this. kirkland could be number 1 in the wbc rankings now but that doesn't mean alvarez will fight him. he didn't fight the top guy to get the belt, and he hasn't defended it against the top guys either. i would love to see alvarez step up as i'm sure many others would too, but it's only a possibility and not a done deal. lara deserves to call kirkland out especially since both angulo and him ducked lara before the fight was made. vanes, alvarez, and trout need to fight these guys (lara, kirkland, and molina).
i think alvarez is fully capable of carrying out the plan you said for lara. if both guys can weather the storm of kirkland for the first 3 rounds, it will be likely that james will slow down a bit seeing as he can't take them out right away. from there, they have a chance to pick their shots and hope they wear him down to late stoppage or decision win. though this isn't certain cause kirkland will have heavy hands from start to finish so anything can happen. god, i hope kirkland fights one of these two guys next.
