Kirkland was knocked down 3 times and the ref stopped the fight in round one. GGG beat Ishida with ease and knocked him out cold.Maybe triangle theories don't work but that is enough for me to say GGG is better. Kirkland could have rematched Ishida to show he could do better but he turned that fight down. Some on here think GGG is badly overrated. I think GGG has shown how good he is and Kirkland is overrated. Kirkland is easy to hit and his power is overrated. Kirkland usually gets KOs by beating his man down with dozens of punches. He is not a one punch knock out guy but GGG is. Kirkland has often priced himself out of good fights. GGG is a real champion. Kirkland has never been a champion and he never will be a champion. He may remain a contender for a while longer but he does not have what it takes to be a champion in my opinion.
    Who said GGG was ducking Kirkland?

    Do you know how much Kirk asked for the GGG fight

    Also, what makes you think his power is overrated when a guy who sparred both GGG and Kirk says Kirk is the harder puncher

                  But since that fight has fireworks written all over it, why don't they just pay the man what he's asking for?

                  Ratings + Action = $$$$


                  kirkland wasnt offered the fight against ggg for april. he us supposed too fight on ggg undercard in april, then fight ggg in the summer around july/august

                    That's probably not far from the truth either.

                      All I could find:




                      But according to sources involved in the talks, Kirkland’s camp has rejected the fight. Instead, there’s a good chance that Kirkland, of Austin, Texas, will wind up on the April 26 HBO undercard with the understanding that if Kirkland and Golovkin both win they would meet in the summer.
                      You can cross former middleweight titlist Daniel Geale off the list of potential opponents for Gennady Golovkin’s April 26 HBO fight at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York.


                      Do you actually want to see Kirkland-Golovkin OP?
