    Exactly, you better be ready to shoulder roll that bch and also stay in the pocket to land punches. I don't think anyone is capable at this point plus Canelo is just a different animal at this point. That or be able to keep him at a distance all night long but good luck with that

      He was also weight drained man...and his performances post 152/5 show that. He is a much better looking fighter now at 160-175

        That defense took away his left hook for large portions of the fight.
        It wasn't difficult. He said it took him a while to figure him out. It was easy work for Canelo after the 5th round. He was still landing the left hook throughout the entire fight. He just wasn't landing it clean, but Plant exposed his body and Canelo made him pay with the body shots.

          True.

          But Plant was giving Canelo fits with that shell defense. Made him have to work overtime to break through.

            And Floyd was 36 and moving up and weight. Canelo still lost. **** off.

              He was committing genocide when he got schooled by Castillo.

                Crazy how small 5 ft 8 Floyd didn’t allow Alvarez to win a single round

                Meanwhile bigger men are going life and death with Alvarez before being ko’d

                  I wouldn't call it ''fits''
                  Nelo had a great game plan. He knew this from the press conference shoving match.

                    Man y'all superfans are sad. Not everything is about propping up your guy as being the best!!! Just appreciate all the good fighters and give them props and go from there. It ain't that difficult!!!

                      Just like it worked tonight.
                      let’s not do that mayweather and canelo had damn near the same amount of professional fights when they fought. Plus if a 23 year old mayweather called out a 36 year old fighter y’all would call it cherry picking on a older fighter.
