    I would rather see Kirkland vs Mayweather, this fight can and will sell Kirkland is young aggressive and a southpaw, bigger, and with Wolfe seems like a beast. I think it would be a great match, but again this is a business, how will it sell?
    I rather see the huge fight first to end all the idiotic topics on chickens, ducking, etc etc. how will Kirkland sell to the casuals? everything you can say about him will be believed by most when talking about Manny.

    its not a reward, its closure on all the BS. you really can't fault Pac for having Arum hold a grudge on Floyd. Manny has earned his paydays, regardless of jmm III

      I think it would sell just fine. Ortiz had NO following until he beat Berto in a great fight. And Ortiz has zero personality.

      Kirkland has had a core following for years, and his fight with Angulo was wild. And he and Wolfe would "out ******" the Mayweathers in any prefight show.

      I'm sure Mayweather would consider Kirkland no tougher than Ortiz, but Kirkland wouldn't apologize if he headbutted Mayweather, either. And he is much more aggressive than Ortiz.

      This might be a case of the "bullies" (The Mayweathers) getting outbullied.

        Imagine the backlash from the media, who's now favoring Floyd, if he beats Kirkland. they'd grill him for fighting a guy who got stopped by a guy with 5 kos

          That following was invisible going into the Angulo fight, infact there was like 8 of us who thought Kirkland would win

            Are you Manny Pacquiao? This isn't a Pacquiao thread. This isn't a Canelo thread.

            This is a Floyd Mayweather should fight James Kirkland thread.

              That's about as many followers and believers Ortiz had before he fought Berto.

              Kirkland is a viable name with full HBO support. He's 30-1 with 27 knockouts. He's bigger and stronger than Mayweather. He's got a style that meshes with Mayweather's. He's got a story that would work well in contrast to Mayweather's.

              Kirkland has the style to land power shots and he has the strength to bully Mayweather, and Floyd has the power in his right to drop Kirkland.

              Mayweather would be the favorite (then again he'll be the favorite against everyone he faces), but Kirkland would be a live dog.

                  Anne Wolfe could not only out-****** Uncle Roger and Floyd Senior, I'd take her to beat both of their asses on the stage during the weigh-in. It's hard to maintain street cred when you've been living in mansions for the better part of your life. The Mayweathers would be exposed for the posers they are when faced with people who are actually trying to fight their way out.

                    I thought Kirkland was going to win. Once i saw that Cruiserweight video of him beating him down, i was convinced.

                    I dont think i made a post of it though, but i have nothing to prove.
