    Can we stop calling Plant a bum now?

    He was competitive throughout even though he never looked like he could win and that's much more than I expected of him. You can't be competitive or make Canelo work and sweat if you are a bum, he would of been exposed early.

    I like his style, shame he hasn't got a bit more power but his jab is good, his defence is good and his counters are good. The man is a good fighter.

    Plant is a top 5 fighter at 168. Never was a bum.

      Haters when Canelo fought Rocky Fielding : “Wtf?? Why is Canelo fighting a wba regular champion who Callum Smith ktfo in 1 round??? Canelo needs to stop ducking and fight the real challenges and other champs at 168 like Callum,Plant and Saunders! ”

      Haters after Canelo fought 3 undefeated champs and became undisputed in the span of 11 months: “Thise guys are bums!, he needs to fight the Dirrell,Rosado or That Benavidez guy who lost his belt by being a fat fçk!”

        He is not a bum. neither are Callum Smith and Saunders.

        Good fighter, but just not good enough to beat Canelo, like GGG was.

          He was never a bum, but he did about as good as I thought he would. He just couldnt make Canelo respect him at all, ginger was walking him down with zero fear all night.

            Most definitely.

            plant showed he’s a true elite fighter I honestly believe he’s 2nd-3rd best at 168 he’ll be champ again.

                Nobody with any boxing knowledge called him a bum.

                he’s a very good fighter. Callum Smith is a very good fighter. BJS has exceptional skills and would probably be a problem for anybody else when he’s on form and active.

                Canelo is operating on an elite level right now and has great momentum in his peak. There’s not a lot you can do when that’s the case with certain fighters.

                  I never called him a bum. I even said I would have picked him to beat Canelo if he had even respectable power.
