  • Oh gee, should we all be thankful..
    Thought we would have to miss this. Lol.. I guess Canelo had No better option.

    • Actually his team said; Ok Champ you’ve cycled off of your roids so now we can fight. Something smells awfully funny here?!

      • Yeah, I always question how clean Canelo is, his body/arms have certainly become a lot more solid looking over the years. You don’t get muscles like that from just boxing training. He’s been busted once, so it’s obvious somethings not legit. He’s not the only one, there’s a long list of cheats, in boxing and other sports too; doesn’t make it right though.

        • Camelot is a dam great boxer. One slip up and people start hating. Dude works out and takes care of his body.

          • Being caught once and offending once can be hugely different.
            Definitely agree he’s got great skills which he’s honed through years of training, but, he’s been busted, you can either acknowledge or ignore it, up to you.

          • FYI
            He was not “busted”
            They found traces…not the same…actually Billy Blow Job Saunders talked shit about Canelo only to get more percentage of illegal substances found on himself…Btw those % of traces are legal now due to food contamination wise.
            Happen all the time to Soccer players in Mexico.
            Canelo being cleared long time ago.
            Whoever is trying to dictate their narrative should keep their facts together first.

          • You mean the WBC, who coincidentally made him the franchise champ cleared him?
            And that after knowing that national footballers had been caught with it their systems in 2012/3, one of the wealthiest fighters in the world decided to chance it and eat tainted meat?
            Yeah, I buy that

        • What about his neck, he can’t turn his head without moving his whole body. He has come a long way since nearly getting ktfo by cottos brother. So has Eddy, he must have the good stuff. Hope Oscar doesn’t get pinged

        • Agree on the suspicions but you literally went from “question” to “obvious.” That is a big leap. Questionable, yes. Obvious, no.

  • Please get your opening gambit right he’s WBO not IBF champ not WBC WBA & IBF. You’re a boxing site ffs

  • Will Plant’s wife interview Canelo, after he knocks her husband out?

    Good Question … From Mort.

  • Mods, please delete this account.

    This is a boxing group. Not a political group.

  • Hurry up Canelo beat Plant by 8 round TKO then go to a different division I’am ready to see you fight some of these young Lions and stop hand picking opponents

  • Conelo stopped being a prima donna when he first knew that Caleb plant wasn’t going to bend to his unreasonable demands, and then Dimitri Bivol also told him to take his bullshit offer and pound sand. Good for these fighters who are taking a stand against the most pampered fighter in the history of the sport.

      • Mayweather was protected by American television executives who protected his “0” because America had no players in the heavyweight division during Mayweathers despicable career. Mayweather made more money for white corrupt executives than any fighter in history. The epitome of “Uncle Tom”

      • Yes but Floyd also promoted himself,so he did it his way,and man was he smart or what,yes he didn’t always fight the best in there prime, but he sure as hell made that money, good for him

    • Chris…..that 0-7 amateur record still hurting isn’t it my guy? I remember you gave Canelo his due last time out but here you are again, the concussion effect coming back to haunt you. I remember you from high school. Always smack talking until sh@t got real.

    • Chris: im still not sure what Demands Canelo had for Plant that Plant was complaining and acting like such a crybaby. Someone please feel me in. Last i heard, they were pissed cuz Canelo was asking High dollar for the replacement “in case” Plant pulls out or gets hurt. Is that why??

      • I had heard that Haymon wanted options on Canelo and that is why things broke down. I do not know that for certain but it seems whenever Haymon is involved there is difficulty in making fights when one of the fighters is not his. Fury-Wilder is the exception.

        • Pete: thanks bud. I hadn’t heard that part BUT I can definitely see Haymon getting pissed when he doesn’t get his way. Thanks for the Info!!

    • Chris you 0 and 7 and get on here and diss real fighters .. As I fighter you were a world class runner

    • A distinct possibility. But Plant is a good mover and he does throw punches. Also confidence seems high, size is substantial and work ethic and toughness appear solid too. I say it ends in close decision, likely to Canelo with Canelo coming on in rounds 9-12.

  • I expect Canelo to win by late TKO, but Plant will have his moments during the early rounds, while Canelo makes adjustments to seek and destroy Plant with body shots.

    Let’s hope we do not hear about any more issues for this fight.

    • You mean 2 and just like most of your predictions you are so so wrong. If your hommie zerafa ever gets another fight outside Bendigo he is down in 2

  • Plant will do well for the first 3 or 4 rounds with his slippery defense but it’s only a matter of time before Canelo finds his rhythm and hurts Plant. Plant does not have the firepower to keep Canelo off of him for 12 rounds..

    Plant is a goofy Vanilla Ice lookalike who tries to act cool and suave especially with that absolutely ridiculous “Sweet Hands” name he made up. “Ice Ice Baby”……

  • Finally, Plant will finally put his gloves on with Canelo after an early fiasco on payment deals. The surest way here for Plant is to rack up points to win for the undisputed.

  • I will not elieve it until a see it. Chances are Plant will pull out if the fight with Covid-19 infection inside his camp or an eye injury or something…..

  • Canelo will dominate this fight. This man is determined and coming to be undisputed. Plant is often times off balance and has soft hands. Plant is a decent fighter who fought no one good. Fighting shit opponents will make you look good, but often not I have seen a lot of mistakes in Plants game against lesser competition. Canelo is a different type of fighter than what Plant is accustomed to which will make it very hard for Plant to overcome. I expect a knockout or a unanimous decision unless Plant sits on his stool like someone else who did. Canelo’s power, speed and counter punching is not a joke. I seriously believe Plant has no chance to win this fight.

  • Finally we will be able to witness this bum plant lose his belt, hopefully he’s man enough to try to fight back unlike that coward Saunders. Plant is long over due for a proper ass whooping he’s going to get after running his disgusting mouth and ducking Canelo and David Benavidez for years now.

    • Hahaha.. That kid hasn’t avoided anyone? Where u get your ignorant info from?? Lol At any rate, the fight world can clearly remember when this so called Mexican legend got humiliated & embarrassed in the ring!!Lol That being said, you act like he can’t be beat. And actually wasn’t to impressive against that Brit until the 8th..Soooo yawning lol

  • Yea well I can surely remember a day when someone humiliated & embarrassed Canelo HAHA..Soo I just keep yawning .. He will never be a legend & greater than Julio Caeser Chavez. Plain & simple!

  • Its sad how you risk your life in the ring or octagon just to have a greedy gambling creep spend it on the tables in any casino or just blowing your sweat and tears like water when he doesn’t deserve a penny of it but is quick to fire you if complain about it to the people or fans.

  • Plant is a solid fighter,and we never seen him in a dog fight,if he’s coming to win,he might make it fun for a little while, but we all know who wins this.

  • plant always struggles against a solid good fighter, he will get tired and sloppy in the latter rounds canelo will go for the kill and knock out plant in his own garden.

  • You might as well have me fight Canelo. Whether I’m fighting Canelo or Plant is fighting him the results will be the same. Canelo is going to run through him like diarrhea.

  • The only tainted meat on fight night will be Caleb Plant, this dude is just lucky he has the belt if not Canelo would not even be thinking about him. Caleb is an ok fighter but not at the level of even some of Canelo’s past opponents. The last 2 guys Canelo beat would beat Plant. This will be an easy fight for Canelo, I don’t even think Plant could get past Benavides? Canelo will most definitely stop Sweet hands either with a body punch or KO. Canelo will eventually lose, he will make the same mistake other great champs have made and go one weight division too much, I think 168 is where he should stop. At 175 he is in a danger zone.

  • Some people don’t like Canelo because he’s an opportunist. He’s doing exactly the same thing that his peers like Floyd Mayweather has done before him yet those same people who bash him love Floyd for it.

  • CANELO DON’T HAVE A MEANINGFUL WIN SURE A BELT HERE A BELT THERE RUNNING FROM CHARLO AND ANDRADE, SO, HE NEEDED THIS UNDISPUTED BAD THATS WHY HE COULDN’T WALK AWAY.
