Honestly think they could market the hell out of this fight.. HBO would use the Angulo fight to show Kirkland can come back from being dropped, and say the Ishida KO was a fluke since Angulo is a bigger puncher and couldn't stop him, only to get stopped himself in his country.. Casuals won't know Angulo gassed himself out going for the KO.. Casuals will eat it up when they see how big/strong Kirkland is vs Floyd just coming out of jail complaining about not eating and his future in boxing in jeopardy. Honestly not sure what weight Floyd will campaign at when he's out of jail this year though... But who else would he fight? Cotto 2 doesn't make sense, didn't win enough rounds.. Pac fight won't happen.. who's left?
Floyd the R&B looking Black guy vs Kirkland the big buff football player looking Black guy. Floyd hasn't ever fought anyone in his career that fits into this stereotype:yep
and Kirkland's trainer could carry a heavy load during the 24 7 Both camps need to have an interesting person to have a great 24 7. Hatton had Hatton. Juan had no one. Mosley had Bro Naz and himself. Ortiz had no one. Cotto(e) had Pedro
doubt this will happen even as a tune up fresh outa jail but if so that's all it will be and it makes sense to take a lesser fight and make sure his body feels right in there before jumping back in the thick of things. I'm kinda hoping Guererro gets beat by Aydin though but Guerrero beating a legit WW for a mando shot at Floyd and Guerrerro then being WBC welter champ would make it aight if just for Floyd to make sure he still got it after the sentence.
