Got to credit Plant for a superb con job. Managed to turn a victory over Uzcat into two PPVs against Canelo and Benavidez. My goodness, talk about a grift job on the boxing community. Credit to him in that sense, a random C+ level fighter turned a single victory over a borderline journeyman into tens of millions of dollars. **** it, if I was him I'd retire with my 15 million and call it a day.
He can still make a ton of money as the gatekeeper. Plant is a name that many will want on resume . Plant is also Decent enough that you have to be at your best to beat him. I’d watch his fight. They’ve been entertaining and if you think you are someone at 168 then you should be able to beat him.
He can still be involved in big fights at fringe world level, still only 30. As a Brit I wouldn’t mind seeing him in there with Ryder or Lerrone Richards back end of the year, maybe BJS if he comes back.
He can still fight, make $$$ but don't get him in there with big punchers as he doesn't have the power to keep the big hitters off him. He come from a very good and successful amateur background, has a 168 belt on his record, is a very good technical boxer and has a hot wife. Nothing to dislike here. Where is Rocky Fielding? A BJS comeback fight would be good for both; a real DAZN match!
He should fight some popular fighters outside the U.S. He has a name and probably can beat some of those guys and make some nice coin. He's likely finished as a PPV headliner in America, but he got two big fights out of his career and that's pretty damn good.
Plant is a money fighter. Dude is undercover smart with his match matching. Maximal reward for minimal risk type of guy. He will fight anybody for multi-millions.
Think Plant would win comfortably on points in the end but yes Ryder gives anyone a tough nights work. Not sure what the situation is with Andrade but that fight would be a firecracker.
Charlo Plant will put the hood in the seats. Doesn't matter that neither is that good, it's the marketing and vibes.
He goes back home with his beautiful wife, cash that check, goes to car shows with his Latino brothers and chills for a while.
