Following a dominant win over Billy Joe Saunders, Canelo Alvarez will now look to unify the 168 lbs division by facing Caleb Plant. The Mexican champion, who appears invincible at this point, has been on a tear in the super middleweight division.

That said, Caleb Plant might make history and vanquish the P4P king. However, David Benavidez’s father, Jose Benavidez, doesn’t see it happening. Instead, he has envisioned seeing an early stoppage coming from Canelo Alvarez. In a chat with Behind The Gloves, Benavidez previewed Plant’s chances in the fight and compared it to Billy Joe Saunders’ latest performance on May 8.

“It’s going to be easier because like I said, I don’t think Caleb Plant has the same experience than Saunders. Caleb Plant is going to do the same thing, run run. Canelo is going to break him down and hit the body and I feel like about three-four rounds, he is going to take him out,” said Jose Benavidez.

Thus, he would rightly be the favorite over ‘Sweethands’ when they collide. The fight will reportedly happen in September, and both men will have sufficient time to undergo an active fight camp. However, with such sheer activeness, a prime Canelo Alvarez can still miles ahead of Caleb Plant.

Can Caleb Plant beat Canelo Alvarez?

Boating three successful IBF title defenses and a record of 21-0, Caleb Plant has looked promising in his professional career. The 28-year-old orthodox, who has 12 KOs under his name, has appeared flawless so far.

However, Canelo Alvarez has been beating undefeated fighters for a long time. After his return to the ring in December 2020, Alvarez has scored three wins, in which he vanquished two unbeaten pugilists.
