    Both David Benavidez & David Morrell whom he refused to fight already did!

        I'd go with Morrell

        I think he's going to go back down after the Benavidez fight.

          Kinda hard to say you're the king once you start avoiding the live dogs in the division.

            I'd say Plant is in the best position. The two tough guys are Sadjo at 32 and Mbilli but neither are world beaters, strong but IMO they can be out boxed . Pacheco is very young, well trained and promoted, if he lets the other guys beat one another up a bit, he will be the heir apparent.
            Plant has the skills but glaring weaknesses like stamina and lesser punching power compared to plenty of top fighters at 168. He can beat top guys but is susciptable to losing to contenders like McCumby.

            Sadjo and Mbilli are close to the end stages of their careers by the time Alvarez retires and Pacheco's frame is filling up, which will make it hard to stick to Super Middleweight with a 6'4 height. He likely move up in two years or perhaps even less.

              super middle used to be derided and laughed at on boxing forums over the years as not being a worthy weight class at all

                Plant is another PBC overhyped fighter has never fought anyone good and when he has he has lost .

                  Mbilli already ducked Pacheco. Those two should be fighting.

                    The next super middleweight king to succeed Canelo Alvarez could emerge from a pool of talented fighters in the division. Potential candidates include David Benavidez, known for his aggressive style and power, or Jermall Charlo, should he move up in weight. <a href="https://www.calculatebrasize.com/">Bra Size Calculator</a>​ Rising stars like Caleb Plant and international prospects may also stake their claim, setting the stage for an exciting future in the division.
