David Benavidez says Anthony Yarde is making a mistake if he isn't sparring.

During a training session for his next fight against Anthony Yarde, David Benavidez addresses questions from Fight Hype about what he thinks of his opponent's training style, who he thinks is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world right now, and more. Take a look at some of what he said below. Benavidez talks about how Yarde doesn't do much sparring to get ready for his matches. "Well, everyone has their own taste. I don't really care how other people conduct their jobs... I don't know of anyone who doesn't spar, but if he doesn't spar for this bout, it will be a tremendous mistake. I'm not like any other combatant, so I can do a lot of things. I put a lot of pressure on, throw a lot of combinations, and I'm quick. So, if he doesn't spar with anyone, it will be hard for him to keep up with my speed or timing. How he ranks Usyk, Inoue, and Crawford as the top three P4P combatants "I have no doubt that Usyk is number one." No one else is even close to Usyk since he has fought so many huge fights in a row. He fought the best fighters even when he was in the cruiserweight division. Then, when he moved up to the heavyweight division, no one thought he had a chance, yet he knocked everyone out. Usyk is first, and Terence Crawford is second because he did something I didn't believe he would do: he beat Canelo, who was three weight classes higher, and it looked very simple. So you need to give it to Crawford first, then to Inoue. Inoue needs that big win to sign.
