    Martinez brings no more money than Kirkland and no belt would be on the line, so why not go for the overhyped glass chin fighter in Kirkland? Floyd would actually get a highlight real KO/stoppage and look like a monster whereas he would beat Martinez in a competitive fight.

    Alvarez people have clearly stated they aren't going to whore canelo out for a big payday, something you would know if you actually followed the sport, and they plan to continue to build Canelo up. They have stated maybe a year or two down the road, but not right now.

    Again, that slick line wasn't about the money, rather you were insinuating that Floyd was somehow scared of Kirkland. Why are you backtracking, and why is it that all you do is flame non-stop every chance you get?
    No the line was because the matchup makes no sense. All those excuses you gave as to why Floyd won't fight the real fights at 154 are ******.

    Cotto being Manny's left overs is why Cotto-Floyd at 154 for Cotto's belt & recocgnized ring number 1 makes less sense than Floyd-Kirkland, please.

    Not willing to whore Canelo out for a big payday? If you followed boxing you would know that there was talks for years now about Canelo-Floyd, true story, also that Floyd loves wbc belts,(the one Canelo now owns).

    Martinez brings no money? Floyd sells fights by himself, Martinez-Floyd is the biggest fight that can be made with Floyd vs any fighter not named Pacman. Besides Floyd won't be any more than a 2 to 1 favorite in a fight he could likely lose, that alone sells the fight because people pay to see if anyone can beat Floyd.

    Again the line was because Floyd has no reason, none to even bother considering Kirkland, so try again chump.
    For anyone to even argue why Kirkland makes more sense that Floyd-Cotto, Canelo, or Martinez is beyond not knowing ****. Carry on.

      Canelo would be the obvious money fight if Floyd wanted one at 154, but coming off a win like this and with the "mini-Tyson" hype Kirkland will without a doubt receive now, Mayweather-Kirkland could be pretty big.

      I don't think Mayweather would consider any fight above welterweight except Martinez though. Yes Floyd loves money, but no one except Martinez does anything for Floyd's legacy, and I do think he cares about that. If he's going to risk going above 147 again, Martinez is who he would fight.

        If Kirkland beats Canelo in early Feb., this fight could be more likely than people give credit for.

          Yeah I agree, but Cotto or Canelo does more for Floyd than Kirkland, I don't get how top skank doesn't see that. Remember beating Cotto or Canelo equals 2 time jr middleweight champ. That's record setting yet again that does wonders for legacy bro. Plus he won't need catchweights or doctored up rankings to do it.

            Kirk beats a less experienced Margarito clone and everybody goes nuts and automatically throw them in the ring with Floyd/Pac smfh!! Floyd would box circles around him!!

            If age doesn't suddenly smack Floyd in the face...NOBODY and I mean NOBODY beats him from 154 n down...just I'm opinion!!

            And quit saying Floyd can fight at 54...he did that for the bestest ish in boxing history...not just bcuz!! If u honestly think he felt comfortable at that weight ur crazy...he still comes in under 47 for him fights and weighed in at 150 against Oscar.

                  Do you think Floyd would entertain a fight with Kirkland?

                  And who would win?

                  Me, I don't think Money would ever share a ring with the "Mandingo Warrior."

                  Even, Pacquaio vs. Kirkland would be interesting. How do you all seeing that one play out?
                  I was thinking about Kirkland. I would pay for this.
