    Here he is in a street fight.


    I think he might be a fringe contender to top 12 type.

    According to the commentary guy on his most recent fight Plant said: everybody has a plan until they miss their first forty punches.

    So far he's been carefully matched and I think he may have had a bit of good luck in his last fight since his opponent had a nagging knee injury.

    Nice skills.

    Lacks a bit of power and explosiveness though.

    Plant would probably beat bum ass Junior.

    But for real, I don't see any elite talent in him. He'd lose to Benavidez.

    Hard not to root for him though, having lost his daughter at 19 months old.

    My son is currently 19 months old, and I couldn't even imagine going through that.

    future world champion. beats truax tomorrow if you put him in.. same with Benavidez.. I think he would school Benavidez and would have him swinging at air for 12 rounds. rameriz would be his biggest test.

    LOL.

    Benavidez would beat the Hell outta Plant.

    You do know that Benavidez destroyed the guy Plant went the distance with on Saturday, do you?

    so what? medina is taylor made for a big puncher like Benavidez... its a easy ko for Benavidez... plants movement,quickness and style would have Benavidez looking like eubank 2.0 .
