All this **** that plant is talking about cleaning up the sport but I see no record Caleb doing vada testing before this canelo fight. The only reason this fight has testing is because canelo is enrolled in vada. Not Caleb. How you gonna pretend to be a crusader for a clean sport but you have done very little or no random drug testing in your career?.....why won't bread mention this?

Canelo has the judges in his pocket as per usual. We've seen it. The A side with money gets minimum 1 lopsided scorecard. I've seen him get 95% of the close rounds and not so close rounds in every one of his fights.

Dumb ass hasn't seen these PBC/Showtime scorecards lately.

Then he gets mad at Canelo for pushing Caleb. The sht happens all the time like Bread said. No big deal. But he's right about Caleb wasting a lot of energy...

Exactly, you have all these fighters being critical from the outside looking in, none of these guys are enrolled in VADA, as a matter of fact very few fighters are. Look I don't make excuses for fighters, ultimately it's their responsibility to figure out what is going into their bodies, but it's very possible nowadays with all the stuff that's out there, that you might be taking some vitamins or supplements that you might think it's safe, only to find out it's contaminated, it's not like there were taking actual Human Growth Hormone (an actual steroid) and it's variations of it, like a ton of boxers were back in the day, before VADA. It's no big secret that Cleubetorol the stuff that was in very small trace amounts in Canelo, is widely used in Mexican cattle, ( it is, look it up) it can get into your system by eating a taco or anything else somewhere in Mexico, right after that, Canelo made sure he only consumed organic meat from trusted sources, he's still in VADA and has never tested positive again. So Canelo took responsibility and made sure he wasn't in that situation again. And Plant was absolutely dragging his feet to this fight, people bring up the 7 week's thing, but there were multiple other occasions since that Plant dragged his feet, honestly, he only took this fight because his back was against the wall, Haymon himself knew Canelo was a Free agent, and wanted to do anything possible to bring him to his platform, and he is using Plant to get that, I'm not saying Plant can't win, anything can happen in boxing, but make no mistake about it, in Haymon eye's, Plant is the sacrificial lamb.

"Different types of pre-fight masters:

Provocator (Ali, Fury)
Agressive (Hopkins, Duran)
Extra focus (Ward, Mayweather)
Cool and relax (Golovkin, Pacquiao)"

That was dope!

[Shadoww702]

For me Crawford/Porter an easy fight.

Crawford ALL DAY!!!! I plan on dropping some good $$$$$ on Crawford.

Porter lost all his big fights and I just think Crawford wins by stoppage or UD. This fight a mismatch IMO. Bull vs. Matador!

[ShoulderRoll]

Crawford has a gift because he forced Mean Machine into making fatal mistakes?

Vergil Ortiz must have a gift too then.

Lol. Do you know the ratio of fans whom would gravitate towards Canelo’s career vs referencing Plant? “All of” becomes CERTAIN when comparing Plant… LMAO derp derp

I have a question people used to say Mike Tyson would kill Holyfield when he was in his prime but Tyson beat Michael Spinks at 23 he wasn't in his prime. Sugar Ray Leonard beat Hearns and Hearns was 22 he wasn't in his prime. Oscar destroyed Chavez at 23 Chavez was 33 Oscar wasn't in his prime. So why when Mayweather beats Canelo at 36 and Canelo is 23 and weighs almost 20 pounds more than Mayweather way is Mayweather cherry picking when Canelo was begging for the fight and it was the top grossing fight at a time that means that people didn't think he was cherry picking.
