Comments Thread For: Trainer Stephen Edwards excited for the future of 'man of principle' Caleb Plant

Not sparring between fights , that's really strange. I wonder if all of his trainers fighters operated like that ? Didn't any of them think that it was odd ?

Plant seems like a real arrogant douchenozzle. I don't like Dirrell but standing over an unconscious old guy and making gravedigging motions was real classy. I thought he had a shot to beat Canelo outboxing him. I don't love Canelo but it was fun watching him humble Plant. Then watching him hold on for dear life against Benavidez was hilarious.

Plant needs to shave his hipster beard, learn to act respectful towards others and beat a good fighter. As is, he is a joke.

Yet, leaps and bounds beyond anything you'll ever be.

On the other hand, if Charlo doesn't like him, that may actually be a credit to Plant. From what I can see, I don't think I would like Charlo.

And whichever one he slapped, it's fine by me. Either one is a good choice. It's not only fine by me, I respect that. It was a boss level move that showed he's a real one. And real recognizes real.

You don't have to be able to beat everyone to be real. So Canelo and Benavidez doesn't make him a punk. He still fought them and didn't just try to not get knocked out (charlo, again).

Plant grew up having to have a lot of swag... In some ways I can identify because like Plant I grew up a minority white boy, for him it was in the South, for me it was East Harlem. You learn to look good when you are tested, because if you falter, you will get tested a lot more lol. Plant has that antagonism, that in your face energy... I never really thought of it as a bad thing... Man he slapped the manhood out of Charlo! Or was it the other twin?

Maybe I misinterpreted the "no sparring" part. It seems to be saying he only spars in training camp for the fight, just not in between camps. So he is sparring in preparation for the fight, just not in between camps.

I've always liked Plant.

I think he could be really good for the sport of boxing if he gets his shxt together & puts some big fights together.

I had no idea dude didn't spar in between fights.

It's amazing he got as far as he did doing that.
