I’m not saying Breadman is on the same level as Roach. Far from it.

I was responding to this malarkey, “ he hasn't done much in sport but talk talk talk.”

Breadman just raised his profile with Plant. This is coming from a guy who wasn’t a pro boxer.

Knocking on him is just petty.

Hunter had one guy just like Roger Mayweather had one guy.

Boxing is a tough sport as it is and yet we have people nitpicking things because they disagree with Breadman or anyone for that matter

I am in Tennessee. my kids fought out of a gym in Tn. there were couple pros there who grew up through the SEC amateur system with Plant. I've seen him spar a ton. and he has gotten better through pro ranks. but I can't see where broadband has done much with him myself. do you see the change? I like bread man half the time. but he does say some loopy sheet and gets carried away. saying Wilder was a GUN in same mail bag etc etc. he has 1 win with plant and 1 pretty one sided loss with plant. on those 2 fights levels of opposition, that pretty much who plant has always been.

Deontay wilder is a gun


How can anyone take this seriously? He took easy fights, even fury was supposed to be done, that was just a scouting failure

I do agree about Wilder. Wilder is as GUN as a drunk skunk . I respect Bread’s opinion but that’s some crazy talk for sure.
Plant did not gas out when he fought Benavidez. Based on what I saw, that Plant would have a shot at beating Canelo if they had a rematch.

More important, Plant was never going to beat Benavidez so whether it was Breadman or Roach or anyone, he would have still lost.

Plant is really good. I just don't see him as top tier guy. Just below. I ALWAYS root for him in fights though
