James has got opinions about every fight but the ones that matter most.
So it he is not talking Spence vs Crawford, Charlo 'light' vs Tszyu, or Charlo 'extra chunky' vs anybody at last, he is just blowing smoke outta of his...you know.

Plant has to be in the best condition hes ever been in cause benavidez is gonna be throwing and throwing and throwing. I agree with james, clinch david when he gets close then get back to an active jab on the outside

What you're saying makes no sense whatsoever He's only answering questions that are asked of him, otherwise James doesn't talk very much.

Also, when it comes to Errol and Charlo, what do expect? That he's going to say more than he's allowed to? Tszyu and Charlo are MANDATORY and Spence and Crawford are still in negotiations with a possibility of the fight happening in June.

As a trainer he's not going to give the game plan away, lol.

When he says plants movement to offset benavidez is he referring to making David constantly reset unable to throw those signature combinations in mid range?

I noticed bivol done this to canelo making him constantly reset and landing only single digits per round.

Talk about Spence vs. Crawford, Mr. James. Oh, wait...

Talking all that mess isn't going to get the fight signed any quicker. Can't you email Spence and Crawford and berate them so we haven't got to deal with the nuisance of all your noise.

Some people so dammmm simple! Y'all know the one's I'm speaking of too!

On my opinion for Caleb to have the best chance at winning he has to be more economical with his defense.

Not so much movement and make use of a high guard because Benavidez throws so many punches and has size over him that you are going to have to catch shots on your guard.
