Boy, I was hoping Canelo and Plant could duke it out! Apparently, the WBC has different plans with Plant.
Hopefully there is enough money that the wbc’s plan will be irrelevant
Canelo popular enough to ignore all these organizations and their paper titles-should do so as an example to other fighters.
It’s funny that they refer to him as “free agent Canelo Alvarez”. Like that really matters.
Is shakur 130lbs? If so, then it’s a big 3 between he, tank and berchelt. It’s be nice if those 3 took place in whatever order.
