And besides Gary Russell Jr. Who is getting a little long in the tooth is anybody even close? Perhaps a prime Usyk and that's about it. But Plants lack of inside game, stamina problems and weak punch could be his undoing. Also, his competition has been so poor. I have a love hate relationship with Plant. His style is so graceful and elegant. But hes also a little grating annoying douchebag. Hopefully he can shock the world. We all know Canelo hates speed.
To put things into their proper perspective. Plant schooled Uzcategui for 7 rounds, then the pressure started getting to him. That to date is is best performance. One that Korobov already beat him to and Lionel Thompson replicated. Then he beat up Feigenbutz. Something De Carolis beat him to twice. Not to mention his recent performance against Truax, which wasn't close to as impressive as Danny Jacobs win over him. The skillset of Plant has been grossly exaggerated. Canelo annihilates this fake clown.
Canelo fought with fast guys like Khan, Trout, Saunders, Jacobs and reacted all of them. Saunders fought with 21% punch accuracy against Canelo and was hitting air. Plant won't be different.
Sooooo..... uh who is faster than Plant? I see a lot of people unable to reconcile with the fact hes got the quickest hands in the fight business.
This thread is whack AF. Is Plant even in Top 10? 1) Pacquiao 2) Ryan Garcia 3) Russell 4) Crawford 5) Inoue (look closer — this dude is fast of feet and hands) 6) Benevidez 7) Lomachenko 8) Rigondeaux 9) Clenelo 10) Okay, maybe he's #10.
Mike lee is the biggest bum at any weight that has ever got a title shot in the history. I called him out to his face after 3 fights and he was legit scared in his gay notre dame gear.
