Canelo Alvarez Hopes Caleb Plant Has ‘A Good Chin’ After Crossing The Line

Canelo Alvarez is hoping Caleb Plant has a good chin after everything he has said in the lead-up to the fight.

Alvarez and Plant are set to fight on November 6 in a highly-anticipated bout. The lead-up has been full of trash-talk which added to the hype but Alvarez believes Plant crossed the line so he hopes for his sake, his chin can back up his words.

“I hope he has a good chin because he’s going to need it on fight night. I’m always ready. I just can’t wait. I feel strong and fast,” Canelo Alvarez said (via Independent). “With all of the talk, it’s become personal. He crossed a line. But I have to remain focused, because this is a very important fight for me. Caleb has good boxing skills. He has good movement and a good jab. But it’s nothing new for me. I know what I need to do. I need to be patient in the early rounds and then start doing my job.

“Even harder than getting to the top is staying there. That’s why I try to get better each and every day. That’s what I’ve been trying to do from my first fight up until now,” Alvarez continued. “I’m 100 per cent focused on this fight. There’s nothing else crossing my mind. After it’s over, we’ll figure out who the next opponent will be.”

If Alvarez wins, he would be the undisputed champion which he says would be massive for his legacy.

“[That] is huge for my legacy. Not only would it be an honor to be the first Latin American fighter to do it, but there’s only a select club of fighters who have achieved this. Eddy [Reynoso, Canelo’s trainer and manager] and I said in the beginning that the goal was to be undisputed, and now we’re one fight away,” Alvarez said.

“Everyone knows what I’m going to do in the ring. When something is personal with me, it’s different. I have something special in my mind and I’m going to make it a great night for us,” Alvarez concluded.
