Canelo has the best resume at SMW, has put in more work at SMW, and is unified. Plant is just a pawn. When Canelo was moving up the ranks and fought Mayweather, he conceded to the cash cows demands understandably so.... When he was a cash cow himself and wanted to fight one of the last cash cows in Cotto he conceded to Cotto's demands. Plant isn't a cash cow, isn't as accomplished, isn't as proven, and is just a titlist at SMW not the champion. Plant needs to know his place and take that 10 mil or go back to fighting for peanuts.
Plant is either deluded or Uncle Haymon is holding his fighter back for ulterior motives just like he did Quillin.
It's easy to look slick against Uzcategui and Feigenbutz, much harder to look slick against anyone who isn't a skill less face first plodder. He's roughly Lionel Thompson level and one of the most overrated fighters in the sport. Bully for him, he was able to duplicate Korobov and Jacobs like performances, against guys who are better suited for Middleweight.
Read about how Plant treated his baby mama and how his exploited the death of his own child to further his career adn popularity. He's a grade A shitbag.
He didn't. De La Hoya was shot, and many insiders including Roach knew. To make matters worse, they knew a 147 De LA Hoya was there for the taking. DLH is just one of many fighters coming into the fight against Pac with a handicap or disadvantage.
Okay, Plant closed the gap, but Clenelo killed a sparring partner and uses boatloads of PEDs, so he's still #1.
You're too emotionally invested despite claiming that you aren't. We agree that the diva antics are worthy of scorn. That's all that matters.
Well, not to make excuses for Clenelo, but that probably wasn't intentional. Still, people shouldn't go 100% beast mode against sparring partners, who also happen to be war torn past it journeymen.
Oscar called out Pac to fight at 147. Did you want Pac to jump 3 weight classes? And it's extremely pathetic that you refuse to admit (but you know) that Clenelo is a scumbag who needs every possible advantage coming into a fight. Oh, and he's the Catchweight King and he's been popped for PEDs. Facts, not irrational and emotional hatred.
Let's not forget Clenelo broke a flyweight's jaw because he thought said flyweight was giving his girlfriend unlimited, long, drawn out orgasms.
Hey, calm down young man, take a deep breath. I don't blame Pac for fighting DLH, it doesn't change the fact that Pac's best wins are tainted.
and what you say, as well as what i say, exists in reality outside our own head. so you saying im emotionally invested means only as much as it conforms to reality. a reality everyone around us is aware of, even if you arent. people know who is emotional, they can read, they can see the reactions. so now they not only know the reality about who the emotional one is, but they also know the reality of how detached you are from it. for example, when you pretend you dont want to answer a question because its so obvious that you want them to figure it out on their own. who do you think that is fooling? who do you think is too dumb to see and figure out whats really going on? what does your reality tell you is happening in that situation?
EDIT: I had a whole big response typed up but someone brought to my attention that Caleb Plant (apparently) agreed with even that stipulation. So if the man in question thinks it's fair, no reason to get riled up about it on his behalf.
