He's going to surpass Ted Kid Lewis as the best British Welter of all time. Beating Kell Brook will probably get him into the top 5, then a win over Mayweather or Pacquiao will elevate him to number 1.
I know, I mentioned it in the 'what fights you watched' thread that I watched Laing vs Lueshing the other day as I try and make a case for Kirkland :yep:good
I think he will beat mayweather and pacquiao, he's shown he can fight and mix it with the best. Revenge for his brother will give him the extra edge in these fights. Despite the stick he gets on here we have to credit his speed as better than both floyd and pac, his lightning jab will surely negate any sustained attack. He's the white ray leonard.
**** that, he'll unify those-then the WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF and Ring belts on top of them. He'll then go on to beat Pacquiao in a classic fight at the Altrincham Leisure Centre, then destroy Mayweather at a sold out G-Mex like Paddy Considine avenging his bro in Dead Mans Shoes to cap a hall of fame career and become a bigger name than his brother. Keep the faith.
Option 2 is clearly redundant. He's european champion of the world, no British wter is at world level so that makes him clearly britains best. He's also already failed in 1 world title fight so he can win the rematch. Mad matt hatton has it all. The rematch the fans are crying out for, the looks, the skills, the natural charisma. I'm feeling a fair bit of hate on here for Mad Matt Hatton. Not very nice
