    Golovkin fights Plant instead of Plant fighting Benavidez. GGG decides he wants one more chance against Canelo to get it right, but has to defeat Plant to get that shot. Who wins and how?

    I like that fight, I still think Golovkin would be able to pull it off, whether by boxing with his fundamentals & jab or going all out in power,

    Who you got?

    GGG has not got the legs to cut him off anymore. Plant by decision.

    He does suck,

    Hope the Benavidez fight doesn't get cancelled by any shenanigans either as Plant really has never wanted that fight,

    He's forced to take it now because he desperately wants the Canelo rematch(payday) & people on the comment sections have him thinking he can actually beat him if he were to have another shot "delusional much" & if he doesn't fight him & turns around only to see the likes of Andrade or Charlo waiting in the cut then he gets nothing for his efforts & at least with David he has more of incentive,

    Either option Plant choose an Ass whopping commences.

    Plant by UD , Golovkin is too slow at this point and age has taken his reflexes also.

    Old GGG vs The New & Improved Plant, still believe Golovkin can get the job done.

    GGG is the far better fighter, but,,, in a higher weight class and pushing 41? I wouldn't bet on him.....

    I think Plants lack of activity & power with the fact his style isn't pressuring will allow Golovkin to box thoroughly & even hurt him if the chance arrives,

    GGG has a lot in his arsenal with his vary of punches, Plant likes to play counterpuncher & Gennady's power alone will keep Plant trepidatious.

    I believe Golovkin at supermiddle weight is very strong and his durability is through the roof. Canelos punches were like feather dusters to GGG. When GGG decided to come forward and started to get ornery, Canelo couldn't keep him off. Canelo would throw a bomb right on the botton and nothing. So Plant would have to try and outbox GGG, who is a great boxer. I think Golovkin would learn his Canelo 3 lesson and start pressing on the gas earlier, coming on stronger and stronger later in the in the fight. I think Golovkin stops him late, maybe 8th or 9th round. Golovkin would have nothing to fear, as Plant wouldn't be able to faze him. Golovkin kept Canelo honest through the entire 3rd fight, with his quick jab and responsible defense, he kept Canelo on his toes. This fight wasnt what i , or anyone else was expecting, but it was close and Canelo knew he was in a fight.

    Stephen ''Breadman'' Edwards says Sweet Hands KO'd two of his sparring partners Dirrell style in camp for The Dog. Said he laid them out cold with one shot and they'd brought in real good fighters to spar for that camp too.

    But ain't no man can put GGG to sleep though. That Eurasian iron mandible is bulletproof, even this shot geriatric versions is
