    This one is far more winnable than Canelo I'll tell you that much. What's with the Kirkland hype lately, this guy gets rocked every freaking fight, has so many flaws yet people want to see him in against top class opposition, why?!

      Can I assume you would take Canelo over Kirkland?

          Why do you say @154 as if Kirkland would weigh 154lbs come fight time. It'll be more like @168. You don't fight someone at their dehydrated weight. U fight them at their optimal fighting weight.

            See I give Kirkland a chance against anyone because he can crack and sure he might be chinney but he's only lost that one fight and that was at a bad point in his life. I could see him KO'ing a winded Canelo late in a fight. See him catching Manny and doing the same to him.

              A winded Canelo is still gonna have a very easy target in front of him, so I can't see it.

                Kirland rehydrates to 174 pounds during fight night. I think Pacquiao might out box in the first few round, but once James starts hitting him. I think he might KTFO Pacquiao in the later rounds.

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)

                  I agree with this assessment.

                    Imagine how Rios was hitting Manny in the clinches...how itd look Kirkland doing that. Roach would stop it QUICK. Pac would get rag dolled. I would boycott that fight lol.
