    Saul Alvarez vs. James Kirkland

    If Kirkland beats Molina, and given that Alvarez wins against who ever he will be fighting, unless it's Floyd of course, this is the fight I want to happen in the late summer.

    I'd like to see Alvarez fight someone like Vanes in April, than step it up some more with Kirkland.

    Cotto probably won't be there, because he'll probably be fighting Floyd or Manny in May-June.

    The winner would definitely be in line to fight Floyd Mayweather. Alvarez will have gotten wins over Vanes (a good, unbeaten contender) and Kirkland (one of the top 154 lb fighters in the world), and he would be seen as legit. It would make Mayweather-Alvarez a very legit fight, where as now it's a C+/B- fight.

    And if Kirkland were to win, he'd have wins over Angulo, Molina, and Alvarez, all top 154 lb fighters. It would make Mayweather-Kirkland look like a pretty big showdown, and a huge risk for Floyd.

    From what I've seen I would give James a slight edge.

    Canelo has yet to fight a bigger stronger guy.

    That's Kirkland.

          I honestly have no idea. These two are kind of unpredictable / unproven but I would give the edge to Kirkland becaue ann wolfe is a scary freak from hell.

                I know Kirkland has a suspect chin, but he DID get up after taking a brutal punch from Angulo and surivived that round. Came back and beat Angulo down. We know more about Kirkland than Alvarez and we'll know even more after he fights Molina. I'd like to see Canelo fight Vanes, a young and unbeaten top contender. We'd learn more about Canelo than.

                We've yet to see Canelo hurt and he would get hurt by Kirkland. I'd just like to see what he's made of against a really good fighter.

                Alvarez-Kirkland would also launch the winner into a possible fight with Floyd.

                    Great action fight. I could easily see it going either way. Maybe a slight edge to Alvarez? I don't know.
