Comments Thread For: Caleb Plant: I Want To Fight Canelo, They're Hoping Sheep Will Follow Him

IMO Plant loses to Benavidez.
That's why I tend to side with the posters saying that Haymon didn't give Plant the green light to fight Canelo.
Haymon won't risk losing that tilte to any fighter not affiliated with PBC.

Why doesn't Canelo fight _____? Fill in the blank from the following list: Benavides, Charlo, Andrade, Bivol, Beterbiev, Smith, Saunders, Ryder.

No matter who Canelo fights next some is going to say, "Why doesn't Canelo fight _____"?

stop it, do you really think the names that have been mentioned in Smith, Saunders and murota are the best options available?? How about if it's worded by saying, Canelo should face someone who isn't 35 and older, isn't coming off a poor performance or isn't considered C class?

This PAB needs to sit down and stay quiet. He had his opportunity and decided to run the other way. Now let the real warriors speak.

What's a PAB?
I don't blame Plant. Canelo is always doing this. He trains for months and then wants his prospective opponent to have a shortened camp after just fighting. I don't care if Canelo is the A-side and the cash cow and all that bs, he's trying to take advantage. If you're so good Canelo, why not give your opponents equal time to train?

There is no guarantee that Canelo's future will be at 168, his May fight will be at 168 only because he just jumped 2 weights to fight at 175 and doesn't want to lose that much weight overnight his next fight. He wants to slowly go back down to 160. l

The reason Canelo has been able to jump back and fourth between weights is because of clenbuterol. If he goes back to middleweight we know he's on the tainted meat again which enables him to lose weight quickly while retaining muscle mass. Any idiot could see this but Canelo fanatics obviously choose to ignore that part of the equation. He's been juicing for years. If anyone else got caught with so much dope in their system they would be a laughing stock. Not Canelo though, he's exempt from any criticism. Dillian Whyte tests positive for trace amounts of a substance consistent with contamination from an energy drink and he's a pariah. Canelo is juiced to the gills to the point where Oscar and the Reynosios couldn't even buy off the testing agencies and he's given a free pass. That doesn't seem right to me.

Canelo fights basically twice a year. By early next year no matter who he fights there will still be no demand or flack for Canelo to fight Plant lol whether Canelo fights at 160, 168, 175 he has

GGG III
Andrade
Charlo
Munguia
all will be bigger fights then Plant at 160

Guys at 175 that he could fight at that weight or catchweight
Gilberto Ramirez
Beterbiev

And this isn't even accounting for a unknown dark horse fighter at a lower weight jumping up to fight Canelo like a Errol Spence.

Plant is way down the list bruh and we both agree we don't even see him getting by Benavidez next year.

Plant doesn't fight at 160. I'd argue that fighting an undefeated champion at 168 in Plant beats a fighr with overrated Munguia or a third fight with Golovkin that very few people want to see. GGG is even older now. What chance does he have?

No way Canelo is fighting Beterbiev at 175. I would give him all the credit in the world, juiced or not, if he even fought Beterbiev.

No way in hell is Spence jumping up 2 weight classes (at least) to fight Canelo. He still doesn't want to fight Crawford at WW when he has the size advantage.

The fight is on May 2. We are in March already. Plant needs weeks to rest so it's impossible for him to take this fight. The Canelo camp knows this and they want Plant for that reason. In the championship rounds you will gas out if you over train. The Canelo camp is shiat tbh. If it's not the weight it's something else they wanna use. They don't usually want 50-50 fights. You have to be green, too old, weight drained, over trained , dodgy judges or some ****ty thing. This is why there are many people who don't rate this guy.

Exactly! Finally someone with some common sense and objectivity. Thanks bro.

I think DAZN’s announcement for May (opening around the world) has a lot to do with the postponement for Canelo’s opponent. It’s actually huge news and it affects the global buys for May around the world. Something big about to go down. We’re talking about a new phase in metrics unheard of.

Weren't you the guy who was the Tank Davis fanboy? Now you have a picture of Fury. Did you abandon Tank? What's up bro?

[theface07]

Ruiz did it with less time and beat Joshua and Canelo did the same turnaround after beating GGG to fight Fielding. Almost 3 months from 1 fight to the next is not unheard of. Especially when you are young and coming off non competitive fights. Fighters used to fight routinely 5 times a year at world class level. lol Definitely not strange for a 1 off when you are coming of a cupcake stay busy mismatch and have a shot at the biggest fighter in your sport. If you need more then 3 months to rest when you haven't fought a live opponent?

Fielding? Bahahahaha. Are you serious? Fielding was a Euro level fighter! You can't compare Canelo having a quick turnover to fight Rocky Friggin Fielding to Plant having a quick turnover to fight Canelo. That's just crazy talk.

Weren't you the guy who was the Tank Davis fanboy? Now you have a picture of Fury. Did you abandon Tank? What's up bro?

Nobody on this forum would say Young Bidness was a “Tank fanboy.” I mean, how much stank steams from his bootyhole while he wears his pants hanging down? That’s prison code

Hey to his is fighting plant,not baseball of some other sport.now I'm a fighter,and I know the game,so let's be honest.ok plant you have no power that a fact,but you can box,your over all skill set is a little above average.i think you should have took the canelo fight, because it is a great money maker for you.so the good side of it was you are supposed to lose,and that's what the public will say,but imagine if you win, you are an instant Superstar, and you are white,so that means alot of green from then on.niw if you fight David,and lose you are never going to get a shot again.so think about that,I personally like you ,and I'm rooting for you,so I hope I'm wrong,and when the big test comes you pass with flying colors.it would be nice to have an American champ for a change,that's white,and I'm not raceist I just would like to seen,a good white guy for once, because we all root for are race good luck.
