Alvarez claimed his third title when Billy Joe Saunders' corner threw in the towel in the eighth round of their May bout. You’d have to open those rankings with former champion Ruiz Jr., whose knockout power and return to dedication under trainer Eddy Reynoso has him positioned for another title shot by no later than 2023. Don’t forget Luis Ortiz, whom Ruiz has said he wants to fight next. Morrell is the WBA ‘regular’ champion at super middleweight, offering the chance for the 25-year-old American to secure a world title, while former IBF champion Plant would prove his worth at the top of the division. Plant (21-0) shared images of himself with former two-division unified world champion Andre “S.O.G” Ward. He has won world titles at four weights, regularly receives $35m for fights, beaten the very best and on Saturday night he met a man who refused to be part of the Canelo story. Chavez held world titles at three weights, Alvarez is already a world champion in four divisions. Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has agreed to face unbeaten Caleb Plant in a bid to become the undisputed super middleweight world champion. Aug 19 (Reuters) - Saul "Canelo" Alvarez confirmed that he will face Caleb "Sweethands" Plant for the undisputed super middleweight title on Nov. 6 in Las Vegas.
Plant, 29, won his IBF title in January 2019 with a decision over Jose Uzcategui in Los Angeles. Do you think Crawford stays with Top Rank once his contract is over? Canelo, still fresh from his eye-and-cheek-crushing victory over Billy Joe Saunders in Dallas last month, has time on his side. However, Canelo, still clearly seething at Plant's comment, was not in any mood to recognise the American's threat in the ring. On November 6, 2021, Caleb will face The Ring super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. The last thing Benavidez needs is to waste time trying to fight someone that will pull the rug out from under the fight and come up with another excuse for why he can’t face him. I’m just going to prepare to face him in the ring,” he said. Both landed well to the head and Golovkin controlled some rounds with his jab though neither were ever in any trouble of going down. He drew early in his career against Jorge Juarez, drew against Gennady Golovkin before beating him and lost against Floyd Mayweather.
The second fight: a long-awaited trilogy battle between Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin on Sept. I know what I need to do and I know a lot about him,' Alvarez said. He's a good fighter but I know my skills. No Mexican fighter has ever held all four major super middleweight belts simultaneously, but the 31-year-old Canelo has put the accomplishment atop his dwindling list of unaccomplished pugilistic goals. He is a four-division champion with titles in the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. The winner will become the undisputed super middleweight champion. The argument will not be settled for a while yet. Mexican Alvarez holds the WBC, WBA and WBO titles while Plant owns the IBF belt. Sweet Hands' is currently 21-0, with 12 knockouts, while Alvarez has 56 wins from 59 fights, with 38 by knockout. The hard-hitting Canelo will undoubtedly be pushing for a knockout throughout, which is reflected in the odds of 4/7 for a stoppage win. The winner of the fight, which is billed 'On the Road to Undisputed' will become the first undisputed super-middleweight champion of all time.
The fight promises to be a blockbuster, with 31-year-old Canelo the holder of the WBA, WBC, WBO and The Ring titles at super-middleweight. The No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter originally wanted to return to the ring in September, but could not finalise a fight with Plant. But I get the final say and I can't wait to prove everything in the ring. The Mexican said: 'You can say whatever to me, but not to my mom. I am very excited to have this fight before me,' Alvarez said. Saul Alvarez and Caleb Plant's first press conference ahead of their highly anticipated November fight erupted into a furious brawl after Plant allegedly made a comment about the Mexican's mother. How much grow tent space per plant? Canelo later posted on his social media account claiming that Plant had made a remark about his mum, insinuating that triggered the resulting events. JC and Canelo are not the only two in the discussion but increasingly it is coming down to them now. The South Londoner was only down by one and two points on two of the cards as he proved he had a future at world level. A megafight between the two will finally end the discussion about who the best 147-pounder in the world is.
