When is the last time Mayweather or Pacquiao fought a Kirkland-level opponent?

[Doctor_Tenma]

Only against Canelo is Kirkland a mismatch. He matches up well with any other JMW.

I understand Flowemoes are riding a high like none other right now after getting redemption on Pac after 5-years of being degraded but get ahold of yourselves. There's more to boxing than watching Floyd rob us blind and bore us in the ring. Get over yourselves.

Kirkland is better off dressing in hooker's clothing cause any decent Jr MW or MW gets a piece of him.

Chris Algieri and Victor Ortiz

I think you're being slightly harsh on Kirkland.

I didn't even mention his footwork now, you relax

Evidence to this point suggests otherwise. Anything else is just a mere opinion or assumption. You can sit here and give me your take on fights between Kirkland and guys he hasn't fought but that doesn't make it fact.

You don't get it, you really don't and none of that is even relevant. Also, I know he wasn't a 10-1 favorite to get Maidana out of there.

My point is, a shit fight involving Kirkland was used to continuously belittle the fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao, that's not suppose to be difficult to comprehend now. If all it took was that, then how far back would I have to go to see those two against a Kirkland-level opponent?

It's obvious which people are leaking with emotions now, they can't even stay on topic.

Yea, he was a 10-1 favorite. How much was he favored over Guerrero who's best win up to that time was Andre ****ing berto? Don't twist things in your favor. You asked a question and can't handle the answers.

The point is this. Kirkland was a top 10 jmw just as Guerrero and maidana were considered top 10 ww. It's not our fault Floyd can't close the show in exciting fashion like Canelo can. It's not our fault the Canelo fight was 10x more exciting than any mayweather fight in the last 10 years.

In the end a win is a win. So props to May and Canelo. But the truth is the truth. Canelo pulled through with a great victory just when boxing was under the gun from the blowback from May-PAC. Don't act like there wasn't countless articles from various sources saying it was a shyt fight either. That goes beyond fanboyism, it was public opinion. So who here is dealing with emotions?

The hate for Canelo on this website is very disturbing.

But that's just what you did by bringing it up.

Not really. Kirkland vs Ishida turned out to be a mismatch too.

Well, who's out there with an equally as shitty chin/ defense, it's almost like you have to try to be that bad defensively.

Yea.
