Face the facts, GGG is the only guy who could beat Canelo from 154-175

    Yeesh

    Floyd outboxed Canelo and Plant isnt Floyd
    If you are comparing floyd to Plant, then you have a perception problem.

      I had GGG winning the 1st fight 7-5 and Canelo the 2nd 7-5.

      3rd fight how inactive ggg Canelo hurts him badly. Already sent him to the ER twice.

      No Bueno on a 3rd

        Floyd showed you can outbox someone with even LESS power than what Plant has

        Plant lost because he was OUTBOXED...and OUTGUNNED

          That's your opinion. We don't have to agree. You out-box someone when you don't get hit. Ala Floyd, Lara, etc... You know, a clear out boxing example is Randall vs Chavez Sr., Withatker vs Chavez sr, Hearns vs Leonard (Hearns been the boxer). The ginger went thru palnt.

            That is ONE way of out-boxing. Defensive-minded outboxing that maximizes evasiveness while EFFECTIVELY counter-punching.

            Floyd was a master at the above style. JMM was also very good. Danny Garcia did it vs Matthyse.

            Plant was able to shell up successfully but so did Joshua Clottey and Mikey Garcia. Does that make Plant, Clottey, and Garcia master boxers ?!?!!

            No.

            They are all good defensive fighters. Plant was unwilling to sit on his punches for fear of what was coming back - Canelo controlled the exchanges...which is....BOXING.

            Canelo outboxed Plant

              You are not agreeing with me but, somehow you saw the same thing I did. Fear of getting hit is not being out-boxed, canelo is a good fighter that will look good against those types of fighters. Remember that he only wanted to unify, after Benavidez was stripped. Let us see what happens next. He has some better competition coming his way, much better than a fat saunders and pillow fisted smith/plant. Be safe.

                It would not be a good fight anymore, GGG is way past prime and did not look too good against Szeremeta.

                Canelo absolutely crushes him in the 3rd fight, but probably will not stop him. GGG has an iron chin.

                    Why, because we have different opinion?
