Who should Kirkland fight next?

[-Kev-]

Kirkland needs to fight at 154 and stay there IMO.

If Ishida can fight at 154 I'm down. If not he can find guys that hit harder to prove his beard.

Latimore or Karass for example.

I'm just sick of boxers not rematching the guys who almost beat them/beat them and some fans acting like it's okay.

Mayweather rematched Castillo
Taylor rematched Pavlik
Tarver rematched Dawson
Wiliams rematched Martinez[and still wants a trilogy despite what happened]
Dawson rematched Johnson

All of these fighters get bashed for whatever reason. But guys like Khan and Calzaghe get praised, Khan is afraid of rematching Prescott, Calzaghe wanted no part of Hopkins again. And these things just get swept under the rug. It's pathetic.

Fight Ishida, there's no substitute.

Mora needs a fight. He can outbox James easy. It would be a good fight for James because he would always have that punchers chance too. Vera rematch would be good too. Sechew Powel would be a good fight. Latimore would be a good fight. McEwan or Lee even. Guerrero may even want to shake off dust by getting back in with someone like James.

Good macthes can still be made even without the tops guys. 154 is pretty deep and can get deeper.

****, even Cintron can get some.

[Pugilistic™]

I can.

Odds are the guy he just beat hit harder than Ishida.

His chin will always be questionable.

But we have see that he can get to a point were he can take flush shots from Julio and Vera.

If he gets back there he can make serious noise at 154.

Given his fighting style and the fact that his chin is questionable, i highly doubt he can make noise at 154 or 160.

I think this will be it for Kirkland. He can continue to beat up on tomato cans but thats it imo.

[Danny Gunz]

He got smoked by a journeymen he should clear his name and beat Ishida

[Evil Abed]

Latimore would also be a perfect next step.

Luis Carlos Abregu or Richard Gutierrez

[Outworn]

Brewer for me who just beat the then undefeated Fernando Guerrero.

That's a good tough fight.

That would show us if Kirkland is back to prime shape or not.

Luis Carlos Abregu or Richard Gutierrez

abregu? he's a welterweight and kirkland's a middleweight.
kirkland could either try to slim down a bit to make 154, or he should stay at MW. i think kirkland just needs to continue fighting featherfisted MWs and work on his skills (defense, footwork, etc)
