Pacquiao vs. Kirkland @ 154

[Big_L]

i want pac/bradley but if that's not gonna happen kirkland would be a much better fight than ruslan or gamboa.

with ann wolfe talking **** on 24/7 it would sell better too. i know it's dangerous (too dangerous, that's why it won't happy) but pacquiao is certainly capable of beating kirkland.

would yall except this fight?

Pacquiao would never fight him. Team Pacquiao said after his fight with Margarito that he would never again fight above 147 because he was too small to take the punishment of the bigger men. Kirkland has nothing to offer. He has no title and he is not rated that high. A win over Kirkland really doesn't do much for Pacquiao. Kirkland is fun to watch and he will beat lesser fighters like Tapia. Kirkland is very easy to hit and easy to hurt. Pacquiao is way too fast, skillful and hard hitting for this face fighter and Pacquiao would take him out early, Ann Wolfe or not.

I agree with just about all of this except the whole being taken out early bit at the end. Kirkland is high risk, very low reward for Pacman at his point and it would never happen at 154.

Unless Pacquiao scores a shocking early KO, he gets taken out. Weight classes exist for a reason.

Pac would slaughter Kirkland. It would be as bad as margarito. Kirkland too slow...Pac would land 5 punch combinations before kirkland can get a punch off.

[Beercules]

I think Pacquiao would batter Kirkland. He's just too fast and uses angles that would trouble James.

It's a high risk because Pacquiao isn't a big WW nvm JMW

Pac should be too fast... But can he even take a few Kirkland bombs? There's always the chance Kirkland just bulldozes pac into the ropes and grabs him and roughs him up... P4p Pac takes it BY fAR! Different leagues...but I'm not dumb enough to pretend Kirkland isnt big and strong as s hit. Marg was never a huge puncher, Kirkland IS a big puncher at 154. Pac cant KO a legitimate 147 pounder, he wont stop Kirkland. Hell no, not early unless he catches him ice cold with some Ishida Hiroshima bomb.




Call me crazy but Kirkland takes this. The size is too much...Pac is fast, but not fast enough to avoid EVERYTHING. He's not defensively sound enough... (As if Kirkland is but Pac too small to hurt him)

[Haterfree]

We are talking about the same Pac that got knocked senseless by JMM right. I think that guy should stay away from Kirkland.

Manny would whoop him like he did margarito and probably stop him if he had the ariza shakes

[jwheels9876]

Hmmmm, I don't like this fight at all for PAC. Kirkland can crack with the best of them. Late stoppage for Kirkland if he can catch up to Manny. Skills wise it's a no brainer. Could Kirkland pass a OSDT???
