James Kirkland or Alfredo Angulo. Who is the better fighter?

[WLAD_OWNS]

WTF is the point of stating he's black? Why not just say he's an overrated fighter and leave it at that?

Anyways, we will learn a lot about Kirkland is his fight next month against Joel Julio, who is the biggest test and best fighter either has faced. It's too bad Mayorga pulled out, I was very curious to see how Angulo would do against a vet

I'm not trying to be racist. People like to overhype hard hitting black fighters (Lacy, Miranda, Peter, Haye....and now Kirkland). Lacy was supposed to be the super middleweight version of Tyson....Miranda was supposed to be the middleweight version of Tyson...Peter was supposed to be the next heavyweight king.....and now Kirkland is being compared to Tyson LOL. He even said "I'm better than Mike Tyson" LOL

I'm gonna laugh my ass off when this hypejob gets exposed.

I think it might be a little too soon to tell.

The guy is gonna get exposed soon...Mark my words

Intention is irrelevant.

Yea, like people don't overhype hard hitting white fighters. Pavlik anyone?

BTW, who has compared Kirkland to Tyson other than himself? I really have to wonder about the other Tyson comparisons as well.

Or just hard hitting fighters period.

Julio
Arreola
Valero
Oganov
Ponce De Leon
Juarez

Come on now....

true there are alot of overhyped hard hiters no matter race

[-Antonio-]

I don't know who's better between these two, but the attention they get confuses me. Why are Angulo's fights in HBO when he's not been fighting anyone? He's clearly not an exceptional talent, though I enjoy his style. I think he's a poor man's Tomasz Adamek.

What they are doing with Arreola is a bigger mystery. That guy is horrible.

[venerablefist]

I think Kirkland is better based on hand speed and foot speed Angulo is very slow in comparison sometimes having a better chin doesn't always win fights I think if Kirkland desires to box he has the option while Angulo just have one option move forward with his heavy hands and lack of foot speed

[Scott9945]

Right now I'd say Angulo but if Kirkland beats Julio, that's be better than anyone Angulo has beaten and would give the edge to Kirkland.

Totally co-sign on that.

[Dynamite Kid]

It might sound a bit cruel, but Kirkland looks like the new Southpaw Jeff Lacy to me.

I take it back, Jeff Lacy was actually decent to good, Kirkland isn't.

I take it back, Jeff Lacy was actually decent to good, Kirkland isn't.

2 years in prison with no boxing. You don't take a shot to the chin and no sparring for 2 years is a major setback.
