Jack, 39, took to Twitter Saturday to expose Alvarez's demands, saying the weight difference was too much and they wanted to "drain" him 20 pounds.
"I won't be fighting Canelo next," Jack wrote. "They said the weight difference is too much. They wanted to drain the old man and fight me 20 pounds UNDER the cruiser weight limit for the title, plus a rehydration clause. Canelo let's give the fans what they want to see and fight David Benavidez."
The cruiserweight category (200 pounds) is a division above the light heavyweight (175 pounds), where Alvarez feels most comfortable. Badu would have been too weak at 180 pounds, to the great advantage of Canelo.
Jack finished his announcement by telling Alvarez to give the fans what they want and fight Benavidez, who has long been in search of Canelo.
Canelo Alvarez ducking David Benavidez?
Benavidez, 26, has been calling out Alvarez for years now and Alvarez has yet to make the fight happen.
Alvarez, 32, was adamant about a rematch against Dmitry Bivol and when that fell through he reached out to Badu.
Benavidez is the mandatory WBA challenger for the undisputed super middleweight title belt against Alvarez.
It's looking like Alvarez will have no other choice but to face Benavidez, who believes Canelo could be stripped of his belt if he doesn't accept the fight.
