[Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant

[AmoreJaz]

Almost $500 million and up being earned by Floyd if I'm not mistaken. So he is there on top of everyone including Canelo.

But I think Canelo will be the second boxer in the list after retirement. Mayweather has different set of fans, they watch and buy live tickets because they want to see him lose, lol. But so far still undefeated record.

Mayweather's career is over he is semi-retired he will fight for exhibition, Canelo's career is at its peak he will have a lot of great fights and a lot of money coming in, in three or four years he can surpass Mayweather's career earning, and could become one of the boxers with highest earnings, Canelo is one of the most exciting boxers to watch in this era.

That is who will be Canelo's willing dance partner?

Floyd has Manny to generate the biggest PPV ever
Then Floyd vs Oscar Dela Hoya

Then when he started to crossover or make exhibitions match, Floyd vs Conor.

But since Canelo has clean up the 160-168 lbs there are no fighters that can give him that huge amount of money Floyd does in his career.

GGG? Nah, I don't think, this is the third fight and supposedly they should have fought like 2 years ago.

Canelo is probably going to need to move up a division if he wants to get even more money, he feels very comfortable in his division and I have no doubts that if he has his sight on being the undisputed of the division then he can do it, but there are no huge fights left for him, he can attract a crowd but if he really wants to earn more money then he needs an opponent that can do the same and in his division this is very difficult to do as I think he is clearly the best.

maybe after this fight and if he can easily win over caleb, i am guessing he will be thinking how to move up the ladder. i don't think he will just be contented to stay in his comfort zone. he will aim for more as he is still very capable of. but for now, he's focusing with his training for this upcoming fight. but just wanna say, i prefer canelo's style of fighting rather than mayweather.

I am expecting an easily win for Canelo Alvarez and after defeating Caleb Plant what is the best opponent he will have to challenge him. The only competition he had was Gennady Golovkin and i thought he lost the first fight and i would like to see the trilogy so that the boxing fans would see an excitement fight which is competitive rather than having one sided encounters.

I'm also seeing Canelo Alvarez winning the fight but I'm not thinking it will be an easy one. Caleb Plant is now doing his best efforts on his training and we should good result of it once the fight happened. He should show us that he can able to make the fight close and give judges a headache deciding with their score cards.

About the trilogy against GGG, I doubt it will happen again as Canelo is not interested even at 1%.

What ladder? Much upper weight class? I don't think he will move up more from being a Welterweight, MiddleWeight, and Light Heavyweight to a much higher weight class. It's not about that his comfort zone but that was logically the weight class he is fit to. There are still big names on those divisions which he can pick on his future fights.

Gennady Golovkin is so far the closest and competitive opponent of Canelo in his career. I also like to see the trilogy between them and hopefully, it can be arranged. They need a part 3. But before that Canelo needs to settle first with Caleb Plant to become an undisputed boxer this year.

Won't be an easy fight for Canelo but I'm sure he can handle Caleb Plant. The latter has attractive odds to win but too risky to gamble with it.

You are not the only one wanting to see a trilogy, but Canelo turn it down multiple times in the last year or so. I doubt that we can see this fight in the future, and GGG is already 40+ years old, no longer in his prime.

Won't be an easy fight for Canelo but I'm sure he can handle Caleb Plant. The latter has attractive odds to win but too risky to gamble with it.

I guess smart money will go to Canelo, the odds are not that attractive but maybe handicap or total of rounds will be good enough for us to bet. The debate is now whether can Caleb can stay 10.5 rounds/over and under.

With an unbiased jury, Golovkin would have won the matches of 2017 and 2018. There should have been a rematch in 2019, but Alvarez chickened out and refused to face GGG. Now there is no point in getting a trilogy fight in 2022. The fact remains clear - Canelo was afraid of a defeat in 2019 and therefore refused to face Golovkin for the third time. No matter how much glory he achieves at the boxing ring (there is no doubt that Canelo is an all time great), this one thing will remain as a black mark and haunt him forever.

Just Like Mayweather refuse to take rematch against Manny Pacquiao , it is best to remain Undefeated recorded than facing an opponent that you are in doubt of winning continuously .

there are different types of Boxers .

there are others that want to test their capacity in fighting the toughest .

and there are also those type of Boxers that only looking for Fame .

It's not about that his comfort zone but that was logically the weight class he is fit to. There are still big names on those divisions which he can pick on his future fights.

It's better for him to stay in the weight class where he is compatible and doesn't need to give much effort to defeat his opponents. Boxing is not just to conquer most of the weight division where you are not sure when you increase your weight and still have those power punches to shake your opponent cause most of the boxer only bring heavy body when they increase their weight and easily defeated by their opponents especially when their opponents are has been long compatible in those weight division.

I agree with this although Canelo could claim that there is no more point for a rematch because he has already won. But to someone who is neutral, the fight could have also be given to Golovkin. That's the reason why the judges only came up with a majority decision. The fight was not a convincing win for Canelo. If he was man enough to settle the score especially because their first match was also a split draw, he should have arranged for a rematch. The GGG-Canelo battle was never really settled.  And it's because of Canelo avoiding it.

It will be a trilogy match like Wilder and Fury and it would be so entertaining and only GGG could match Canelo's skills and if GGG will retire soon, at least he has given the request of the fans to see him fight again Canelo, and I'm sure in terms of the purse in this fight, it will not be a problem as the promoter would love to promote a fight that is guaranteed to sell to the fans.

I agree you should fight in your best weight category take the case of Mikey Garcia he loses two fights in the welterweight division because he cannot take the power and the speed from the category where he used to be the champion, Garcia is great but against fighters who are natural welterweight he is having a hard time, Canelo is doing great in his weight category let those who want to take a piece of him to get him in that weight category.

Boxers will try to go up in weight if he feels he is not getting good challenge anymore, but the moment they'll feel their power does not belong to a height weight, then they can just go back to where they are dominant as they would just try to win afterall.

just like Donaire, he tried to go up but failed, now he is back to bantamweight and he is doing great.

IMO, only Pacman is successful enough to go up in weight and still dominate his opponent, that's during the time when he was still younger.

The problem with Mayweather is that he avoided fighting Pacquiao during in his prime. Though as a businessman, I do understand the move of Mayweather in avoiding him since there is that risk of staining my undefeated record. But as a fighter, it is considered as a 'weak move'. That is also the reason on why many fans from all over the world see Pacquiao as one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Canelo, on the other hand, is a pure warrior and fighter. He challenges all the greatest on his weight division no matter who the fighter may be. But what really molded him to be the best fighter in his weight division was his fight between Mayweather where he lost. He learned so much from that fight that made him a complete force of nature.

Every time Mayweather fights, we hear boos but it never happened in Canelo's fight because he doesn't run but makes his opponent run.

I believe a lot of boxing fans don't really like Mayweather's style.
Aside from being boring and dull, he always seemed to pick his fights according to his advantage and like to be on the safe side.
This is why, he's a good technical fighter. But people want a real fight inside the ring just like what Pacquiao and Canelo's style.
So we may see Canelo thrive for years to come, up until his retirement. At least, make boxing alive and not boring.

If you want to stay dominant, let those who wanted to have a piece of you to challenge you  why would you need to go up and try to fight those who are dominating from the upper weight? you'll going to earn good money after all even you stay with your own division and keep winning your fight right?

In case of Alvarez, he still has some known names to fight and still collect a good paycheck. Just need to complete and win this one from Plant, then wait for another hot challenger.

Both the fights were really close and i thought GGG won the first fight and the second one was another close one and may be if it was outside the US judges we might have seen a different result. All the boxing fans wanted to see the trilogy but Canelo Alvarez knows how hard it is face someone of the same caliber and he opted to fight other opponents.

As long as Canelo continuously winning, a good paycheck will always come after. Even there are lots of challengers, the boxer should at least have a good recognition before Canelo's camp will take the bait. One of the known boxers that Canelo can take if he wins against Plant, is against the WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. He's the first option supposedly after Caleb Plant. I think he's the next one that Canelo will face.

Mayweather always tries to keep himself on the advantageous side through his tricks which looks boring. As said he wants to keep his name remembered. Another thing I find is the age. Mayweather is 40+ that makes him go for such techniques whereas Canelo is around 31 so his way of boxing differs as the young pumping can be seen high in him.
