Time is running out for Clenelo. Plant won't leave this to the judges. He will attack Canelo from so many angles. Canelo is going to be very hurt.
Mark my words, bump this later.
Bet on Plant.
It may be competitive for a few rounds up to the point where fatigue sets in for Plant because he cannot hurt Canelo, cannot keep him off of him and Alvarez simply walks through his punches much like what Hagler did to Hearns. Simply a bad matchup for Plant because of lack of power and the chin of Canelo.
Canelo is 5'8" little man, he is no cruiser or heavyweight.
His ability is tremendous and that's why he can compete in akward matchups.
I believe he can beat Makabu, specially if he can bring Makabu under 190lbs, which I am expecting
At heavyweight he could beat Charr or Bryan, some other B level guys, slow or quite flawed technically.
Thing is, at this higher weights, if Canelo is hit flush, it can end very bad for him, even end his career.
IMO, a fight with Beterbiev would already put him in this position, and we are talking LHW
Yep. Does he want to become the next Dwight Qawi ( slightly taller though) ? You can only pack so many pounds on a 5 foot 8 frame. He looks like he is maxed out without getting fat. He is a tremendous at 160 to 175 lbs.
Why does the Sugar Ray Leonard vs Don LaLonde fight come immediately to mind when I heard about this ? Wonder what weight Canelo is going to come in at ? 180 ?
Love our Frank but... c'mon man! What the hell is another cement footed ex fighter going to do for AJ?
Teach him how to get knocked out in the rematch ? : )
