Since Caleb Plant isn't fighting Canelo can he be in an actual fight?

Or does that mean he kills time fighting a pointless fight like Anthony Dirrell till the Canelo opportunity comes back around?

They should bring Tommy Z out of retirement and do some crazy catchweight. This way Plant can beat up another part-time fighting Golden Domer. I'll always pay to watch a Notre Dame alum get his face punched off.

Options will be limited providing he fights around September.

Benavidez tied up with an August, don’t really see Charlo coming to 168 for Plant, Morrell fighting Ryder, Saunders is probably retiring, Smith moving to 175. Who else is there?

If he does fight around September, Dirrell wouldn’t be the worst fight in the world as a stay busy defence. But after that just get Plant-Benavidez made providing neither is facing Canelo instead.

Canelo got 33 million for Yildirim? You sure about that?

I think he got 15m guaranteed and then 20m in bonuses or something like that. It was silly money for that glorified 3 round spar.

Nah, that's asking for too much. These SMWs aren't risking it against a tough opponent when Canelo is on the table...It's truly a pathetic division. Look at what BJS/Smith did before the Canelo fight, look at who Plant has just fought and Benavidez is in a decent fight but his resume sucks too.

It is borderline pathetic.

Everyone from 160-168 is terrified of taking a loss and losing out on a Canelo payday.

I think he likely would fight Anthony Dirrell on FOX next if the Canelo thing is not worked about

Morrell, Benavidez...too Risky for Plant but as long as he has that Belt it keeps his door open to a huge Payday with Canelo. If nothing gets worked out for September (which they could still be working on by the way), then who's to say things can't be made for December or May 2022
