Kirtland would be like Floyd fighting a suped up version of Ricky Hatton; I saying that the pressure Ricky put on Floyd cause him fits and Kirtland would do that I give alot better shotof beating Floyd than alot ofother fighters.
Floyd Mayweather will destroy him
That guy is a south pole and I know south pole don't like straight right hnds but James Kirkland seems to et alot of tht and you all know how good Myaweather counter with his right hand!
South Pole.
SOUTH POLE.
Honestly GD, I have not seen enough evidence to suggest that he is.
Right now he is just a prospect and even though he is much bigger than Floyd, Kirkland is very crude and would be running into counters all night.
well said. thanks
hes only been off since 08. not THAT long. and hes still young
We weren't sure how good he would be against top opposition before he was locked up. My point is that after the layoff and 1 or 2 tuneups, we still won't know what he's capable of, it has nothing to do with his age.
As weird as this sounds... I think Kirkland would be one of the more likely candidates to beat Floyd Mayweather. He's big, is a huge puncher and is one of the most aggressive fighters I've ever seen.
As Songalia put it, pressure was oozing out of the TV when he fought Julio.
I didn't even think about Mayweather losing to him until I saw this topic.
Good thread.
I loved watching Kirkland fight, hopefully he can get sharp pretty quick.
Forget Mayweather, I think a more realistic (and a fight I'd love to see) opponent after tune-ups would be Alfredo Angulo. I'd love to see that fight go down...
It going to take more than a tuneup or two to gauge where Kirkland is at, especially if the tuneups are bums.
