Comments Thread For: Plant: I Wasn't Overly Impressed With Canelo; Callum Smith Didn't Go Out On His Shield

Plant vs David.... winner vs Canelo

Man, I would love this, but won't happen. Plant will sit on the sidelines and wait until September to cash out vs. Canelo.

[pesticid]

I disagree, I won't say that it will be an easy fight for Canelo because it won't but I don't think that Plant has what it requieres to beat Alvarez, this is is what is all about for me:

I'm a guy lo loves to make breakdowns and love to read breakdowns specially from trianers like Edwards and Davison, there is one thing that caught my attention about what Edwards said in twitter, I'm paraphrasing but he basically said that the guys who give Canelo most trouble are smaller and faster guys than him like Mayweather, Trout and Lara, Guys at higher weights are slower and less mobile than those guys I just mentioned plus Alvarez has what Edwards calls fast processing IQ.

For me the thing is this, yes, Plant is a great boxer but he is not faster than Alvarez, he doesn't has better IQ than him, he doesn't posess the power to make him think twice like GGG has, he's never been on that big stage, Uzcategui nor Truax won't prepare him for a dude who has seen it all in Alvarez.

I'll gladly eat my crow and come back to say I was wrong but I just don't see it, really hoping to see that fight either on May or Sep for the undisputed status.

From what I've seen and this is just my humble opinion because I've been wrong sometimes (almost never lol) I only see 3 guys at SMW who might give him fits or very close or tough fights:

Charlo, Benavidez and probably Melikuziev, the last one has to beat Kovalev which I do think he will.

Melikuziev? I've been watching Melikuziev fight for years as an amateur and he's always had a horrible stamina. His style of fighting is explode and go hard with every short. Melikuziev is only good for 5 rounds against top level opposition.

Who you talking about?

Plant just signed to fight his latest cherry(Trauxe) on less notice than he turned down Canelo before,& less than Smith got

[elfag]

that barak show on DAZN is ******ed, those hosts dont know chit about boxing, why do they even have them on there, are their relatives execs at DAZN or some chit

[Rip Chudd]

Weird cause nobody is overly impressed with Plant's opposition since he acquired that title

[SUBZER0ED]

The way Smith fought Canelo was pathetic. To be that much taller, with that much of a reach advantage and not use it? Freaking sad! He could have stood nearly a foot away from Alvarez and jabbed him to death.

[DougalDylan]

Plants just an oxygen thief at this point. He should get his chance about September, bet he ducks again.

[ShoulderRoll]

At least Callum Smith had the courage to take the fight.

Caleb Plant turned it down to fight Truax instead.

This dude mowed over everyone in the SM tournament

Like fook he did. Struggled to look good against Skoglund and Holzken, despite what the scorecards would have someone believe. Groves he KO'ed, but it was competitive until then. That's not "mowing over everyone" by any stretch.

But he was rightfully considered top of the heap at SMW, I'll give him that.

Says the man who continues to fight scrub after scrub..

FOH PUNK!!
