‘Sweethands’ said, “He’s looked beatable in a lot of his bigger fights. He looked beatable vs Lara, he got schooled by Floyd, he lost the first fight to GGG and it was really close the second time. They’re not gonna convince me the guy’s unbeatable.” (h/t Michael Benson)

Caleb Plant added, “I’ll beat Canelo Alvarez and, if he wants to take the rematch, I’ll beat him twice. I’ll beat David Benavidez, I’ll beat Jermall Charlo and I’ll be crowned as one of the greatest fighters of this era, period.” (h/t Michael Benson)

With his above comments, it seems Plant is in the finest mindset required for the biggest test of his career.
