Comments Thread For: Canelo's Coach: Let's Get Plant Deal Done - Then I Like Charlo, Spence, Benavidez

Sounds like they're having problems with PBCult in making this fight.

It's never Canelo over here but...

He has been fighting good comp. Some others hyping up themselves aren't.

Andrade definitely didn't help himself! Hearn has not helped him either! With Canelo, GGG, and Munguia on DAZN, he couldn't get him a fight?

That’s his fault and not only did he sign with Hearn he did it twice. He made his own bed now he will lay in it abs shyte away what is left of his career

[Oldskoolg]

Didn’t they offer him a fight once?

Not only that, but Canelo has mentioned him on more than one occasion. Always respectful and said he’d like that fight after unifying. He hasn’t been on the radar since Charlo had nothing to offer at 168 where Canelo has been campaigning for undisputed for a while now. And Charlo didn’t sound excited at all to fight Canelo in his most recent post fight interview, changing his tune about going up for him.

I dont think we’ll ever see Canelo at 160 again unless it’s Spence. Spence has been calling Canelo out for a really long time now and wants to make the move up. It’d be a beyond huge fight in Texas.


I don’t know why people are s hitting on Charlo for his last performance. You run into guys like that eventually. He hit him with absolutely every punch in existence and Montiel just had heart and durability for days and can crack. Charlo didn’t look bad, he was just in a real fight against someone there who didn’t want to be denied. Montiel didnt care how well Charlo was fighting and landing. That kind of will is hard to stop, even when firing on all cylinders. Lesser champions would and have wilted in those situation.

There’s no polishing of a turd, Charlo looked extremely vulnerable….and I’m a Charlo fan who’s had ringside seats to his fights

Not surprised at all there's no Beterbiev in that sentence and not surprised at all they'll try to drag Spence up to some ****ty weight to fight him. Typical redballs, will pull people up from 3 weight classes below him but not move up to 175 where he actually won a belt.

[batista84]

Lmao now that charlo looked like shlt they finally mention him

Well maybe if Charlo was that good to not look bad against a C level fighter you wouldn't have to say what you just said. It's not Alvarez fault that Charlo looked bad against an "Yldirim" caliber of fighter.

Blame Mall for either not being what you thought he was or not preparing good for what was perceived as a bad fighter.

Just being honest.

Ok, here are my thoughts on this thing:

• I do like the Charlo and Benavidez fights after Plant
• I see he hasn't mentioned Andrade at all, which makes me believe thay are serious about never giving a payday to Andrade, which is sad because is a fight I defintiely want to see.
• I don't like Spence fight, I mean sure, Spence has been calling out Canelo since a long time ago, he drains himself to make 147 but I do not know how he will look in upper weights, some folks do better, some don't. The fight would be a huge one, it would be a very big fight but I think the weight jump would be too much for Spence, ironically I will say this, I do think Canelo does better against bigger guys than smaller guys.
• I'm all about the 175 fights Reynoso mentioned in interviews not long ago, my dream fight would be against Beterbiev because that's the only fight where I wouldn't bet on Canelo to win, huge risk but historical reward.

Let's see how this things unfold.

Nah Spence could be big if he wants to. Industry knows how much Spence drains and camps to make 147. He’s at the threshold. He could easily fight at 154-160. Spence doesn’t have to be thin just because he looks thin at 147. He can just bulk up and get loose the way Duran and SRL did up to 168. Besides, Spence said he’d go to 160 for Canelo for the last 2-3 years. 164 would be fair. Duran and SRL fought at 168. Spence bigger than both of them

You just said Spence should just do nonchalantly what two ATG did like it's nothing lol. SRL and Duran are extraordinary fighters that did what many weren't able. Spence is really good but come on. Also, Spence might be bigger than Duran but not SRL. But he also doesn't have the skills of either guy but that's another story for another day.

So your thought is Spence moves up 3 weight classes and that's a reasonable fight. I mean if the money is enough for him to sell is 0 to Canelo sure but that's not a very winnable fight for Spence IMO and would be ignorant of him to take.

[Jab jab boom]

LOL the fact that people still think canelo is looking for easy fight makes no sense to me. He's clearly fighting the best available, that makes sense. He said his desire was to clean 168, which he's one fight from doing, then he's going after the best remaining, which include Charlo, regardless of his last performance

really? What canelo opponent were you impressed with in their fights prior to canelo facing them? Was it smith who most has losing his previous fight to Ryder? Was it Yidilgrim who lost his previous fight and was off for over a year? Was it Saunders who hasn’t looked impressive since beating lemieux 3 years ago? 168 is one of the worst divisions in boxing that had one of the worst group of champions. Especially once Benavidez got stripped which is interestingly enough right when canelo decided he wanted to unify the division.
