    I mean not really. It is what it is. People are a product of their environment.

    You are not making any sense now. So you agree that he is/was marketable?
    Of course he was bound to crash and burn at/near the top, no one denied that. We all were expecting that to happen. But everyone knows why he got that title shot. Dude is marketable to casual fans(who know jack all about actual boxing skills and techniques).

    And no, amateurs at your gym could not outbox him :lol: Mike Lee was actually a Golden Gloves champ.

    The IQ on this forum is alarmingly getting lower.

    The story I just read about him over at the Scene he is a real scum **** heartless, soulless SOB. He basically stole the mother of his deceased daughters backstory that PBC always carries on about. Dude talked her into inducing labor early so he could go to Boxing tournament in Colorado. He was in Colorado when the mother called him with the news their daughter was very ill. Caleb loses his fight their, so he and his father get really pissed and guilt trip the mother for calling with the news before his fight instead of waiting. And it just gets worse from there, Plant stole everything he went through from what the mother of his daughter actually went through. For the funeral he couldn't even be bothered to help with arrangements he and a friend went suit shopping while the mother had to deal with it all again. Then the dude completely cuts her out and doesn't even mention her name when talking to FOX or reporters about what he had to go through. You should read the article.

    He grew up in the hood. Look at that Youtube video of him fighting in the project. We had a couple of white dudes who grew up in my old hood they were loved and respected and were part of the crew just like everyone else. Charlie was cool as **** and was killed in a car accident years ago may he RIP.

    That's a tough situation. Caleb Plant if that article is true seems too self centered and too callous.

    I got to say though the guy when the baby was born had to be around 20 or 21. That is too young for any man to have a child in my opinion. Maybe for women it's ok at that age. You might be physically capable of fathering a kid. But it's too young to be financially and emotionally ready to be a father. Caleb was trying to establish himself as a top amatuer and eventually a prizefighter who could make a living.

    Now it appears hes accomplished that goal.

    We all make sacrifices and choices in life.

    Only God can judge you. The guy was 20 years old with an opportunity to make a better life for himself and possibly even his family.

    Keep things in perspective.

    Firstly, WTFF are you talking about??? Plant didn't grew up in working class white America. He's from the ghetto. You see that his mom had drug problems, and just got killed by the cops for Christ sake! You make it seem like he was born with a silver spoon.

    Secondly, you seem to be insinuating that black American culture is NOT something "decent" people should be influenced by.

    Either way, you sound like an idiot and you should **** off.

    1. Working class means lower income.

    2. I'm not a racist, I dont like to be called a racist, its insulting.

    3. I never said or implied that black American culture is for degenerate people.

    4. You're very emotional.
