Comments Thread For: Caleb Plant: Canelo's A Great Fighter, But There's No Way That He's Better Than Me

what are Plants top 5 best wins?


do you know how complete dog chit they are?

lmao he has no chance. Canelo is multiple levels above him.

Ok little Caleb, you’re cute. But the gig is up! This is the first time you fight a world level opponent, first and last because you will get ktfo, and we will never here from your garbage ass again! But hey, look at the bright side, it’s a nice retirement check!!!

And if his last name was Gonzalez, you would be cutting back on the the drama queen superlatives.

I like Plant as much as the next guy, but I'd like for someone to break down for me how you think he legitimately wins this fight. Not just how, 'he fights a fight that he should win', rather how at the end of the fight he gets his hand raised by the ref.

I read a lot about how he controls distance, okay, that he does. But if he fights off his back foot the whole night then the judges will just give Canelo the benefit of the doubt for being the aggressor, ergo the 'ring general'. And for the moments that Plant tries to stand in the pocket, the judges will further award Canelo because he is, 'making Plant fight his (Canelo's) fight."

Lets say he does stick and move well though, and peppers Alvarez with jabs all night, out landing him. We've seen that before, out landing Canelo doesnt give you the nod (unless you are money making A-side Mayweather). Canelo will get the benefit of the doubt that his punches are more impactful by whatever factor it takes to give him the round. We've heard it before following Canelo fights, "you don't win with a jab", and when it comes to beating Alvarez that seems to hold true.

Maybe Plant KO's him......yeah doubt that. Canelo has a great set of whiskers, and Plant just aint that type of fighter.

This aint me hating on boxing, I'm just being honest here. If someone who favors Plant could explain how they think he would get actual judges to give him more rounds than they give Canelo I'd love to read it. And this assumes he's actually able to do this against Canelo, who is a great fighter.

I would say that if Canelo wasn't such a superb body puncher, the fight could be closer. But thats like saying if Hearns didn't have power or Leonard didn't have speed....but Canelo can weaken a fighter to the body and once that happens, the fighting spirit of his opponents wane.

Caleb doing a little to much talking you noticed canelo hasn’t said one word All canelo opponents say the same things before they mauled down they think canelo is the same fighter as when he fought Floyd and Lara they keep making that same mistake thinking canelo hasn’t evolved

[pretty ste]

Plant has the real fighters mentality unlike the already defeated before the fight starts quitting cowards Kovalev, Smith, Fielding, Yildirim and Saunders

That’s bs he sounds defeated if anything doing a lot of talking I like Caleb but he never fought anybody like canelo in his life this ain’t truax uztategi and them Uber drivers his been fighting

[pretty ste]

He'll either outbox Canelo's ears off, or take a gradual beating.

That’s why they going to keep losing to him because you don’t beat canelo by out boxing him he has evolved since the Lara and Floyd fight you have to back him up make canelo use his legs they keep trying to move on canelo they going to get mauled down Because he’s very elite when it comes to cutting the ring off and once them body shots starts landing is a wrap

[pretty ste]

I think even Canelo is writing Plant off as an easy win and that can be his downfall. I'm dropping money on Plant for sure and banking on the upset.

when has canelo ever underestimates his opponents

[pretty ste]

This fight won't end in Caleb being koed....... canelo's famed body attack is telegraphed IMO, I don't expect it to be a factor in the fight

Telegraphed lmfaooooo it will be a factor dont matter what you say lol

Exactly, you aint outboxing Canelo. For someone to beat him they gotta have a good set of whiskers and go toe-to-toe with him; either with volume or power.

It’s rather tacky or unrealistic to read what Plant’s talking about. You’re rated on who you’ve beaten. Plant knows that. So it seems like he’s just selling the fight…

as a matter of fact, I don’t even sense a lot of hype for this fight, so Haymon is probably urging Plant to be as vocal as possible. Canelo’s getting his guarantee…
