What now for Plant?

Plant is not a C+ fighter. He's at worst a B level fighter. C+ is slightly better than mediocre, which he isn't.

 

I mean based on what? Who has Plant beaten? 39 year old Truax? Old af Direll? Uzi? And then he got stopped and battered the only 2 times he stepped up in competition...

Yeah, he's C+ until he proves he's not a fringe contender. Most fans on here would agree Jermall, Andrade, Morrell, and possibly even Ryder would be favorite to beat Plant at this point.

 

Somebodies hood is gon always be in the seats.

 

Plants still a top tier SMW, far from gatekeeper status. Only lost to Canelo and Benavidez. No crime in that.

 

Plant and Charlo have large ethnic followings. Not every fighter has that.

 

How about a move to 175?

I think he's one of several PBC fighters who have achieved less than they could by draining themselves past the age when boiling down stops being such a big advantage.

 

Caleb Plant is just as skilled as Ugas, Thurman, and Brook who dealt with Porter very easily.

 

I wanna see plant fight boo boo.

 

Have him fight Yamaguchi Falcoa or David Lemiuex. Edgar Berlanga would be interesting

 

I’m not so sure about 175. Plant’s problem is being able to hurt his opponent. He can throw quick combos in flurries but doesn’t get the pop that causes the other guy from thinking twice about coming in. That’s why he needs to do it for 12 rnds and against top guys he can’t do that. Take that to 175 and I think he gets steam rolled. Unless it fixes his stamina where he can throw them combos and move for 12 rnds.

 

A following is a following and a hood is a hood. Ethic or not.

 

I seen people calling Plant elite on Reddit. Those must be all the people brought in by the YouTube fighters we keep hearing about because Plant is nowhere near elite and it’s atrocious that anyone would even think he is.
