Comments Thread For: Plant: I Fought Canelo & Was Winning 6-4, I'm Not Ducking, Scared Of Anybody

He isn’t just talking. He is answering reporters/journalists. In this case he is being questioned on The Good Fight by Kate Abdo. So yell at her for asking him questions.

Future reference: Boxers don’t just randomly make posts on boxingscene, or call Big Poppa Pump, to say what’s on their mind. They are interviewed. Which I understand it is a very difficult concept for about 99% of posters to grasp.

You know, you can respond without personifying your opinion with your insults. I mean I could do the same and turn this into the typical vitriol.

Plant has said he wants a rematch with Canelo. He said if he cleans up the top guys (we all know who they are), then he deserves to get a rematch. I think that’s fair.
Plant can make it super easy by going after Benavidez. If he beats him then a fight with Canelo is almost guaranteed. Benavidez is the proverbial boogeyman at 168 and a loss to Plant destroys any chance of a Canelo fight.,

Now, to your response, Plant has suggested Dirrell. Hence my post. Dirrell is a non-factor for Plant. So he can respond to all the questions he’s being asked, bottom line is let boxing fans know you are interested and are pushing for a Charlo or Benavidez fight. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
How come Plant hasn’t fought after his loss to Canelo while Canelo is about to go into his 2nd fight even after a loss? These guys aren’t serious. They are looking for that lottery check.

They're waiting for Benavidez announcing his next fight.
They'll come out as soon as David got a fight scheduled.

You can add Morrell in there, BTW.

Yeah, it's a pretty big stable, yet they all have concerns.
I say "concerns" because "scared," "cowards" are too harsh to utter.

True. So now the list of 160-168 fighters in the PBC House:

Lara
Plant
Adames
Charlo
Derevyanchenko
Dirrell
Benavidez
Morrell

All of them except Morrell, Lara and Benavidez haven't been seen in the ring for seven months to a year.
Everyone thought inhouse fights are easy to make. It's not the case, obviously.

[brettWall]

I would like to see Lara vs. Adames, and Charlo vs. Benavidez! Unfortunately, I think Charlo wants to wait, hope, wish, and pray for the Canelo train o stop in Houston! He's nothing like his Brother!

Adames, Charlo, Derevyanchenko were all very much available for Lara. Yet he picked an unknown fighter who hasn't even fought on the PBC platform. You see the pattern? These guys just won't fight each other. Jermall Charlo also picked Sulecki, another non PBC guy, instead of what are clearly better options in his own side of the street.

Boxing should have a rule....if a fighter feels he is winning, he should be allowed to stop the fight and have it go to the cards.

They don't have that problem at 147 and 154! Don't understand what's the problem @ 160 and 168? I'm most disappointed by Jermall Charlo because he can pick & choose any of the fighters in both divisions, and just doesn't want to challenge himself, hoping for a Canelo fight!

Thats not what most people are saying. Just like Kovaquit, Kovaquit was way up on my card when he got stopped but the fixed judges scores to say different.

What are most people saying? Plant won the first 4 on my card. After that it was all canelo.

As for Kovalev being way up. I didn't see that at all. Once again I had canelo 6-4 up after 10. A few swing rounds in there though. Kovalev could have been 6-4 up

Most people are saying Plant was up and if you think Kovaquit was down, YDKSAB.

Give me your scorecards

Give me your scorecards

I'll get the Kovalev one to you, only saw bits of Plant and the bits I saw, he was shitting on Cleneloterol.

Lots of legit fights can be made in that list.
