Trainer Bob Edwards: "Canelo Needs To Stay Away from Kirkland" (Video)

Kirkland may be a big puncher but in his last fight, he almost got dropped. I don't think he has a good chin and leaves himself open. Not impressed.

Why? The only thing scary about Kirkland is his look and bullish approach. He's powerful, but not devastating, strong, but not much stronger. Canelo could arguably be the bigger puncher, and better technical fighter. At some point he's gotta step his game up. Kirkland will be in the way. If Kirkland was popular and had a promoter who actually promoted him everyone would be screaming that he's a protected pusssssy who fights Tomato can's. True Story!

Kirkland has a suspect chin got wobbled by a tomato can in his last fight .Canelo would have finished him off.

both have a good offense but canelo is way too easy to hit...if your his size ofcourse And Kirkland is the second coming of Willie Pep?

Hagler within 6? Check Haglers career out, he never fought under 158 or something different weights, why compare? Because the interviewer is an idiot. Probably Seckbach's cousin.

Kirkland's got flaws, but he's one of those guys I think fighters are gonna make a detour around until he makes a big impact against a top named opponent. If I'm De La Hoya, Kirkland's the last guy I'm putting Canelo in there with at 154 for obvious reasons.
