    Rumor has it Canelo will face williams in sept , and im thinking a big fight with cotto would follow ,

    ortiz vs kirkland has war written all over it , both guys are full of +'s and
    -'s, but both bring power and excitement to their fights
    and thew winner could be placed to fight canelo or cotto afterwards

    I think Ortiz sends Krikland back to fighting c level fighters.

    very possible , but you kinda gotta ask yourself could victor have gotten up from that angulo knockdown and beat him like kirkland did ,

    Nah don't see it, even though I like the fight. Just too risky for both fighters at this point.

    Ortiz is too small.

    Ortiz is more talented than Kirkland. But I can't help but think Kirkland has too much of a nut sack for that *****.

    Still, it would be a good shootout.

    Now that's an interesting twist. Canelo Williams? Sounds sweet, and Kirkland-Ortiz has broken glass written all over it. Im in! :D

    Kirkland is naturally bigger than Ortiz and is more of an animal, but he's also downright laughable defensively and has serious durability issues, so it wouldn't surprise me if Ortiz put him on his ass and kept him there. I'd favor Kirkland though.

    Dont think it will happen.

    My guess is that Ortiz and Berto will face each other twice this year.

    It's no given that Ortiz gets past Berto - and if he does, it's no given he moves up in weight.

    Kirkland vs Bundrage would make some sense. And it would make greater sense if in fact a Canelo-Williams Fall PPV comes to fruition so that fight can be featured as the co-main event on the card.

    Good fight.

    But it seems like Alexander will fight Malignagi.

    If Kirkland can get through the first 4 rounds Ortiz is eventually gonna quit. Good fight but would rather Alvarez vs Kirkland
