This fight should be made ASAP ! Both fighters wont back down from one another and both love to trade blow for blow . Stylistically , this fight is a potential fight of the year candidate and a treat to us boxing fanatics . So heres the question.. who gets knocked out in this War ESB ???
Isn't the weight disparity enough between him and genuine middleweights that don't resort to cheating to make weight. Why have him in against a light middleweight?
It's not a fight I would advise Kirkland to take, as he gets KO'd in 1-3 rounds. Chavez is too big and too tough and can most likely take whatever Kirkland hands out without flinching.
Kirkland is my boy, but JR would stop him. Jrs too big, Kirkland doesnt belong at middleweight, and he doesnt have the quality to make up for his lack of size (as Martinez and GGG do) I would expect JR to walk Kirkland down and stop him around the 4th or so, in a complete war. Would be an awesome fight though while it lasted. Kirkland is the epitome of a 154lb fighter, imo. Meanwhile chavez could easily be at 168 and very well could be in his next fight.
He has derailed his career yet again by suing GBP, wolfe, his managers, ect..... then they counter sued and it seems to be one big legal mess. He wont be back for awhile. Very likely that his days of making waves are over.
