Mayweather vs Kirkland?

[Kagami Taiga]

Alvarez isn't a pressure fighter, though. He never was and anyone who made a prediction involving him becoming one was fooling themselves. I said as much before the fight.

Kirkland can't even begin to compete with Floyd in any way skill or talent wise, but he's huge. He's the potential "weight classes for a reason" opponent people fooled themselves into thinking Alvarez was. Mayweather would have no problem hitting Kirkland or making him miss. He'd probably hurt him early. Really the only question is whether he can control Kirkland in the clinch. If he can, no difficulty whatsoever for Floyd.

What if he can't, and the fifth, sixth, seventh round rolls around? What if the size and ridiculous pressure Kirkland only knows how to bring starts to wear on the much smaller man? That's where questions would exist and this fight could be hard. Kirkland is a strange, strange case at 154. He's crude, has little skill or technique, and is dumb as a box of rocks. But he is a tank past the first couple of rounds. You have to either hurt him or have the strength to control him up close.

I don't think he's the tank he's made out to be. And no I didn't say he was anything like canelo but as far as his threat to floyd, he's exactly the same. Ppl seem to have this idea that fighters give up trying yo beat and pressure Floyd of their own will. What they don't get is it doesnt work that way. Kirkland isn't gonna keep throwing and missing for a complete 12 rounds, getting smacked and socked repeatedly. It just isn't gonna happen. One of Floyd's greatest asset is to make his opponents second guess themselves. Once that doubt sets in, its over. Kirkland would be absolutely no different.

Forget Ishida!

Kirkland was just out of jail and living like a king for weeks before that fight. He simply wasn't ready and got dropped 3X for automatic KO. But when he is right, he is way too big, strong and tenacious for Mayweather to oppose him. It's fun to debate it, but Floyd will never fight this 100+ puncher per round. And yes, that's why Floyd didn't face a prime Margarito either. he doesn't want that kind of night. He ain't a ****** man.

Dude, relax.What I'm willing to bet has nothing to do with the point. Kirkland has no chance at beating Floyd.

AGAIN, you are showing that you have not been around Boxing long because "NO CHANCE" does not exist!! Stop saying zero or no chance! Stop using those naïve words!
