Good joke. If this coward ****** ducks Canelo no way in hell he steps foot inside a ring with GGG.
ggg will duck anyone who has a pulse, and that includes plant. ggg at this point is food for all top MWs and SMWs.
It seems nobody cares, which makes sense because Plant doesn't really have a lot of fans. The people that defend him are usually PBC fans, but not necessarily Plant fans.
I think it will be Dirrell - they were featured on back-to-back cards, I think they were supposed to be on the same card but something happened.
It would be one of Plant's better opponents but I just can't bring myself to care
Does anyone care is the question. If you're not challenging yourself and fighting the best (especially as a champion) you shouldn't be given the time of day by fans. His reign has been piss poor up to this point. Who is his mandatory right now? I can see him fighting another can and using the excuse of getting the mandatory (IBF rankings are terrible) out of the way so it leaves the possibility of the Canelo fight open later, same excuse he used before. I think he's talented and a real good fighter but you have to prove that against the best and he isn't doing that. Although he performed well against Uzcategui, I think him slowing down in the second half of the fight when Jose was waking up possibly did something to him mentally where he doesn't have as much confidence in himself as he used to, but I could be wrong.
Plant criticized Smith for taking the Canelo fight on short notice, saying it showed that Smith didn't believe in himself even with adequate time to train, so he took the fight for the paycheck. Plant has had one fight this year against a subpar opponent, if he believes in himself, he should take on a legitimate opponent if Canelo fights someone else.

You think Charlo would be a cash out fight for Plant? Charlo's power didn't carry up from 154 to 160, I doubt his power would be too much for Plant. I think it would be a good fight, but I'd give the edge to Plant right now. Benavidez stops Plant and Charlo
at 168 though.
I'm curious if Charlo is weight drained at 160 or if his power went away when he left 154 and stopped fighting the Centenos and Heilands of the division. He did land some leather Deveryenchenko who is pretty rugged. Matchup-wise, I think Plant and Charlo would be interesting. I could see Sweet Hands outboxing him early and fading down the stretch with it ending up being a close fight.
I think Benavidez is all wrong for Plant.
Fact is, if the Canelo fight doesn’t happen. There is absolutely no way Plant fights Charlo or Benavidez next.
Plant would just do the bum of the month thing. Pocket some money and just wait on Canelo.
The only way Plant fights Charlo or Benavidez is if he fights Canelo first and gets that 10mil and get knocked out. After he’d fight one of those guys to cash out his career.

Outside of Canelo he has the same options just like any other Champion who only fights bums while waiting for the cash cow to bless him.
We all know what threats are available outside of Canelo. But why would he fight them when he has never shown the heart to want to fight them in the past.
If he is not blessed with the pay day of a lifetime with Canelo then he will just fight bums until the pay day comes to fruition again.
You make a valid point
Plant loses to Morrell, Benavidez and all those guys IMO! Even a Charlo coming up to 168 might beat him so yeah it is not a given that he holds on to that Belt and if that happens then yeah he loses out big time
There's nobody there for him doe.
He's terrified of Benavidez.
After Benavidez called him a pussy, Plant says Benavidez waa the pussy for losing his belt on the scale and failing a drug test. That bad blood fight needs to happen if the Canelo fight doesn't happen. Charlo also says he'd fight Plant, but who knows if he really wants it.
Lol. Should’ve known. You’re that Cuban boxing fanboy. No wonder you’re excited this fight didn’t happen. Lol. How about David Morrell as a replacement?
Good idea. I am sure David will love that. Unlike some fighters we all know, Cubans boxers don't avoid anybody. He will sign the dotted line.
I think Canelo-Plant still happens but if it doesn’t Plant probably fights a guy like Anthony Dirrell.
That's a pretty good assessment. Can definitely see Dirrell being dusted off for Plant.

I thought canelo avoided ggg. He vacated the belt and waited for a few years, to make sure ggg was ready for the picking. And still loss the first fight, for sure.
