    No, David ''El Bebe'' Benavidez is the man to beat at 168 and I've been saying that all along. Granted 168 is a graveyard division right now but Benavidez is a beast and he'd beat the crap out of Pretender Plant, BJS 2.0 who is a 160 pounder, and Clenelo who wants no part of him whatsoever.

    I think plant is skilled enough not to get that crap beaten out of him by anybody. If he doesnt want to get hit, hes not getting hit and thats that.

    He might be slick enough to stem the tide for the first half of the fight but even if he is Benavidez will drown him in the second half.

    & David Benavidez but both of these guys don’t have the resume. I wouldn’t put money on either until I see them against better ops.

    I agree. I think Plant is a highly skilled slickster, with great stamina, and can outbox Benevidez for 12 rounds if he wanted to.

    Well said. No more soft ass, cute white boys please. The Ghost of Kelly Pavlik ain't walkin' through that door anytime soon.

    We need a goddamn hungry dog coming in to take heads off. Charlo or Benavidez. It's time now. It's been time.

    Plant isn't a Southpaw but he must have been encouraged watching this fight!

    While Plant has the speed and footwork advantage he does not have tje power to keep Canelo honest.

    Caleb Plant is going to get murdered. That slight feeling i had that plant could give Canelo issues is gone, reduced to Atoms.

    It's going to be a one sided ass whoopin just like the one he gave Smith

    Sadly not likely he will win vs clen, I don't see that he does have enough power to KO special pig.
