Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Opens As -600 Favorite Versus Caleb Plant

I’m not.

I’m just excited for when he fights someone who’s an even match.

Who do you consider an even match? Odds wise.

I think even at 175, the bookies would probably make him a favourite at this point.

he’ll be a pretty clear favourite in a GGG trilogy too as he’s nearly 40.

168 is a weak division (aside from Benavidez) and that’s why canelo is there. By comparison , the best fighters at middle weight Would easily beat the fighters at 168 the Canelo has faced so far.

who has Benavidez ever beaten? Canelo would go through him.

he’s a big tall upright straight line fighter, tailor made for Canelo. He would get cut down to size.

People say Benavidez let’s his hands go but that’s against nobodies. He won’t be so trigger happy with sharp counters coming back at him.

his size and work rate and not to mention toughness will be a problem for canelo who prefers to fight at a slow and measured pace. He won’t be easily deterred like these brits who stop trying to win after a couple of rounds. He 100% will let his hands go.

I just don’t see the work rate being if it happens.

elite sharp fighters like Canelo make your work rate decrease drastically.

Floyd used to cut fighters work rate down by half, not through power but his sharpness. He made Canelo
gun shy and deterred, a supposed Mexican warrior.

Canelo does that to fighters now.

It’s fine letting your hands go when the opponent hasn’t got the ability to do anything about it.

I don’t think Benavidez has anything to trouble Canelo.

Plant has NOTHING for Canelo.
Alvarez will chop him down & walk thru him.

[steeve steel]

point us to the fights that show that , fegenbuntz? mike subway lee? the face first uzcategui. he fouht nobody

Good point! Smith's best win is a faded and past due date Groves, and Saunders best win is one-dimensional LeMule, so...

[Earl-Hickey]

It's just a shame 168 is pretty ****e right now, give me a Prime Froch or Kessler who will actually give canelo a fight.

Hell even give me a prime George groves he moved as well as Saunders, was bigger and his punches actually hurt.

Saunders and Plant are just not it man.

Not blaming canelo for this btw he can only fight who's around.

[Earl-Hickey]

That is your opinion.

I think Saunders beats Charlo and Andrade,

Saunders should be at 160 but he's unprofessional

[kushking]

There's no one left that's an even match anymore for Canelo. He'll be a decisive favorite the rest of his career. How many fights has he been an underdog in in his career? Mayweather and ...??? Do not expect him to be even with any fighter for a long time, that's the price of being great. And then after his haters will say he never took challenges as evidenced that he was always a favorite.

He was an underdog v ggg twice,& he was a very slight fav vs Trout/Lara almost pickem.

Oddsmakers don't figure Caleb Plant to end the incredible run enjoyed by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, though still give him a better chance than his predecessors. The unbeaten IBF super middleweight titlist has been inserted as a modest +400 underdog to dethrone Alvarez (56-1-2, 38KOs), the reigning WBC/WBA/WBO champ who has opened as a -600 favorite in such a fight according to BetOnline.ag.

This is the fight where imma put some money down on the under dog. Plant actually moves really well and has pop. Canelo walked thru his last fight because they guy had meh power, Plant will keep him honest. Question is can he keep that pace up, esp since Canelo clearly has that designer EPO working for him he won't tire.

If Canelo doesn't put him down Plant will out point him.
