People are forgetting Plant is the local Vegas guy...

If Pacquiao can get robbed against Tim Bradley then I think nobody is safe from getting jobbed.

Also keep in mind that Canelo doesn’t have Golden Boy or DAZN behind him in this one. You never know.

oh no are we going to get 3 canelo-plant fights? like wilder-fury? haymon!

[Roadblock]

Please calm down I haven’t insulted you so no need to insult me.

Now to the topic Canelo lost a clear decision to Floyd but in no way did he lose “every rd” but that’s a trend that I’ve noticed folks like to rewrite history and exaggerate the crap out of it. At the end of the day Canelo was not awarded the win the way say Floyd was with Castillo a fight where he clearly lost.

cudda shudda wudda very close fights like Lara and GGG Sure but Canelo has yet to be awarded a clear robbery WIN the way Floyd got with Castillo. But you would never think that they way his haters love to exaggerate outcomes.

Reminds me of when people use to say Oscar could never get robbed yet got screwed over twice i the Trinidad and Mosley 2nd fight.

What round did he win?

You must mean like the three dreadful Pacquiao-Bradley fights we had to endure?

The only reason I see that Canelo could be robbed is, Haymon wants Plant - Canelo trilogy. Not a bad idea.

First thing that came to mind: "In Vegas money talks. Canelo is the money man." I don't see this fight going the distance at all. Canelo is gonna starch Plant.

On a side note: I noticed you joined the site a few days ago, so I just wanna say welcome to NSB and BoxingScene. You seem like a cool poster.

Wow, not many here who'd say that, especially to one who has admitted to being a Canelo fan. Going off the thread title and the comments I have read so far, this is one comment I wouldn.t expect to be seeing

[Mario040481]

I'm rooting for neither. I don't really care who wins. Hopefully it's a good, competitive fight.

So. you are basically rooting for boxing on the whole to get a much much needed win here?

In Vegas it's not about who's "local", it's about who's the bigger cash cow

Canelo’s power ain’t special. He injured BJS with a freak injury that wouldn’t happen 99 times out of 100, but when did he ever look like he could drop him or knock him out? He hit Callum Smith at will and never rocked him. Couldn’t put a dent in Jacobs who had been knocked out before and dropped by fighters like Mora. Never hurt Cotto who had been hurt by smaller men and stopped. the list goes on.

The only fighters he’s really dropped in recent years is Yildirim who was stopped easier and quicker by Eubank Jr..and a washed up Kovalev that had been stopped twice in the previous few fights.

He’s not feather fisted of course. He has respectable power. He’s very sharp and accurate though, which makes fighters gun shy anyway.

But in terms if sheer punch power, there’s nothing to indicate he’s anything special.

i think he can stop Plant when Plant started fading, as he does.

9 of 10 times I agree with your posts, PLUS I find it hard to get down on a fellow Kinks fan as we are few and far between out here in my opinion, but i have to disagree with this opinion.. Canelo did not put either of these guys on the canvas, you're correct there, obviously. BUT, I feel you're incorrect in saying he didn't put dents in any of those mentioned names. he hurt everyone of those names during their fights and after having done so they proceeded to fight for the "moral victory" if hearing the final bell.

oh yeah, like I said, it’s more his accurate and sharp punches that make then gun shy. Even Floyd could cut fighters work rate in half because they didn’t like sharp counters coming back.

Canelo can punch, he has more than respectable power for sure. I just don’t buy into the notion he’s some huge puncher that is going to walk through plant with big shots and knock him out with a clean KO. He could, it’s boxing, but Canelo’s history in his recent years would suggest he isn’t a fighter that generally does that to people, even when he can land plenty of shots.

The first GGG fight was the only one that could have gone to GGG.

why not just say should have gone to ggg, no way canelo won 6 rounds so thats the correct call surely, even if u are a crying fangirl u cant give nelo 6 rounds in that fight i dont think

well unless u are the bird lady who had nelo winning by 8 rounds LMAO, wtf the worst ever nearly
