Alvarez-Kirkland eyed for September

[Rocky Rode]

I know Canelo was stunned once before when he was a teenager fighting a grown man, but has he ever been down? I know he hasn't been fighting the toughest competition, but I don't get why people say his chin sucks. We really don't know if Canelo has a chin or not. Him getting stunned at a lower weight class when he was 19 isn't really a good indication of whether or not he has a chin at 154. I remember De La Hoya was knocked down a couple times when he was fighting at lightweight and he ended up having an ATG chin when he moved up to 147-154.

I'm not saying Canelo has a great chin. I'm just trying to say that Canelo's chin is a huge question mark right now. We really don't know if he has a bad chin.

I agree.

Same can't be said for Kirkland though.

Definitely flash knockdowns...

Canelo will have this guy wheeled out of there on a stretcher .

[Light_Speed]

Boy got dropped 5 times and his fans have the nerve to talk about chins?

[mathed]

That would be an all out war. Great fight that I think Canelo takes and he stops Kirkland by round 10. Canelo is the next big boy on the scene, the next star in the making.

[WESS]

This would be awesome!

If Canelo can beat Kirkland do so convincingly, without holding 118 times, a fight with Floyd becomes legitimate for December no doubt.

But, there will be a lot of people eating their words if Kirkland can beat Canelo.
