Who's Going To Replace Paul Williams for Saul Alvarez?

[Rantcatrat]

Canelo- kirkland is almost done for september 15th..

cotto sounds good but canelo would knock him out.


At least kirland is young, hungry, and has a aggressive style thatight trpuble the young champ.

I wana see how canelo handles himself when someone tries to rougj him up with volumes of punches.

Fortunately for you, they won't let him anywhere NEAR Cotto until Cotto's nearing retirement, and Canelo has a few more years of experience in him. So your theory will remain just that...... a theory.

My opinion is if Canelo breezes by Kirkland then we may very well see him in against Cotto next. Allegedly, Kirkland is his mandatory, even though Kirkland didn't fight Vanes for the mandatory position first, which would give Canelo a chance to take a voluntary defense against some like Cotto. Cotto v. Canelo is a big ppv.

Cotto beats Canelo....FACT

[Glinchdogg]

Cotto would smash canelo into bits

cinnamon-colored bits

Jim jones wants his kool aid back. It's not a stretch to say that the hardest Canelo has been pressed and jabbed over his last 4+ fights was vs a Alfonso Gomez. Alfonso flipping Gomez. I don't see him blowing Cotto anywhere at this particular time.

I'm first interested to see him get smacked square on the chin by a wreckless but dangerous Kirkland who might actually believe he wasn't brought in as a guy waiting for ink to just dry on his paycheck.

I don't think anyone would mind Kirkland as a replacement.

Agree 100%, Spicoli. A Kirkland fight would be good at SO many levels. Now that's a match I'd gladly sit down with a bag of popcorn, or a six-pack of beer (whichever the mood) to watch.

It will be Kirkland, orderd by the WBC. Great fight, I dont know how it will go though. Im thinking Alvarez KO though.

Alvarez is getting damn good imo, I can't see Kirkland standing up to his punches at all. It will be really fun while it lasts and it's great if they get it made, but I don't see many positives for Kirkland going in.

I like his composure. He thinks through but not to the point of snoring. He chooses his attack but in fairness he largely has had that option in there.

I really want to see him bumrushed freely and where the instincts are. Kirkland won't settle but in the end I think Alvarezs poise and timing on a face first will see Kirkland laying on the mat Allen Green style.

As unfortunate a circumstance as it is, as a sub Kirkland makes good sense.
