Comments Thread For: Caleb Plant: Canelo Has a Tall Order in Front of Him!

[LAchargers373]

Styles make fight and Plant has never fought with a fighter that can actually knocked the f out of a fighter to sleep. Callum Smith would have walked him down with brutal body punches. Callum Smith has pop in his punches and put people to sleep actually.

If you say Benavidez would come out as winner of both fights in Smith and BJS I won't argue but Caleb Plant? Hell No! After what I saw against Caleb Truax I believe Caleb Plant is overrated.

Lmao uzicatagui will KO the f out a fighter to sleep ask Andre dirrel. Also ur smoking meth BJS refused to fight anyone but canelo even at MW. Dude ducked andrade for years. And fought like 4 fights in 5 years against nobodies. He held that belt hostage. You plant didn’t jump at a unification with BJS. U wanna know why? Cause BJS works for Eddie Hearn. Hearn keeps his fighters fighting bums and holding belts till canelo calls him then he feeds them to the ginger like tainted horse meat. Saunders has literally never beat anyone of any note his entire career. In fact canelo is the only noteworthy fight on his ledger. Yes he was tricky southpaw with good skills but he never tried to test himself. The one time he did he got his face broken. He didn’t fight andrade Lara charlo golovkin any other champ at MW dude is really a disgrace. Was a bonafide paper champ at SMW. Only moved up cause Hearn got him a free belt to hold till canelo wanted to unify. Plant ain’t that guy. He ain’t wait his life for a canelo fight. He here to win. He might still lose but he’s the best opponent canelo has faced in awhile

Nobody here should be calling Caleb Plant a bum, but Plant hasn't beaten ANYBODY the caliber of a Danny Jacobs, Callum Smith, BJS, Amir Khan, etc, so how in the world you figure that Plant definitely beats the GGG that Canelo fought is beyond me. I will give you Avni Yildirim though. Plant definitely beats Yildirim on his best day. Uzcategui is marginally better than Yildirim. He was that weak of a champion.

Ummm. I dunno if U watch boxing. But jacobs just lost to gabe rosado. Daniel jacobs is a SEVERELY overrated fighter he’s not very good. Uzcategui would beat down Danny jacobs

I agree that Jacobs has fallen off and was always a bit overrated, but Uzcategui is AWFUL. Go watch his fights and tell me what you see in him.

Realistically Plant is pretty much an unknown quantity as he hasn’t really fought anybody of note. However to completely discount him on that basis is flawed. Just because he hasn’t had a standout performance doesn’t mean he’s incapable of one. An experienced fan can see flashes of those things that make a fighter great and Caleb does have some of those. He also has physical advantages in height and reach. Whether he can make all that count and bring it all together when the time comes is unknown. It’s easy to criticise from the comfort of a chair that someone gets hit too often or does punch hard enough, but styles make fights and just because Truax or Uzcategui had their moments, it doesn’t necessarily follow that Canelo will too. Different fighter with different strengths AND weaknesses. Ok he may not have many weaknesses but he does have some - slow feet, punch output at 168 etc etc. Personally I think it’ll be a close fight whilst it lasts. My head says Canelo stoppage in later rounds by my heart hopes Plant can deliver as truly memorable win and I don’t think that’s impossible.

uzatagui fell off a bit but when plant beat him he was top 2 at SMW. His only previous loss was to korobov at MW who’s a good fighter that most thought beat charlo. Uzi was heavily favoured to run through plant after beating down dirrel twice. Really his only questionable loss is to Thompson who’s not very good but who knows whats really going on maybe he’s been juicing the whole time now that he got caught before this benevidez fight brings a few things into question. All I can say is the uzi that fought plant was a one loss buzz saw and plant absolutely schooled him. Also I’m not sure what people say they saw against traux that makes him vulnerable plant won every single round lol

Ok, fair enough, but the same reasoning you use to make excuses for Uzcategui applies to Danny Jacobs. Jacobs looked like **** against Gabe Rosado in his last fight, but, officially, he's only lost to three guys who had a combined record of 103-1-2 when he fought them. Two of those guys are 1st-ballot HOFers and the other retired with a 20-0 record. Jacobs > Uzcategui

[Zodogg]

no hes not. caleb has never proven he was any better than any of the other ABC trinket holders at 168. He is certainly less proven than daniel jacobs.

What are caleb's top 5 wins? lmao they are bum quality wins. Dude goes on and on about beating Jose Uzcategui like its some big deal who got his title from a shot Dirrell.



If Caleb would beat everyone on Canelo's record, why wasnt he already the unified champ at 168? why is canelo the one out there fighting all the trinket holders while Caleb defended against bums?

It's funny how dudes get on here and try to talk **** about fighters Caleb Plant Is here for whatever reason. He is an that is definitely trying to become great his resume is his resume LET THEM FIGHTTHEM DO YOUR ANALYSIS OF WHY HE DIDN'T BELONG. IF HE BEATS CANELO THEN IM SURE YOU TALK BAD ABOUT CANELO AND DIMINISH WHAT HE ACCOMPLISHED.

[Hands of Stone]

I expect Canelo to put a comprehensive beatdown on this guy. The guy has purposely avoided stiff competition in order to get to this point. Good for him cos now he is going to get a good payday but his lack of quality opposition would be his downfall. Been perceived as a boxer is his perceived advantage but even then you can't conclusively say he is a better boxer than Canelo either. Couple that with the fact that he has no pop to keep Alvarez off him, dude is in a world of trouble from probably round 4 till however long it lasts

“If I walked on water, people would just say I couldn’t swim”. Huh????? WTF is this guy talking about.

Quit with all that ****** shht and talk normal. Nobody wants to hear that ridiculous shht trying to act all eccentric with that ****** shht.

Personally I think he’s feeling the heat and it’s why he acting this way.

Plus everyone wants to act like he’s this smooth defensive master boxer and Canelo is just power with a good chin. Fact is Canelo has great boxing skills and good defensive ability along with having great counter ability and speed. Wrap that all up with his power and that’s a too much of a task that will be extremely hard to overcome for Plant.

This is boxing and anything can happen and imo the only way Plant wins is if he gets on his bike and pot shots all night to victory.

These fights polarize individuals lol. A lot of elite trainers claim plant is a live dog.

Plant is a good sized 168, familiar with the weight...with reach and mobility... he has excellent footwork.

Canelo is a great fighter. But realistically what he can do to plant is probably counter him... plant can avoid the ropes... plant can tire canelo, if canelo has to chase him down... canelo can't use the jab so much, Caleb has reach and size...

This fight going to be closer than many think... I'll bet a dish of crow on it.
