Agreed. Would love if they gave him a big challenge now. Kirkland might be too big a challenge but it would still be a good decision to put him in there.
Well if you look at a big challenge..he just called out Floyd ffs...so fighting Kirkland doesnt sound that crazy
Better chin? Alvarez, better boxing skills? Alvarez. Imo those 2 things i mention even though Kirkland has power, i could see Canelo outboxing Kirkland and ko Kirkland countering him to a left hook in which Kirkland dont see it coming like the way Angulo did in the first round by nailing Kirkland with a counter right hand.
I agree Alvarez could stop him early as Kirkland is vulnerable, but once Kirkland gets settled in I think it would be a long tough night for Alvarez, He'd get tko'd or corner throws in the towel in rounds 9,10,11
dont kid yourself man canelos boxing skills are on another level compared to kirkland.kirkland is sloppy and off balance,look at his footwork in his fight with angulo, its terrible.canelo ko by rd 8 easy.
How will Canelo react when he fights somebody with power and somebody that is no hesitant to throw punches and wont get tired?? Also Kirkland will push Canelo and not the other way around...should be an interesting fight..the deeper the fight goes the more i see it for Kirkland
Canelo TKO's Kirkland if Canelo makes it the distance and survives Kirklands early onslaught, but I only see if Kirkland decides to fight Canelo like he did Angulo he will get early TKO'd... he must apply more defense and constant pressure, but not overwhelming where he opens himself up to canelo counters.... which makes it so interesting for me
