Comments Thread For: Plant: November 6, It's Going Down; First Undisputed Super Middleweight Champ And You're Looking At Him

[Verus]

Nah he really isn't. Redballs had the opportunity to take a real fight. Instead he took this one.

What part of "undisputed" do you not understand?

Too bad Plant is not fighting Benavidez first. David B would have beaten him to a pulp, they have personal issues.

[Southpawology]

Yes…as well as Uzcategui. And the fact that he actually can fight and that again, he isn’t a cream puff who will just show up to give his title away like the scouser did. If that makes you emotional that’s on you cousin

Uzategui is a C level fighter lol. Plants entire resume is filled with cream puffs sorry that hurts your feelings.

Floyd Mayweather a fighter who is not regarded as a big puncher, at welterweight deterred and beat Canelo Alvarez 12- 0 - 12 - 1 easy.

As great as Floyd Mayweather is, Carl Froch, Joe Calzaghe, Bernard Kopkins, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank Senior any top elite level middle weight from the 90's and early 2000's would most likely beat him.

At no point in history other than now, would Alvarez be able to yoyo up and down the weight divisions and pick fights 'Like a kid picking candy out of a sweet shop'.

The middle weight divisions are way way below par, full of fighters who are just not all-time great in terms of ability.

Canelo Alvarez to is credit, is exploiting them all.

Carl Froch would go through Alvarez as if he was made of paper mache, there would be a point in the fight where he just goes straight through hiim etc.

Note: Alvarez has got bigger since he fought Mayweather, but I don't think he has technically got any better. It is pretty clear that his movement is even worst now, than it was then.

Both Calzaghe, Froch and FLoyd are haters and overrated.

I always said Plant has the style to trouble Canelo. Lately, he’s sat in the pocket too much for my liking however. If he uses his legs a little bit more, he has a better chance. Keep Canelo on the outside.

I wasn’t sold on Plant early on when he was a contender, but he’s won me over in the past few years.

I think Plants better than a lot of people realize.

Plant is a decent fighter but Benavidez and Canelo beat him.

Canelo is quickly becoming the Floyd of this era. In that no matter what he does, ppl will try and diminish his legacy like steroids and ducking boxers who aren't on his level. Nov 6 will cement that.

Yes…as well as Uzcategui. And the fact that he actually can fight and that again, he isn’t a cream puff who will just show up to give his title away like the scouser did. If that makes you emotional that’s on you cousin

Plant has always evaded Benavidez. Plant barely defeated Uzcategui ( who didnīt train for that fight ), and his other wins were against bums, which Benavidez could have beaten on the same night.

For all the accolades that he receives, I do think Canelo is just a bit over rated. But it isn't really Canelo's fault. The competition in the 160-175 division is really thin. The belt holders for each division have relatively low competitions. Its one of the weaker divisions. On that note, he is going to ransack through Plant. I just want to see Canelo against better competition.

[Jab jab boom]

Talk about doing the least in a group project and wanting all the credit. He won his IBF belt in 2019, sat on it the entire time, never unifying, now, NOW he's talking about it being his dream to unify the belts when Canelo is the one that did all the leg work? LOL!

I hope he gets his ass beat bad.

All the leg work? Lmaoooo. Canelo beat two mediocre brits and was handed a third title by the wbc for free. Don’t act like he was out here facing murderers row. Neither canelo nor Plant ever made an effort to fight Benavidez when he had the wbc belt who is the most dangerous fighter in the division. It’s fine to say plant wants more credit than he deserves but you’re giving canelo extra credit for average work at the same time.

I had Andre Dirrell beating Carl Froch and Jose Uzi was beating Andre down...

Dirrell didn't beat anything. He disengaged way too much.

Oh, and Dirrell was shot when he fought Uzi. Haha.
