    How can anyone talk seriously about Canelo-Plant?

    Plant has absolutely nothing on Canelo. It'll probably be one of the easiest unifications in history

    At least Smith had the height advantage although he wasn't smart enough to use it. Plant has 0 chances

    if it was so easy why didnt others try it ?
    benavidez, charlo or even GGG could have done the same...
    its only easy cuz canelo is soo good...
    if this was plant vs charlo it will be a 50-50 fight, same goes for ggg and benavidez...

      Idk about 50-50, but yes it is more likely that you will lose, when it isn't 100% certain that you will win, if the fight goes 12 rounds. Good point.

        I'd feel better about Plant's chances, if I didn't view him as a similar fighter to BJS. I don't really see what all he does much different or better than BJS, and Canelo imo dominated that fight until the stoppage.

        Smith had just gotten beat by Ryder right before Canelo though, so I wouldn't say he was a live dog going into that fight really.

        Canelo is fighting great right now, there is no doubt about that. He's actually been beating guys clearly post-GGG, and not even really needing any judging help.

        Is he roided to the gills? Yeah, surely, but it is what it is

          Um maybe because it's pretty hard when your not a cash cow that offers life changing money in a single fight? Same reason Smith took the fight on short notice. Pretty much selling the belts. It's a trashass division.

              I see this fight as an easy win for plant.

                Plant has no chance. It's not just that Canelo is really good, it's also that Plant is really really bad. His list of title defenses is one of the saddest, most embarrassing lists imaginable.

                  It's only a discussion due to that belt Plant has. Once Nelo takes it, he will fall off the boxing map.

                    Its probably fair to say that Plant would be 50/50 with 40 year old GGG fighting above his best weight. Benavidez blasts through his leaky D 80% of the time.
