Caleb Plant Believes Canelo Alvarez Is 1-3 Against GGG, Mayweather, And Lara

Caleb Plant doesn’t think Canelo Alvarez beat Gennadiy Golovkin.

Alvarez is coming off a TKO win over Billy Joe Saunders, and many think he may face Plant next to unify the 168-pound division. However, Plant doesn’t believe Alvarez is as good as many think, as he believes he is just beating up on UK fighters who aren’t elite fighters.

“He’s been fighting these UK level guys, and that’s cool, but as far as him fighting the top – Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, and Gennady Golovkin [twice] – he’s 1-3. He’s looked human in some of these bigger fights,” said Plant to the Pug and Copp Boxing show talking about Canelo (via boxing247).

If Plant does get the fight against Alvarez, he is confident he will be able to win. He says he saw plent of mistakes the Mexican makes and knows he has the skillset to beat him.

“I saw some things [in Canelo’s fight with Saunders] that I feel like I can capitalize on,” said Plant to PBC Podcast. “As soon as we get that fight done, I can show you in person. I feel like I’m the better fighter, and I have the better attributes. I feel like I have the skills and the full package to go in there and do what has to be done.

“I’m a lot faster than Billy Joe, my defense is a lot better, and I punch harder than Billy Joe, and I’m taller than Billy Joe. If we can sit down and work it out [contract], I feel the fans deserve that fight, and that’s what we should give them,” Plant said. “I can guarantee that the lead-up to the fight will be fireworks, and the fight itself will have fireworks. [I’m] someone that is chasing greatness and chasing legacy, and someone who is giving his all to the sport.”

Whether or not Caleb Plant will fight Canelo Alvarez is uncertain at this time.
