I don't think they are similiar at all. Kirkland has shown a shaky chin. Valero has been down, but he has never looked hurt in a fight. Valero has more skills now, but Kirkland is getting better. ne is a champion. and the other is an up and coming guy. When Valero goes out and bombs you, that is when he is vulnerable. When Valero boxes, he is as good as it gets. JMO. Others think differently, but who cares. Decent thread.
Edwin Valero = James Kirkland

Again from what I saw in Valero he did not look all that impressive at all. Just an awkward guy with a lot of power. Kirkland is faster & sharper, I don't see any similarity.Comment

imo fighters get better when the competition around them gets better - when you know the ladder that you're gonna climb is that little bit longer and that little bit higher you'll train harder.
anyone whos a contender in the welterweight division, SMW/LHW division knows tat they havetheir work cut out but in valero's and kirklands their are no real big fighters to get excited about. imo both need to be told that they need to improve by their trainers.

So your saying kirkland looks impressive?... He went down with Conyers and came back for the KO.. The same as Valero. I didnt hear anyone say Kirkland was impressive versus Cortes. No one on these forums and no one on ESPN. Everyone said he's an Exciting Fighter that needs work on defense. Just like Valero.Comment

valero has a title and has beat mosquera who is leagues above anyone kirklad has ever beat.....edwin has true 1 punch KO power, better chin.....and if youve seen him spar, he has pretty great technique, he just doesnt use it in figts cus he wants to KO dudes out of the ring....that being said, he fights like an idiot because of his KO power...Comment
