Comments Thread For: Anthony Dirrell: I Hate Caleb Plant; He Thinks He's The **** And He's Not; He Fought One Guy

[FeFist]

Why would anybody care what Plants or any fighters attitude is? No fighter ever won a fight and got a congeniality trophy for the best attitude.

Because they are professionals?

I think as fans we need to respect the fact that we only see the tip of the iceberg. For the most part, we only see fighters when they're in the ring.

We don't see how they behave during training camp. How they behave during sparring. Whether they honoured scheduled fights on their way up etc.

I don't know much about Plant, but he could just be a difficult person to work with.

Plant is real arrogant for a guy who hasnt really proven much

I'm originally from Michigan, and would normally back any fighter with Michigan ties........but not the "stay down stay down" Dirrell brothers. Can't stand either of them.

Canelo fans are such bozos. All over this thread taking about, yeah plant does seem like a d1ck, I hate him so much too because I saw him in an interview and I didn’t like his tone . Meanwhile there are several examples of how Canelo can be perceived as an arrogant, selfish, entitled douchebag. Yall are acting like you know these guys personally over a 15 second video clip.

You seem to be glossing over the fact that it's black fighter Anthony Dirrell who is the one saying he hates Caleb Plant.

I wonder why you're trying to spin it like Canelo fans are the ones to blame.

This isn’t likely to be much of a fight,, but what can you do? As for Dirrell, try to stay classy.

Im a black guy and huge plant fan if a white guy said what dirrell said with the strong hate word he would be labeled a racist , dirrell is a straight hater i know boxing and anthony never had the skills of plant its pure hate over calebs swag confidence and him getting the dam payday he never got

You said everything I said before you so I don’t say you are hating; I say biting! LMAO

Andre not as bad though but a poor actor when it comes to being hit low while getting your ass kicked!

[SweetPbfAli]

Dirrell is a hater…literally.

[IAMTHAT]

Why is this even an article? Is boxing so lame that we need to write about how fighters feel about each other, especially a fighter thats not going anywhere but down.

The undercard is total trash and you don't have to look too hard to see why- Dirrell is on the undercard....the co-main, unfortunately. How does he KEEP getting booked for fights that we have to pay for??? They'll stick him on the undercard just to fill up the slots but he rarely gives his best nowadays.

It's like these guys (the Dirrell brothers) don't even try anymore...they just show up to a fight, throw a few punches, and look for a way out via complaining to the ref. We've seen this movie over and over again. If Benavidez was the fighter he says is, he would've completely obliterated this guy so we wouldn't have to hear from him anymore...yet, here we are.

If anything, Direrell should've been the opening fight this weekend....not the co-main. He's gonna stink it up in true Dirrell fashion!

Totally agree with the first sentence. Canelo is getting 40+ mil , plant is getting 10 mil . Boxing would be better if they distributed the wealth better . that's why there's such garbage cards . basically paying for one fight maybe 2 if we're lucky .
