Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Plant: Showtime Pay-Per-View Officially Announced

[Oregonian]

Reynoso’s predictable jingoistic remarks really make me want to see Plant take the victory. Makes me want to chant “USA USA” like the American fans of old. Best of luck to Caleb plant, for himself, his family, and his country.

It’s interesting that the chants of Mexico! Mexico! will drown the chants of USA! USA!
The question for you to ponder is, how is it that it’s Canelo who is the bigger draw, brings in more fans and $$ as a “foreigner” in the US? Canelo us literally a household name in the US.
Meanwhile, nobody knows Plant.

All that aside, who is more skilled between these two? That’s all we care about! The national pride that both sides argue about is just pride. Nothing more, nothing less.

Canelo vs Plant is my favorite scheduled fight!!! I hope Showtime/CBS do a good job promoting this fight! Looking forward to the promo shows!

I thought Josh Taylor was already a unified champion, or is there another belt he needs? I guess I need to research. Canelo is from Mexico but everyone likes him and sees him as a Latin American because he's been fighting here for so long and respectful and never says anything bad but just emphasizes he ain't forgetting where he came from and pays honor to his country. Mexico has been the neighbor where all of us Americans visit all the time. We all love seeing a fighter grow improve and display skillful boxing no matter what country they're from. Like right now there're alot of good Philippine fighters I'm eyeing like Magsayo

I don`t care about that mismatch.

“It was an emotional night for Plant, who had dedicated his championship win to the memory of his late daughter, Alia, who passed away in 2015.”.........no it wasn’t, go do your research and see that The mother of Caleb Plant said Caleb never cared about their daughter and was never in the hospital with them and when she passed away the only thing he cared about was buying a good tuxedo to look good at the funeral. He only uses his dead daughter for pitty and acceptance

So Caleb and his mother have a daughter........I see

Read the "question to ponder", then read the original post, then wondered how the original post birthed the "question to ponder"
