    He said he would fight Canelo while being hurt for 2.5 mil. That's not what he's asking for to fight healthy.
    Than if he's hurt and can't go, don't entertain the fight. Come back against a Rosado in October or November, and than go fo a Canelo fight in Early 2013.

    Asking for 2.5M hurt ot healthy is crazy talk, flat out. He's insane if he thinks he's getting 2.5M.

      I'm just going by what is the most realistic situation. I still hope and pray Kirkland will drop his demand of 2.5M, because it's ridiculous. Kirkland would be lucky to get 1 million after the Molina fight, injury or not.
      Even if Kirkland fights in Oct/Nov to test out his shoulder out, what's the rush for Canelo?

      All he has to do is wait a few months to February or something. The object here is to be flexible.

        That's why I just said if he's not fully ready to go, fight a Rosado (good/solid fight) in the fall, and than go for Canelo in 2013............

          Got ya.

          I was watching the game and replying to you at the same time. I thought you meant Canelo should fight Rosado in the fall then go for Cotto in 2013.

          But if you meant Kirk fighting Rosado as tune-up to test his shoulder, then fight Canelo early 2013, cool.

            Told you, Bunderage or Trout. You'll just make collecting those belts all the more easier for Mayweather

              If golden boy is true to their word and Canelo fights only belt holders nobody should complain about that. Lara and the other top guys should target the belt holder Canelo is not fighting first. Win a belt and Canelo has to fight you next. I think the plan is Trout first, then Bundrage and then Floyd. One fighter getting all 4 belts would be great no matter who that fighter turned out to be. The reason they all target Canelo is he biggest payday at 154 next to Floyd and Cotto.

                I really don't see Floyd-Canelo happening in May 2013. I don't think Oscar thinks he's ready, and I think they want a Canelo-Cotto fight first.

                I think we're going to see Alvarez-Trout and Bundrage-Rosado in the early fall. Than, if Alvarez wins, he'll fight the winner of that fight in December. Than, I think we'll see Alvarez-Cotto in May 2013.

                  Canelo unifying titles at 22 is pretty cool.

                    I thought his next fight was a mandatory not an unification, but I guess they can make the rules as they go, my question for all Canelo's fans and wannabe match makers and promoters is, who is the most dangerous fighter of them al, for Canelo I meantl?

                      Kirkland was the mando... then Vanes is next. But then again, unification over rules mandatory... unless the WBC feels like making more money, they'll over rule that for a name opponent to line their pockets
