He is talented guy. He is the most naturally talented 168 lber behind Canelo imo. He can box and has skill set. But, he hasn't enough power. Benavidez KOs him just like Nelo. Even Ryder can outbrawl him inside. If Andrade and Charlo move up, Plant can fight them.
Can Caleb Plant be champ again??

Possibly, the 168lb division has historically always been a weak division. If Golovkin was to defeat Canelo, he most likely gets stripped by at least one organization because of politics. There's also the chance he drops all the belts and moves back down to 160lbs leaving all the titles vacant. If that were to happen and there's a chance a bunch of 2nd tier fighters will be becoming champions.Comment

Well said.
Yet with all them attributes that you mentioned, I don't even think he beats Andrade, nor Charlo and much less Videz.
I like Plant, but I don't think he becomes champ again anytime soon in the division with all them names. Tough outing definitely.Comment

Sounds like that would be the only way in which Plant would have a chance at becoming champ in the division once again.
And I see that chance very very slim of becoming a reality definitely.Comment

He probably fights Dirrell in the fall or something, I like Plant and there are interesting fights for him with Charlo, Benavidez and Morrell. Him and Charlo is a 50/50 fight I think and I can see him possibly out boxing Charlo, but I think Benavidez and Morrell both would both seem like tall orders. Canelo isn't going to keep all those belts forever and if they get scattered I can see PBC maneuvering all these guys into positions to have winnable fights to pick up vacant belts, so I don't think it's out of the question.Comment

I like his chance against Jermall at 168. He can outbox him. Andrade is different story. He is still unproven at his almost 35. Saunders would expose him badly but cancelled. Then, Zach Parker fight postponed smh.. Andrade never likes pure boxers. Plant is pure boxer.
Canelo and Benavidez 100% beats him. Ryder has a chance. 160 lbers are fantasy. They need proof.
