    Kirkland won't make it past 6 rounds against Canelo, bad mismatch, I'll rather see him fight Williams or Cotto.

    Cotto would be the best test and a fight I'd love to see. Kirkland deserves it the most though, so I voted for him. It sucks we're getting Paul Williams instead.

    Cotto fight ain't a Test... its an Event.

    Lara/Kirkland/Molina/Williams

    Those are tests.

    Fight Kirkland first to get ready for other southpaws Pwilly and Lara. But really any fight would be great. Canelo is improving as long as he's getting his butt whipped and learning new things from GGG Canelo is transforming from red headed oddity into a beast himself. I think right now I'd only favor Molina and Lara to beat him, but it wouldn't be easy for them. Canelo has the potential to be the best just needs to put himself to the test.

    To be fair many wanted Kirkland but he said he ain't ready which was gbps number one choice... this fight is supposed to be a stepping stone for the elites like cotto and may.

    I feel like Canelo is rushing the Floyd fight. Build your legacy first young fella you still have fish to fry before you go after the shark in Floyd. Willams, Lara, and Molina are good test with Kirkland being a great fight while it lasts but he'd get beat up by Alvarez though I'd love to see it.

    Hahaha, just as I said earlier. Lets wait to see if he beats Williams which I hope he does. Has a bright future ahead of him if he makes the smart moves and I wish him a great career. Not going back on my words I still give credit to Alvarez win or loss for stepping up. Williams is still a very good fighter and not the walkover I see people expecting him to be. Even if he will be lol, props to Cinnamon.

    I can understand everyone wanting to throw Canelo in there with the dogs i.e. Cotto and Kirkland. Canelo is the champ and has been spoon-fed opponents like Hatton and Gomez. But i gotta admit they are doing a beautiful job. And i gotta applaud Canelo for taking care of business. The kid is fighting 4 times a year and is looking more and more impressive. Looking at this list, p will is probably the best choice. Style-wise its fan friendly, will produce fireworks and p wil is on the downslide so its not TOO dangerous. After this i say throw Canelo in a mega-fight vs someone like Cotto.

    To me, the Kirkland fight would've sold more and P. Williams despite I don't see him winning, may causes more problems than Kirkland (he ain't among the dogs).

    Well P Will is a bigger name so i cant say i agree with Kirkland selling more. Williams probably will present more problems than Kirkland style-wise. I see Canelo dominating Kirkland after 4 or 5 rounds. P Will will be a little tougher to crack.
