Comments Thread For: Chavez Sr: Plant is a Good Fighter, But He Can't Beat Canelo

[Thuglife Nelo]

Why are LDBC fans upset that Mayweather no longer represents current boxing to then hate on the best fighter who is not black. They know Crawford and Wilder didn’t catch the torch so there’s no real representation since Floyd. They want fans to believe that the African American boxer is the defacto and they see the paradox of a P4P list. They know that a P4P list doesn’t represent race or color, but skills and accomplishments, that’s why they don’t like Canelo reppin after Floyd that they discredit it or say Bud is better. It’s obvious.

Americans ran the world with the TV and car… times changed…

I’ve been a boxing fan since the 90’s so I saw the tail end of julios run and saw and every Mexican great from then till now. I’ve also studied the game so I know about Sal Sanchez he is actually my all time fave from Mexico but if you want to criticize we can both agree that any boxer in the history or present and j guarantee even j. The future can be criticized. You say you’re too old? Why aren’t you old enough to stop being a hater?

Whatever makes you feel amplifies your statement lad

I wouldn’t expect Chavez Sr to say anything less about his fello compadre! I still would have some stern drug testing if I were Plant, because we know Canelo has been caught before and received a kiss and don’t do that on my watch kind of lesson. Canelo a beast but at 5’ 7” yes he juicing and I remember early on fights he struggled in like with Lanardo Tyner, but he has elevated or something has him going better.

Lol "struggled" with Lanardo Tyner thats funny he fought an awkward 34 year old who had never been knocked out and won a UD when he was 19 years old but he struggled ok buddy I saw that fight live Tyner made it difficult in an Emmanuel Augustus way but never did he hurt or overwhelm Saul so how does that equate with him juicing now lmao your logic makes zero sense. Tell me who your favorite fighter is and who he was fighting at 19 years old I want to see the level of competition and how they looked because by your logic if they didn't look that great when they were that age but went on to become a champion or improve their craft they obviously were on something right?

I’m too experienced, too grizzled, and too old for hurt feelings on the internet. Yes you’re a fan, but I question how long you have been one if you’re so ready to cancel out JC Chavez, Juan Manuel Marquez, Salvador Sanchez, Oliver’s, Zarate, Lopez etc. Canelo has a history of avoiding the best opponents post Mayweather, who totally outclassed him. I thought he lost the first ggg fight as well as the Lara fight. Ask yourself this….if he were to retire today…would he be remembered with renown by boxing and sports fans alike? He would largely be looked at like joe Calzaghe, great but never a defining win against a great in their prime.

Honest question (I know asking you for logic & honesty is too much but)

Name me some recent legends & their "in their prime champion opponent wins" this should be good.(its always comical when fanbois claim undefeated p4p fighters with zero wear & tear & less than half rds boxed" warent in their prime" but pretend Canelo at 22 was. Or pretend that the majority of all the current star champs(like ggg) warent considered bums in their prime,or that Canelo DIDN'T sign to fight ggg exactly 1 yr after winning his lineal title v Cotto.

List of prime champ Canelo opponents:ggg,Jacobs,Lara,Trout,Smith,BJS,Plant(ye s ggg should be considered prime,he was Undefeated p4p with only Jacobs wear & tear & was a bum in his prime. But you're the same hater who'll claim Beterbieve was old if Canelo beats him next.

Chavez is correct, plant doesn't have the skills to beat canelo, plant hasn't fought anybody, this will be plants biggest purse earning 10 million just to fight canelo, plant will be knocked out on 8th or 9th round or he will not be able to answer the bell
