBA and WBO cruiserweight crowns during his division debut.

After the bout, Benavidez (32-0, 26 KOs) surveyed a series of options, including fights against Jai Opetaia, Dmitry Bivol, and Canelo Alvarez.

Benavidez’s father and trainer, Jose Sr., further fanned the flames toward Alvarez, advising him not to take the fight for the sake of his own health.

“He's going to end up in the hospital if he fights David Benavidez,” Benavidez Sr. told reporters after the fight.

“David is too strong and too big for him. Canelo is a little guy. He doesn't have the power, no more reflexes and the speed is not there. And I know that they know that. That's why they don't want to face the Mexican Monster. We've been talking a lot of s—t but we have been backing up our s—t.”

Alvarez was in attendance Saturday and sat ringside but only to watch former rival-turned-teammate Jaime Munguia beat Armando Resendiz for the WBA super middleweight title. Once the fight was over, Alvarez left the building.

But not before being booed by Benavidez’s supporters.

After beating Ramirez, Benavidez, 29, took the mic and lobbed yet another challenge toward the soon-to-be 36-year-old Alvarez.

“I’ve seen Canelo in the building. Let me just ask the fans this: Do you guys want to see Canelo vs. David Benavidez?” Benavidez said as the fans roared in approval. “Enough said. We can’t leave that fight on the table. I have respect for Canelo, who is a great champion, but I’m a great champion, too. Let’s do it … I’m still [the WBC] champion at 175. I’m a champion at 200. So, if they want to come get it at 175, let’s get it at 175.”

Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs) is next supposed to face WBC super middleweight champion Christian Mbilli on September 12 in Saudi Arabia as part of a “Mexico vs. The World” show and plans to stay at 168 pounds for the foreseeable future.

“Canelo should keep doing what he's doing,” said Benavidez Sr. “At the end of the day, he sells and entertains. But I wouldn't call him a pound-for-pound or elite fighter. He's not there no more. He will never face David, at the end of the day.”

Benavidez Sr. then zeroed in on their next desired challenge.

“I hope Bivol doesn't give up his belts like he let go of his WBC belt instead of fighting David,” said Benavidez Sr. “He's a great fighter, and a dangerous fighter. Bivol would be a tough fight, but we want to make it happen. It's time to make the fight.”
