This is the perfect fight for Canelo to have after that aesthetically displeasing fight for the fans he just had.
Kirkland would be a very dangerous fight, and if they want to keep putting Canelo on PPV, Goldenboy is going to need to bring the excitement.
Only problem with this fight is, Kirkland might knock Canelo out in 5 rounds.
He is very similar to angulo.. Canelo would just come out guns blazing and stop Kirkland early.. But if he doesn't get Kirkland out of there quick and let's him warm up, then Kirkland could overwhelm him..
my thoughts as well.
Kirkland's handspeed is also way better than Angulo. He could catch Canelo if he throws with him. Dangerous fight for both guys.
idk why people keep asking for canelo-cotto.Arum already said
cotto goes another route and maybe fights bradley next.
Canelo-kirkland seems like the next best fight.
I'll gladly pay for this fight, people are sleeping on James which is a good thing. Anne and James will eat this for motivation. Canelo hasn't fought a fighter like Kirkland before. He's probably thinking easy KO.. Then next thing he'll know is he's in the 3rd round in a fight where his opponent is only getting stronger..
This ain't PPV material and especially for $69.99
It more PPV material for the casuals over a Lara fight, If can wins in exciting fashion which I don’t think he would, the hype behind Cotto/Canelo would be huge, right now, after a very close win against Trout, a loss to Mayweather, and dominant win over zombie Angulo, and a controversial win against Lara, Canelo could use an action packed, competitive, but clear win.

I'd be riding with Kirkland, but Canelo probably stops him within 6. I just don't trust Kirkland against anyone who can punch.
If this fight happens, Canelo has been taking off all my guys lately.
But it's all good, he lost to your main crush ;)
The time is right for Cotto v Canelo, no need for this Kirkland fight next. I think he gets more out of an Andrade fight anyway, a title and development.
Kirkland is a hard puncher and would make for a live underdog in this fight. And if Canelo looks impressive in an exciting fight, it sets up Cotto very nicely for next year, God knows Cotto needs all the help he can shifting PPVs.
It wouldn't be the least bit dangerous. Alvarez in 2.
I think it would.
Kirkland would be the hardest puncher he's fought so far, if his chin can hold up it will be very interesting and entertaining.
Folks keep bringing up Kirkland being stopped but he's only been stopped once and it happened to be after a layoff due to a stint in jail. In boxing sh*t happens doesn't mean he's shot though. Kirkland looked like his usual self in his last fight where he ate some heavy punches and kept on pushing. I'd give him a decent chance against anyone long as he has Anne Wolfe in his corner!!!!
Great fight, shud end in a KO, which is great, we won't have to deal with all the robbery threads
Definitely agree, this shouldn’t be a controversial fight at all, Kirkland will be a very live underdog in this fight.
None of these guys are as good as Canelo. With his skill and power he could definitely finish Kirkland once he hurts him.
I’ll have to respectfully disagree.
He got hurt my Angulo and then destroyed him, Ishida he wasn’t being trained by Ann Wolfe at the time, and Glen Tapia, who is a very good fighter got ate up as well.
With Ann Wolfe in his corner, Kirkland is tough for anyone, you have to be a real awkward slick boxer to really nullify his game plan, or you have to knock him out.
Canelo’s power is overrated in my opinion, he could hurt Kirkland of course, but I think Kirkland has more of a shot at hurting Canelo.

If and only if Kirkland can take Canelo's punches, Ginger will be in for a hell of a night cuz he gets hit fairly easily. I didn't before but now I favor Cotto over Canelo "slightly"
