It's physical, recovery, and then mental for just watching the boxing.

And then also a mental game when my kids are there at the house crying, you being annoying.

So it's a full day of work.

It's a full day of work.

David Benavidez Says Canelo Passed Him The Torch: “It’s My Era Now, I’m the Face of Boxing”

Yeah, I sparred Gennady Golovkin when I was a little kid.

I think I was...

David Benavidez Says Canelo Passed Him The Torch: “It’s My Era Now, I’m the Face of Boxing”

Out of every fighter, I probably would want to fight Gennady Golovkin.

That would be a great fight only because of what Gennady Golovkin represented.

Yeah.

So I think that would be my all-time dream fight, me versus Gennady Golovkin.

It was a sick-ass fight.

It was, because I sparred him a lot.

All those sparring sessions I had with him, it actually allowed me to elevate my game and get to a different level, because Gennady Galefkin was a killer.

Dude was trying to kill me every single round.

So for me not to get killed, I'd have to defend myself.
