Canelo couldnt put angulo down.

[Boxing Goat]

Kirkland to me doesn't have the chin to withstand Canelo's combination punching. I think Angulo getting dropped was a process of him punching himself out and getting broken down.

This is a very good and accurate post. Well put.

So wait, Canelo fights a championship bout against Mayweather and loses. He then fights what should have been a tough tune-up fight against Angulo but wins easily. Why should he fight another tune-up bout against the likes of Kirkland? Sounds like another step down to me. It's time Canelo resumes the climb up the ladder.

How in the world would Kirkland be a tune up fight?

He beat Angulo wayyy before Canelo and he only has one loss. He actually has a better resume at 154 than Canelo himself.

If Canelo beats Kirkland great, but this is in no way, shape, size or form a tune-up fight

Alvarez has already been to the mountain top. Kirkland has not even come close. I guess after looking at Kirkland's resume, and recalling how Ishida Ko'd him in the first round, I just don't hold him in that high a regard. And no way has Kirkland faced the big names that Alvarez has. Considering all of this and the fact that Canelo would destroy him, it's a step down, tune-up fight.

I think canelo power is questional. He could not floor angulo I no angulo is tuff but kirkland put him down so that makes me wonder who would win a toe to toe battle canelo vs kirland my money is on kirkand as long as wolf is in his corner what do you think?

Your English is "questional" too.


Read a book.

I think people are underestimating Kirkland. The Ishida fight was obviously a set back but guaranteed, if he had Wolfe in his corner, that fight would have been the complete opposite of what happened. If he didn't have a decent chin, he never would have gotten up and did to Angulo what he did, especially within the first round. Angulo may have punched himself out but there's no denying that Kirkland landed some monstrous body shots that significantly effected Angulo. Not saying Kirkland would win, but if he can get inside on Canelo, he has a good shot as his shots are much shorter and crisper with much more power behind them. Kirkland also has a very good uppercut which I think would have good success.

Kirkland really has two losses.

But I agree, I don't see Kirkland as a tune-up fight for Canelo.

But if Kirkland did have a decent chin, he wouldn't have gone down 3 times against Ishida, who has a 27.78% KO ratio! http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?cat...human_id=24450 Wolfe's being there or not can't affect whether he has a good chin or not. Let's not forget, Kirkland has rarely had his chin tested, and when he has, he's gone down.

Kirkland would get stopped in about 5 rounds.
