Canelo vs Kirkland

[joseph5620]

wow im just amazed at how many people are so quick to go into conclusions. Yes jk fought a great fight and showed good heart but i honetly dont see him beating canelo in ANY sort of way. Plus aint canelo 21 let him evolve get better with time learn a thing or two. If they do fight i see canelo stopping jk in 3-4 rounds canelos right hand is going to be landing everytime he fires it. Why do people want to see this canelo kid lose?

Canelo is a title holder which means nobody should have to "give him time" to do anything. Until he fights and beats a true live fighter my opinion of him as a fighter will remain the same. Canelo couldn't even stop an overmatched Alfonso Gomez in 3-4 rounds. And yes, that stoppage was bogus. So it's highly unlikely that he'll have the easy fight with Kirkland that you expect. He's not going to fight Kirkland anyway so it's a moot point. The fact that his team will keep him away from that fight should tell you what you need to know.

The WBC ALWAYS finds ways to delay mandatories. Just look at Chavez jr and Sergio Martinez. Martinez was PROMISED a fight with Chavez after he beat Zbik. Now Chavez is scheduled to fight Peter Manfredo

Don't ever count on the WBC doing the right thing or even enforcing their own rules!

True stuff.

Canelo vs Kirkland is an excellent fight. Alvarez may be young, but the dude is sitting on a world title in a stacked division. He isn't a fraud like Chavez jr; it's put up or shut up time.

Unless Arum is willing to cash in Chavez Jr against Canelo in his next fight (and I think he is), Chavez needs to fight Kirkland in the first half of 2012.

canelo should fight kirkland...i mean why do you need more time to prepare for kirkland. If you dont have the chin now, what difference does it make a year from now. Canelo can beat this guy, would be a nice notch on his belt but his people are protecting the f out of this guy despite having no problem making him a paper champ

wasnt the winner of this fight supposed to fight "red" next? i thought thats what the wbc said in a statement?

Canelo ****s Kirkland!!! Kirkland looked like **** on Sat and only won bevause Angulo looked worse. Alvarez is very accurate and has power. Kirkland does have a weak chin and has been down and hurt multiple times while Alvarez has been hurt only once and proceeded to dominate and stop the opponent.

It's a mismatch TBH.

Kirkland is just a headless chicken. Canelo would beat him. Although, there are slim chances for this fight to happen.

I don't expect GBP to match Canelo that tough right now

I dont want him to lose. I just want the fights to happen. You just said Canelo's right hand is going to be landing everytime he throws it so why must we wait for this fight to happen? If its that easy then you are clearly saying he is ready right now! Imma put my money on Canelo in a close fight, but I just dont get the fact that he is walking around as a champion and ppl saying he still needs time to develop. When will Canelo be ready? He is beating former champions which is a good thing, holding a WBC title with several title defenses, has nearly 40 total fights with 250+ rounds (way more then Kirkland) and according to GBP, his resume in Mexico was against quality opposition so I think he is ready, dont you?

Kirkland gots no CHIN!!!!!!!!!!! Alvarez will exploit this anyday, what happened to the "Perro" fans? Kirkland is good but Alvarez is accurate and will exploit that glass jaw!!!!!
