    Kirkland is the CHINNIEST prospect in boxing

    Holt is no longer a prospect, Berto is no longer a prospect, you can probably make a case for Gamboa.

    I've been looking discussions about Kirkland vs Angulo, Kirkland vs Maritosyan, but I think he ends up knocked out by both guys. Guys tries to take you out early like Mike Tyson, but he does not have Tyson's chin or defense. Even in his last fight, everytime he got hit he was stunned. Who knows if he didn't illegally hit the guy on the way down, the fight could've gone another round and we could've seen Kirkland hit the canvas like he has before.

    I am not hating on the guy he's more exciting than either Angulo or Kirkland, but I will put an even bet on either Vanes or Angulo that they take him out.

    Worse than Khan?

    Nah, I havn't seen a lot of him tbh. I know his defense is pretty bad, but I have not seen him hurt so far. How many times has he been badly hurt, or dropped? Anyone?

      It was the perfect setup!

          Thing is we always knew Khan had shaky whiskers, but yeah my bad for omitting him.

            Im going to have to disagree. I've seen him take some big shots that don't phase him. The only thing you can really point to is when he was knocked down by Canyes in the first round, but if you look at it closely he was caught with a nice shot and was a bit off balance himself from lunging forward. He got up at the count of 1 and he wasn't hurt or wobbly from it. He proceeded to murder the other guy in the following seconds. I think he just got caught with a nice shot.

            I agree that his defense is weak and that he's open for getting nailed with lots of shots, but that doesn't make him chinny....just makes him open to get hit.

                I think Margarito, Clottey, Mosley all whip him to a stoppage.

                I think Angulo's overrated. He's a good fighter, but he is not the monster that people make him out to be and it will be evident very soon me thinks.

                    I think due to the fact that Kirkland has overwhelmed a lot of his opponents in the first couple of rounds his chin hasn't been really put to a serious test. Once he slows down in the third and fourth round watch out. Cause he's gonna be even easier to hit.
