Certainly, views on Caleb Plant’s statement vary, yet they weave an intricate tapestry of fan reactions. Some skeptics argue that Benavidez’s win over Caleb came from aggressive forward movement, which is more noticeable, whereas Canelo used a more nuanced strategy. As one fan writes (translated by Facebook), “And maybe so, just some don’t believe it because Benavidez beat Caleb by pushing him and going forward, (which is more noticeable) while the tapatio beat him using a strategy where it wasn’t just going forward. Every boxer makes his strategy using his skills, trying to impose his style.”

In contrast, others say, “Well, of course, who better to say it if he fought with Saul and Benavides” Furthermore, there’s a sense of validation as one fan notes, “Sure, we already know that, now a professional boxer said it. Go ahead. And what follows for Canelo?”

Additionally, one comment humorously suggests, “It hits so hard that even the drunk step did!”
