Caleb Plant is the fastest fighter in boxing p4p

We argued about Plant a year and a half ago. I said what you're saying now. You sounded over the moon about him. Have you changed your mind up on him? Honest question.

 

PBC did a good job of keeping Plant with the belt and in the weight until the big money fight showed up. If he got 10M like I've read, he did do amazing for himself there.

 

Plant is OK. Canelo sleeps him before the fifth. 'OK' isn't going to cut the mustard here.

 

Not sure. But one thing I am pretty sure of: speed is one of the most overrated qualities in fighters. Give me timing any day before speed...

 

I havent watched Plant. But i agree with this statement. Ive noticed that hand speed isnt an issue at the top level, and canelo has beaten guys with fast hands and fast feet. Canelo is a master at timing, and those vicious bodyshots will take a toll on even the quickest guys.

 

This is funny AF!!!!
You are the MAN

 

Don't get me wrong, speed is good on the whole but it's also the easiest thing to spot. It looks impressive too. But there are downsides - boxers blessed with natural speed sometimes fail to address flaws because their speed masks them. I'm thinking Khan here. He never really evolved because his speed hid otherwise glaring weaknesses. Whereas timing relies on a boxer learning his craft, understanding what an opponent does and when, etc. As you say, Canelo is a prime example.

In short, speed is a gift and timing is a skill. One of them inevitably declines over the years, the other can be improved and honed pretty much until a fighter is shot...

 

Plant has zero chance to beat Clenelo. Zero. Clenelo needs to injure both his arms and legs to lose to Plant. Plant might win a round or two early on based on his speed and as we know Clen is a slow starter usually but once Clenbuterol has figured him out he's gonna ragdoll Plant and beat him senseless.

 

@Nonito Smoak CST been vocal on Plant being average at best for years.

I only like Plant because he might be related to Robert Plant so that’s a “whole lotta love”
Also Big Red is gonna make Plant “sweat gonna make him move”

Funny cuz its true. He came to my gym to spar for the plant fight. Instead of me who weighs 168, 6 ft 1 he picks my boy lucius 154 lbs guy and my boy beats thr **** out of him. Now i know why he didnt want to spar. Woulda never made it passed my jab. Eitherway. He quit vs plant and acted when he got hurt.

 

Plant Vs canelo is the ****in most pointless fight since me against my gran

Everyone knew she'd kick **** outta me

 

Time flies. It was his first televised match(es). Wayyy before a year and a half ago. My bad.
