Pacquiao vs. Kirkland @ 154

Imagine how Rios was hitting Manny in the clinches...how itd look Kirkland doing that. Roach would stop it QUICK. Pac would get rag dolled. I would boycott that fight lol.

Pac should be too fast... But can he even take a few Kirkland bombs? There's always the chance Kirkland just bulldozes pac into the ropes and grabs him and roughs him up... P4p Pac takes it BY fAR! Different leagues...but I'm not dumb enough to pretend Kirkland isnt big and strong as s hit. Marg was never a huge puncher, Kirkland IS a big puncher at 154. Pac cant KO a legitimate 147 pounder, he wont stop Kirkland. Hell no, not early unless he catches him ice cold with some Ishida Hiroshima bomb. Call me crazy but Kirkland takes this. The size is too much...Pac is fast, but not fast enough to avoid EVERYTHING. He's not defensively sound enough... (As if Kirkland is but Pac too small to hurt him) I agree with this assessment. :boxing:

Kirland rehydrates to 174 pounds during fight night. I think Pacquiao might out box in the first few round, but once James starts hitting him. I think he might KTFO Pacquiao in the later rounds.

See I give Kirkland a chance against anyone because he can crack and sure he might be chinney but he's only lost that one fight and that was at a bad point in his life. I could see him KO'ing a winded Canelo late in a fight. See him catching Manny and doing the same to him. A winded Canelo is still gonna have a very easy target in front of him, so I can't see it.

Why do you say @154 as if Kirkland would weigh 154lbs come fight time. It'll be more like @168. You don't fight someone at their dehydrated weight. U fight them at their optimal fighting weight.

Can I assume you would take Canelo over Kirkland? Without a second thought......

This one is far more winnable than Canelo I'll tell you that much. What's with the Kirkland hype lately, this guy gets rocked every freaking fight, has so many flaws yet people want to see him in against top class opposition, why?!

Manny would whoop him like he did margarito and probably stop him if he had the ariza shakes

We are talking about the same Pac that got knocked senseless by JMM right. I think that guy should stay away from Kirkland.

I think Pacquiao would batter Kirkland. He's just too fast and uses angles that would trouble James. It's a high risk because Pacquiao isn't a big WW nvm JMW

Pac would slaughter Kirkland. It would be as bad as margarito. Kirkland too slow...Pac would land 5 punch combinations before kirkland can get a punch off.

Unless Pacquiao scores a shocking early KO, he gets taken out. Weight classes exist for a reason.

Pacquiao would never fight him. Team Pacquiao said after his fight with Margarito that he would never again fight above 147 because he was too small to take the punishment of the bigger men. Kirkland has nothing to offer. He has no title and he is not rated that high. A win over Kirkland really doesn't do much for Pacquiao. Kirkland is fun to watch and he will beat lesser fighters like Tapia. Kirkland is very easy to hit and easy to hurt. Pacquiao is way too fast, skillful and hard hitting for this face fighter and Pacquiao would take him out early, Ann Wolfe or not. I agree with just about all of this except the whole being taken out early bit at the end. Kirkland is high risk, very low reward for Pacman at his point and it would never happen at 154.
