This guy has had 38 fights, should have stepped up 10-12 fights ago and fought someone. Anyway, he's a money bag for Golden Boy, so he gets the tomato can schedule. His next fight is Cintron.
Once again, boxing is BS. Kirkland is slow, and had too much down-time in prison to fight this 21 yr old. Canelo vs Amir since they both play around light-middleweight. It won't happen because Oscar and Arum have to make money.
First Amir Khan a super lightweight (140 pounds), not a junior middleweight!
Second Amir Khan is a Golden Boy Promotion fighter just like Canelo!
If Golden Boy want to put one of his fighter against his 2 star (Canelo or Khan) they will be for sure Canelo!
Canelo is bigger ,stronger than Khan and would win against Kirkland!
Khan instead is too light and fragile to be put against a beast like Kirkland.
Yes Khan could outbox Kirkland but it a remote chance that will happen (remember that Amir was close to be KO by Maidana and won a very close fight, and if they ever fight again I am not sure that Khan would win again against the argentinian again).
I don't think Golden Boy will ever put Amir vs Kirkland, because Kirkland could hurt Khan for good!
Canelo vs Kirkland instead would be an interesting fight , Canelo would score a great victory against a credible opponent like Kirkland and step up to fight even better opponents like Martinez,Pac or Mayweather!
