What if Caleb Plant were to convincingly outbox Canelo

This is Olu... Who thinks Tank Davies stands a chance of beating Josh Taylor... You don't need this post to have a good chuckle.

 

Ok, i think Plants rubbish

Better?

 

Saunders was talented, but he looked like crap in the fights before he fought Canelo. Going into Canelo Saunders the common theme that people were saying was Saunders could win but plenty of people doubted what kind of condition Saunders was in or if he would be at his best.

Plant isn't inconsistent like Saunders has been since he fought Lemiuex. Plant has looked better than Saunders did in the lead up to fighting Canelo. Plant also doesn't have mental issues like Saunders. Plant unlike Saunders is a bigger guy who's a legit full fledged SMW. Don't you think these factors make him more dangerous for Canelo? Plant is a much better fighter than Saunders was earlier this year before he fought Canelo. He's bigger, he's not inconsistent like Saunders, he's clearly training harder. He has more physical advantages on Canelo than Saunders did. Saunders never showed upper body movement.

Again if we're talking about Saunders when he fought David Lemiuex, I would agree that Saunders had faster feet back then and maybe was more elusive than Plant is now. That Saunders would give Canelo problems, but that wasn't the fighter who fought Canelo in May. We can't take a version of a fighter that existed once many years ago and compare him to a current fighter and say a version of somebody in the past was better. We take who Plant is now, and right now he's better than Saunders ever was at SMW, Plant is better now than Saunders was when he fought Canelo.

 

For whats it worth, i think unifying is a great achievement
Esp with time frame it looks be getting done within

But lets not kid ourselves
The least dramatic part has been saved for last

 

plant is going to get the beating of his life. he will know he is on a much lower level than he thought he was.

 

I struggle to see how people can't see this

 

These same guys thought Billy Jane Saunders and Callum Smith had a good chance.

 

Laugh at yourself and ask why are my picks usually right. Maybe I have a great eye for boxing and know what I am talking about.

 

It would show that European and British boxing is in the bin.

 

Na, he is referencing me Olu

I though Smith had little chance and Saunders a slim one

 

Are they? Got any proof you can point to?

The two examples in hand (that Canelo-Plant is close and that Tank beats Taylor) suggest heavily to the contrary... We're talking levels apart in both cases.

 

If Plant were to convincingly outbox Canelo, I'm predicting that this would resemble the Golovkin situation. Canelo seems to be protected by the judges so the best Plant can probably do is get a draw but gain a victory with the fans though.

 

I gave them 2 chances slim and none and advised slim left town.
