    i love plant but even a faded GGG I would say stops him in the late rounds once he gets tired.. plant is great but his stamina after 8-9 rounds isn't the best...

    Thanks for the info. I know how seriously he takes this so I'm not surprised that's his focus, but I'm glad Caleb's got a team around him to help make it happen now. I strongly think the best is yet to come for him.

    Plant is so vocal & passionate I think ggg will really have to play it cool. Plant is bi polar goes 0-100 mph.

    I would rate Uzcategui over Lemieux. Lemieux has more power but is far more crude imo.

    Plant would win at this point.

    Prime GGG would have won, and quite easily, but my gut and eye-test says this could be a very tough fight now.

    I suspect Plant would outbox GGG clearly.

    Triple G has visibly slowed up in the past few years. He's nowhere near the physical force he was up until about 2014/15. I know Kell Brook goes on and on about how he created a blueprint yada yada yada … but there's some truth in the fact Triple G has shown signs of decline since that fight. Hell, I'm 1 month older than Triple G and I can feel the years catching up getting out of bed on cold mornings!

    The years and the fights and the blocking of shots with one's head are catching up with Golovkin, and the decline will only (as it ever does) accelerate.

    That's why I don't want Golden Boy to engineer a trilogy match up next year because at 38 and with so many miles on the clock I think Triple G will get stopped. And I don't want to see Canelo get a trilogy based on one stolen draw; one sketchy win; then a stoppage of an aged and declined great.

    No way does Golovkin or Canelo fight Plant. A slick boxer makes you look bad

    We have no idea how "easily" a prime Golovkin would beat Plant, cause the bottom line is that Golovkin didn't have the BALLS to fight any suppermiddleweights.

    What we know for sure is that Caleb Plant is a helluva lot better than Matthew Macklin, Daniel Geale, Lemieux, and Stevens.

    And btw. Plant is alright but nothing much. Alvarez would definitely beat him.

    GGG looked so slow in his last fight. And his power is not what it once was. Would rather see a young guy like Canelo fight Plant on his way down to 160. That would be a good fight. Plant is underrated and very slick. It’s a safe fight for Canelo because I don’t see him losing on the cards and don’t think plant can KO him.

    Prime GGG sparks Plant but this version loses on the cards. I don’t think he has the gas in the tank to beat the bigger younger guy. He barely got by Chenko.
