James Kirkland may fight Kanat Islam next, talks Cotto and Curtis Stevens

Not really. He is'nt a big dude. His problem with 154 is and always will be his lack of dedication outside of the ring when he is'nt fighting. He is one of my favorite fighters, but dude just lets himself go when he is'nt active. After the Kanat Islam fight if he wins, I know he's going to try to get the Cotto fight again. If he can't get the Cotto fight he should move up to 160 and fight a soft touch first to break him in to 160, then a Kirkland-Stevens fight makes sense. But yes, the guy has to keep himself busy. Seems like the pilot light went out in James Kirkland.

https://youtu.be/qKHVsQzBYG0 James Kirkland gives update, says he is in talks to fight Kanat Islam September 9th in Kazakhstan. Talks about Cotto fall out and possibly fighting Cotto next and calls out Curtis Stevens for talking sh*t about him and challenges Stevens to fight him. i thought that fight was a done deal for it to be in kazakhstan already?

Exactly, Kirkland has been at 154 for way too long. Not really. He is'nt a big dude. His problem with 154 is and always will be his lack of dedication outside of the ring when he is'nt fighting. He is one of my favorite fighters, but dude just lets himself go when he is'nt active.

I'll watch Kirkland Vs. Anyone... Dude is a warrior win or lose.

Dude's fought twice in the last 5 years and is 33 now. Reportedly he had to near kill himself to make the cut for Canelo 2 years ago and that sh1t doesn't get easier as you get older. Exactly, Kirkland has been at 154 for way too long.

Kirkland fighting islam....dont let khan hear about this....he might get all ramadan on his azz

Kirkland Vs Stevens is bad for Kirkland. He just needs to finish his career at 154. Dude's fought twice in the last 5 years and is 33 now. Reportedly he had to near kill himself to make the cut for Canelo 2 years ago and that sh1t doesn't get easier as you get older.

Kirkland vs stevens. Make it happen 2 guys with no defense makes for a good fight. Yeah, Kirkland vs Stevens makes all the sense in the world to make. Kirkland has to get busy though, he's been out a long, long time. But it sounds like he's got some fights lined up, so it sounds good.

I thought a possible fight between Kirkland and Cotto was dead in the water after the fallout. But according to Kirkland Cotto told him and his team that they are still options for the future. Sounds like Kirkland and Curtis Stevens have some beef. I can definitely see that fight taking place at 160. That fight would make sense. Looks like he's got Kanat Islam coming up in September. It's good to hear he is with Ann Wolfe still.

I'll still root for the guy, lol. Hopefully he beats Kanat and fights Cotto/Lara.
