Canelo probably does the same to Caleb Plant

Plant is worse than BJS and has the same big weakness that you cant have against Canelo: He fades way too quickly.
Plant has faded badly Vs Medina, Uzcategui and lost all snap vs ancient Caleb Truax in the second half.
Besides that, he isnt very elusive. He hides his flaws with his speed, but gets easily tagged whenever he becomes less mobile and his reflexes slow down.

Plant is easy work for Canelo. He'll stroll to victory.
These SMW's are **** average. The only one that might do something to Canelo is Benavidez but he seems to be a cokehead so don't see him getting the fight.
Canelo is great but let's not kid ourselves this SMW division is in a serious slump compared to previous generations.Comment

It's a BIGGER fight now imo, because it is for a full unification and Plant is American (and somehow actually has a bit of a following) But I agree that it's a slightly easier fight than Saunders. Just the fact that he's orthodox instead of southpaw makes it an easier fight for Canelo imo. I do think Plant has quicker hands than Saunders, but slower feet and less lateral movement, which I think are bigger problems for Canelo than the handspeed because of his timing. Power is probably similar, both with questionable gas tanks down the stretch, but Plant is also MUCH more unproven in big fights than Saunders and I had a go at BJS's resume coming into this one. Who TF has Plant beat? Uzcategui? Who pushed him and had him in trouble late in that fight? Washed Truax and Porky Medina? Feigenbutz? SUPER thin resume and easier fight for Canelo imo, might go longer but would be more one sided. Thinking 10th or 11th rd stoppage with Plant winning maybe 1 rd in the processComment
