Kirkland pulls out !

[Tam Seddon]

With Trout-Rodriguez, Brundrage-Spinks, Vanes-Davis, Mundine-McKart, Rosado-Powell, already scheduled, I'm thinking all that leaves for Canelo is: Carlos Molina, Erislandy Lara, Lukas Konecy, Charlie Ota, Carlos Quintana (maybe), Alfredo Angulo, David Lopez.


I would think a fight with Sergio Mora would do Canelo good

I think Lara deserves the fight , he's a great fighter and would be the best test for Canelo. I think Quintana was impressive too last time out, he might not be a bad test for Canalo.

I just wonder if it's too quick of a turn around for Quintana.....Lara would be the best option. Still wouldn't mind seeing Canelo KO Sergio Mora (although I doubt that would happen even if they fought).

I have this feeling that slick boxers will be very difficult for Canelo. You look in the past at guys like Julio Cesar Chavez and how impressive he was until he fought Pernell Whittaker, I'm thinking it will be like that for Canelo.

Lara is a risky fight for Canelo but im pretty sure he's earned the fight, I can't remember his ranking but i don't think it will be that far behind Kirklands.

I don't think a mora fight would be HBO PPV quality IMO. I think it's a tough call for the promoters on who to pick. I think Angulo would be good for the Mexican fans but he's put himself out of the picture with that Kirkland performance though.
