    You will see. And you'll be shocked. Like sticking a finger into an electrical outlet.

    I like Plant but I don't give him any real chance vs Canelo

    Was kind of hoping the negotiations would flop and he would fight Bivol or Beterbiev

    Being undisputed at 168 is much more sensible than obscure and dangerous journey at 175.

    Plant blows.

    THey fixed the fight vs Uzagheghi or w/e his name was . It was obvious. Dude had plant winded and busted up, but was pulling his punches and never pressed the action. PBC paid dude off to take an L.

    Ya I cant argue too much here... I feel these are indeed issues.

    The only silver lining here is, he seems like a relatively intelligent individual with a decent boxing iq, Id hope hes aware of some of these skill and style flaws and are working on them behind the scenes.

    But yes I agree on a lot of those points.

    its a great accomplishment but it feels predetermined, I think the guys I listed are more interesting fights

    Overall though, I tend to feel he gets too much shtick. Hes a solid fighter even with these flaws, and tge combination of his age, size, skill, momentum and motivation will make for an intriguing opponent, imo.

    I personally think this is a complicated fight for Canelo.

    I agree with you that this is a much more complicated and tougher fight for Canelo than people realise.
