    Even though the TS is anti-Mayweather, I think this is a legit question. Kirkland's a legit opponent now, espeacially if he beats Canelo for Floyd's favorite green WBC belt. They could fight in Feb, and the winner gets a fight the 5th. Besides it's more in Floyd's style to fight someone off a good win. If Pac was gonna do it, he would had faught him off of Ishida.

      Mayweather would box this guys ears off. Every time someone wins, people act like they're unstoppable.

      It was a good win, but let's stop overreacting.

        If you are saying that Kirkland is too big and strong at 154, that's reasonable.

        No, I don't think Floyd is "scared" but I do not think he'd ever share a ring with a monster like that.
        No, I think you may not realize how few hardcore boxing fans there are in the world compared to other sports the majority of which make up most of the viewers for BAD/HBO championship cards where little known fighters are competing.

          Anyone who won a fight within the last few weeks= unstoppable and future of the sport.

            Floyd would win every round against Kirkland but Pacquaio vs Kirkland would be an extremely dangerous fight. I mean Pac could possibly knock him out quick but if he doesn't, look out. Either way, neither of those guys would even consider that fight. They would show about the same interest in it as they do the Martinez fight.

              Truth.

              Same song and dance after every half decent fight.

                and they say boxing doesn't have any stars. Cote and Kirkland are carrying the torch!

                  Khan by not having signed him what 12 hours after this impressive ko has already ducked Cote and Kirkland even with no belts and only this 1 big win should be considered #1 at 154.

                    Exactly bro, it's like if he wins it's because of Anne, and if he were to lose it's because of Anne.

                    Kirkland is tough, but, I don't know if he has that true inner strength. I kinda see Kirkland kind of like a Tyson. Tyson was tough up to a certain point, but, a fighter who really had that warrior spirit was Holyfield.

                      24/7 would have to work its ass off to make Kirkland sell...I honestly did not see anything last night that would make me think he could beat Mayweather apart from size advantage. Honestly Mayweather would be wayyyyyyyyyyyy too sharp and fast for him. Kirkland showed openings that Floyd would be only too eager to exploit. I don't see how he could land on Mayweather consistently either.

                      I remember these same topics about Devon Alexander after he knocked out Urango.
