Team Canelo would obviously like to take the Kirkland fight before a clash with Cotto.Kirkland has the power to k.o Canelo but I'm sure he doesn't have the chin to go past round 5 in a brawl.i don't see why he'd be the number one option to fight canelo next after being irrelevant in the past years.i wonder what weight they would fight at ?He's having promotional problems so I'm not sure if this fight will happen anytime soon. Who do you think would win?
Kirkland would have a punchers chance but in the end he would get knocked out. His chin wouldn't hold up.It's not even just a puncher's chance. Kirkland has the will power, stamina, and determination to put Canelo through hell, especially if it goes late. If that fight even goes 6 rounds, I guarantee Canelo is going to feel like he was thrown down a flight of stairs. Kirkland would be physically stronger than just about any fighter Canelo has ever faced and be raining bombs no0n-stop and Canelo is no defensive wizard so he would be hit often. This is a fight that would be about who can impose their will and would promise fireworks. The edge is Canelo but this is Boxing and anything can happen. Guaranteed war. Sign me up.
It's crazy that Ishida was the only one to seriously do that kindof damage while Kirkland always came roaring back in the fight despite being down.... it'll be a fight I'd love to see with a guaranteed KO
It would be fun fight no matter how long it last. Of course you give the edge to Canelo but Kirkland when he's trained right is a beast. Canelo should be able to withstand the Kirkland barrage but it wouldn't easy.
I would favor Canelo and so would his team which is why they are so interested in this fight.
Kirkland can win but would need better Defense and Head Movement, he seems to get Dropped or Hurt early in every fight but gets stronger as the fight goes so it depends on his stategy really. But I think Canelo would Box Him, I don't think he would just go Toe to Toe, he can out-box Kirkland
I love this fight, I got Canelo taking it though. Kirkland has been chilling since Tapia, and he was getting tatooed with some shots in that fight, but he had that Ann Wolfe stamina/chin boost.
Canelo is looking like he'll be the catchweight king at the jr. middleweigh/middleweight tweener range. They should set this up @ 157 and get it popping
Canelo ruins him in two rounds but the fight could be fun to watch while it lasts. Angulo could have done the same had he been smart enough not to punch himself out .Angulo couldn't keep up the pace that Kirkland sets, simple as that. Kirkland's training is as intense as it gets.
