Does Caleb Plant have a better shot at beating Canelo than Smith and Saunders?

what does Plant have to do to pull the upset?

[ippo]

He doesn't have the punching power to make Canelo respect him. He can try to box, but canelo will eventually time him and knock him out.

Stylistically yes.

Though his resume is way way below Smith and Saunders

Smith has beaten the former lineal and ring #1 rated SMW George Groves in his resume

Saunders has Eubank,Lee,Lemieux,Ryder as his best wins

Are you being genuine? I'd bet my house that Canelo mops the floor with Plant. What would Plant have to do? He'd have to fight better and punch harder than GGG. Basically, Plant is going to have to KO Canelo. Before Canelo KO's him. Do you think Plant is a better fighter than GGG? Or Kovalev? Or any of those guys? Plant is a sacrifice to the great red-headed god of boxing.

i hope his chin holds up long enough to make the fight worth watching.

I'm not sure but I hope he at least tries to compete and if/once he starts getting beat to a pulp then he goes out of his shield instead of essentially quitting half way through the fight like Callum or legit quitting like Billy Hoe.

Since Caleb lacks the power he will have to be as creative with his offense as possible. He has to fight like a poor mans version of Lomanchenko. Pivots, angles, pit pat shots mixed with power shots, and varying speeds. You can only time and study something when it’s repetitive and constant. Caleb will have to have 3 or 4 styles to keep Canelo thinking.

The most important thing is the variation of his jabs! If he isn’t able to land a variety of them, then there is no hope.

Lastly, he will have to make sure his physical stamina is unparalleled. Without that he can’t execute his gameplan consistently nor will he be able to stand up to Canelo’s unrelenting pressure and ring generalship.

Plant is less well-known. He hasn't been in a single difficult in his life so he's looked solid in every bout albeit versus very crap (typical PBC) competition.

By the time Saunders fought Canelo he had been exposed a bit because he stepped up his competition and started getting complacent.

Canelo is rightfully the favorite and should TKO Kayley

[ralex]

Nope. Callum and BJS are both better
