So... is Caleb Plant about the same level of opposition as Saunders?

No. Saunders has done enough to show that he is a good fighter (by good, I mean C class). If Plant loses, there is a good chance that he will be known as Canelo's victim. Have a feeling that he is going to get the potential beaten out of him. For whatever reason, he reminds me of that guy Zab Judah knocked out, Vince Paris.

Saunders is better. Better wins too.

Plant is the 175lb Tennessee version of paulie malignaggi. {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","title":"giphy.gif","data-attachmentid":31096438} ..

Saunders is better and it's not close. I'm not so sure. Plant at least won all his fights convincingly and is a natural super middleweight. Both kind of "eh" though.

Saunders is better and it's not close. Canelo wants to be undisputed so he's fighting Plant. If division wasn't absolute garbage, Canelo would receive flack for this fight.

BJS has a better resume than Plant.

Plant is a great fighter. I like his skills. This is a good fight.

Plant's best wins: Jose Uzcategui, Caleb Truax, Vincent Feigenbutz Saunders' best wins: Andy Lee, David Lemieux, Chris Eubank Jr, John Ryder Both guys have a pretty thin resume to be honest. I think Saunders has slightly better wins but I think Plant is younger and in much better shape.

wow they sure do change their tune quickly dont they? aahh man why canelos fighting that europhag saunders, he should be fighting PLANT! canelo comes in and two pieces plant and all of a sudden we get a sad and depressed thread like this talking about how plant is just the same im expecting similar threads like this when crawford is about to kick porters ass. "Is porter basically the same level as benavidez?? " i can see it now. pbc ball jugglers mighty quiet about how pathetic plants resume is, but let crawford demand to fight spence or these other pbc clowns and posters like OP are all over him asking if hes earned it

I would say so. They both are coming in to try and outbox Canelo. Canelo is just too good right now, he is the king of the super middleweight division, soon to be undisputed with no challengers in sight.

Different style. Every boxer out there has a style that gives them trouble. If Plant uses his feet well he could present issues.

Plant is on BJS level,but theres nobody out there at smw who'd be a better fight next, Benevidez hasn't even done as much as Plant has in his career,so he damn sure isn't better,just a different style matchup,& maybe even easier work than Plant,as he got kd clean by Gavril a few fights ago.

Plant is a good boxer. He will take Canelo the distance unlike that British bum. I would even pick him to win if he had a little more power.

For me he's a tad lower than Saunders in level.

I'm not saying they're not decent sorta scalps, but neither do they really do much to raise Canelo's stock higher than it already is. I wish there was somebody else around one of the divisions Canelo fights in that regularly fought good competition. 168 is weak but nobody there has done much other than Canelo.

Much the same level I'd say, he's not done anything that'd make me think he's better than Saunders on a good day. I don't actually give him the slightest shot here. His best shot at surviving would be to get on his bike but even if that somehow worked he's losing wide on points anyway. Can't imagine what folk think might be a winning strategy for him TBH. I'm not saying they're not decent sorta scalps, but neither do they really do much to raise Canelo's stock higher than it already is.

I thought Saunders and Plant were of similar ability, Saunders being even more trickier. i expect canelo to Win handily but lets not pretend Billie JOE made it somewhat competitive without really doing anything. Plant is taller and rangier so he could be a handful for......... No who am i kidding he suffers the same fate as BILLIE jOE but to the opposite eye he was slapped on yesterday

Pretty much the exact same level. I've watched plant for years and never seen anything special about him but I think some circles are wishful thinking, he will fall apart and get ko'd as soon as Canelo feels like it's time to hit the bar.

I think so. I've seen a few people trying to pretend it's a step in the right direction for Canelo but I think he's about the same level as the euros people bitched about Canelo fighting. Like a mid rounds KO type fight. The PPV will do good business which is good. - -Well, BJ was a Gypsy, yeah, Gypsy, and Gyps don't quit because they born to fight from the cradle, yeah! Plant has more options. He could be a turnip, a rutabaga, an eggplant or a houseplant, but more probably a tomato(e), ie Splotto(e)...:oops:

Plant is a much more skilled and gifted fighter. Saunders has looked ****e for a while against worse fighters than Uzcategui. It will be a much better fight than most think. I hope so....
