I first saw it on You Tube and starting to see it in other places. First of all, Plant's allegations about Canelo's camp? He is not the only fighter to have them. Other fighters have levied similar accusations about the camp. The video below has a blurb in the comments that explains the situation in detail. First of all, before anyone gets the wrong idea: don't shoot at the messenger, I don't claim to know the nature of how much steroids help fighters, as I am skeptical that they help anymore than helping an older fighter like James Toney heal from an injury... If it was up to me? I would level the playing field and let fighters use what they want... is it government's place to tell people what they can and cannot put in their bodies? Unless sanctioning bodies can stop all abuse... including the type Conte explains (the government cannot)... then you will always stop some and not others. Hence those who cheat best will find a way to do so.
But I also understand that some people, including fighters, think these substances are a huge advantage, and feel strongly that people using them are cheating. Is that not a fair perspective? It is hardly only Plant who seems to feel strongly about this. To some fighters it is also a safety issue and Conte who I actually know about from connections, is brilliant. If he says people are finding a way to take performance enhancers... I would bet the farm on it.
My concern is people who seem to feel like Plant has no legitimacy challenging Canelo because he speaks out on the alleged roids abuse. I don't agree with this at all. Plant is a champion, he has a style that could give Canelo problems. Analysts like Bread, for example, think Plant is a big challenge to Canelo. Canelo has, in the past had difficulty with guys who can move... Yet when you mention any of this? and I am not talking about only here... I mean in general. its like people get personal quick. They insult, as though Canelo's ability is unquestionable, how dare someone proposes he could be beat, or is cheating. There is even a whole contingent criticizing Plant for taking some props from Aundrey Ward! Insulting Ward, claiming he is using Plant to get at Canelo... Claiming Plant being laced up by a great fighter means Plant is not secure in his own abilities. what the fck? Seriously?
then there are the posters claiming Plant will wind up in the hospital and all this other casual type shiat threats... I mean Plant should not fight Canelo because Canelo is too dangerous? Like Bauer when Braddock beat him? or When Tyson was going to destroy Buster Douglas?
Canelo is at his peak and a very talented fighter. He is not without weakness, and he is not beyond reproach... If he and his camp are doing something that others feel is an unfair advantage, he deserves to be Called out. Why should he be angry at Plant for doing this? Lol. And Plant is a decent fighter... Im going on record here and saying Plant will perform well and do a decent job. I doubt anyone wins a decision against Canelo lol, but if he makes it a good scrap it should shut up a lot of the radical fringe of the Canelo contingency. Much respect for those who simply think Canelo will just destroy Plant and are not talking shiat to people that is undeserved... everyone has a right to their opinions. And those who think Ward has no business spitting knowledge and game "fck you."
