He needs to take a tune up vs Makabu.

Then fight Rocky Fielding on UK for a ppv superfight.

Lol

His ***ing eye socket would collapse in even more. Would probably die if he fought Makabu.

oh ok so he just found magical skills only when he fought canelo? lol.

Benavidez never mentioned BJS to unify. He wanted Plant. Canelo stole all the belts. Lol

[Thuglife Nelo]

I have it ranked as a con-man.

Lol. Canelo whooped Lil'G.

His problem is no power.

Yes he's a slick boxer with good movement and angles but when you are packing feathers it's a REAL issue because it means the top guys don't have to put too much respect on your shots and can keep loading up massive bombs and taking what would be big risks against a guy who DID have power.

Caleb Plant and BJS I call them feather duster ballerinas, pretty styles to watch, obviously have a level of class in their movement but can't punch and eventually just get clubbed out by canelo when he realized for all their great skills they can't hurt him.

All the best like nelo, bivol, spence train hard. Natural talent don't take you far

[BodyBagz]

Oh well

No sense in mentioning it now.

You only need to watch him fight to know he’s a very gifted boxer, but you just can’t sustain it at the top level without the mentality

I disagree with that

Usyk isn’t a big puncher but it doesn’t hinder him, same with Bivol. It applies to many.

Besides, you’re acting like BJS lost repeatedly. He has one loss which was caused by an eye socket injury which probably might not happen 99 times out of a hundred. It’s not like he was knocked out or even wobbled, he never looked like hitting the canvas unlike Plant. It was just a freak injury from a good shot. The fight was pretty even up until that point, and Saunders actually was really coming into the fight in the previous rounds. The broadcasters had him ahead, not the bent judges obviously.
