‘Plant Had Great Underwear On’: Mike Tyson Trolls Canelo’s Opponent

Heavyweight legend Mike Tyson is all about entertainment. Having produced several intriguing matchups in his prime, the legend is now relishing his time as an expert on the sidelines. He is ready to witness Canelo Alvarez take on Caleb Plant on November 6. Chiefly ‘The Baddest Man on The Planet’ has backed Saul in the matchup.

Going against the fellow American boxer, Tyson has billed ‘SweetHands’ to be just another in-ring victim of the P4P King Alvarez. He was present on the stage at the official weigh-in. Post-ceremony, he shared his views on the maiden undisputed super middleweight championship. When asked about Caleb Plant, Tyson comically praised the undefeated IBF world champion. He also explained what it means to fight at the top level.

Mike Tyson said, “I will tell you one thing. Plant had great underwear on.”

“They do [both looked good in shape]. But it’s all about the initiate here [pointing at head]. Your body’s whole purpose is to carry the brain.”

Despite his support towards Canelo Alvarez, Tyson knows how big upsets can happen anytime in the sport. He has been in some massive shockers in boxing history, notably suffering his maiden career loss against James ‘Buster’ Douglas. Thus, Plant can offer a similar scenario by outpointing the P4P king on fight night.

Despite his underdog status, Caleb Plant has seemed confident. Relying on a strong team and his undefeated record, the American star will appear on the biggest night of his career. Hence, we can expect him to bring in his best version.

Tyson was known for knocking people out and he can possibly see the same happening in Plant vs Alvarez. Mexican fighter Alvarez has been stopping his opponents since February and is 2-0 this year.

However, Canelo will be well advised to not overlook Plant’s technical ability and counter-hook chances.

Plant can also offer sheer challenge and on being overlooked, can infuse some dramatic turns in the fight. Canelo Alvarez can comfortably pick on his opponent in any way he wants. Meanwhile, ‘SweetHands’ needs to offer a unique approach to dismantle his legendary opposition.
