    Kirkland needs to be handled more carefully than Canelo does, in my opinion. Which is why, during the period Canelo is involved in the fights mentioned, Kirkland would be pitted against more manaeable competition. He almost got derailed again last time out. Don't see GBP making the same mistake again. They'll wanna' keep him undefeated and raise his percieved threat by having him knock folks out, before the eventual showdown with Canelo. That's what they're using him for - that big, almost career-defining opponent for their golden-boy, Canelo. And if Kirkland is destroyed by him like you say, then that'll be GBP's plan played out perfectly.

    Perfect fight to be made just like Mosley. These are the guys to build up the resume, skills and legacy one step at a time.

    PW strength = workrate
    Canelo's Weakness = Workrate

    Close canelo desicion, 116-112

    PW isnt prime anymore

    He made Mosley look like the elephant man by the end of that fight.

    The one thing Mosley's still got is his chin, and Kirkland can't take the kind of measured beating Alvarez will put on him. He doesn't have the defense to prevent it or the chin to stand up to it. His only hope is to go all out to knock out Canelo before that happens.

    Such bull****, Canelo beat mosley, and did a better job of doing so than pac or pbf. Mosley wanted to stop the Damn fight against Canelo. I actually felt sorry for mosley, that's how bad it was.

    Against pac and pbf, mosley just looked old.

    Canelo's resume is starting to look really good. Still dangerous fight with Pwill possibly pulling the upset.

    Definitely needs to be some type of tournament for this division. So many match ups.

    Mosley was shot. He couldn't pull the trigger. If you look at the shots he thrw it was obvious.

    Canelo would get inside on Williams, and land those short shots of his at will. I'm guessing that PW has slowed down too much to really bother Canelo with his pressure/work-rate. If Canelo had actual power, I'd favor a KO, but Maravilla he is not, so I'll say 9-3 UD.

    JAJAJA, PW will be the first fighter that will test Canelo, this is not a fight with an end we already know like all the fights before, if Canelo wins he can call himself a real Champ then move on to the Lara's, Vanes, Trouts, even Berto or Ortiz if they can't make 147 anymore, good fight that could be all wrong for Alvarez do to Williams work rate, lets get it on!!
    Ain't happening thought
