Plant copies Floyd too much. Any highly athletic boxer could mimic that if you paid them well to troll that style. It’s no coincidence Plant to Vegas and be part of TMT gym. We’ve seen other variants like Berto or Broner but more in a stationary range to prove they can ****.
The problem with copying styles is tragic when the time comes to face an elite who knows what they doing to expose that style. Plant process defensive tricks from combo hitters the way Floyd could. Look how many time Feigenbutz rag dolled Plant to the ropes, both sloppy tumbling over one another...
You know what happens when fighters snap in awareness when fighting Canelo. Nowadays it seems they abandon styles they’re known for and are super precautious. I could see Plant fans upset that he froze up against Canelo, and I’m willing to bet he’ll do that to Smith too and Benavidez.
I hope I’m dead wrong. I know I come off as pessimistic or skeptic with Plant vs other elites, but I hope he improves because my worry is people won’t give credit to Canelo when he finishes Plant a lot easier than people expect. Canelo got Torpedo like accuracy nowadays only guys like Beterbiev imho would give Canelo hell tbh...
But like i said I hope I’m wrong, so that when the time comes for Plant Canelo people don’t see it one sided. We need it to be seen as highly competitive.
