Kirkland is dangerous but has glaring weaknesses as a fighter. His main strengths are his power and stamina. However he lacks defense, has a shaky chin, and doesn't have a high boxing IQ, and factor in his inactivity. Canelo takes it, looking impressive in an exciting bout. Even with all these things, having James Kirkland as a tune up fight is saying a lot about Canelo. He's really running the gauntlet at 154.
But since then, harder punches have failed to do that.
He'll probably get hurt and hurt often against Canelo, but he'll keep throwing.
I wonder who they'll set up next for him... Kirkland will probably price himself out again
50 cent his promoter? I'm sure he will work with oscar to remain relevant in boxing...
Idk who they will set up but canelo isn't getting any breaks... Danny Garcia took 2 and broner taking 2.
Some Japanese stopped Kirkland I would. Consider Kirk a safe fight before cotto
Alvarez stops Kirkland in 3

Canelo by early KO. He is superior to Kirkland in just about every way. He punches as hard as Kirkland but with more speed and accuracy. His defense is much better than Kirkland's who is very easy to hit when he charges in. He takes a punch much better than Kirkland and he has never been knocked down in almost 50 pro fights since the age of 15. Kirkland goes down pretty easily as the light puncher from Japan showed in his first round KO of Kirkland. There is a reason Kirkland has been fighting for so many years and never won a title. He is not that good. He is good enough to be in the top 10 but not good enough to win a title unless it's a very weak champion.
Why? There's levels to this ****. Alvarez is above Kirkland now. He doesn't need step up fights. He's fought the best already.
Cotto, Molina and Andrade should be the next targets.
Easy Canelo victory.
Depends if the balck dude takes his black pills doe, if he does he might last longer but still get his ass beat liek the rest of them
