I think he'd beat Kirkland, but everyone else, probably not. He hits hard and is fast, and his head is exceptionallly narrow must be like trying to tag a speed ball whilst somebody moves it around.
What is it with this place today? It seems like every third post or so has me lamo.....
See the difference between Lacy and Kirkland is that Kirkland is a pressure fighter who keeps the distance between himself and his opponents closer than they want. His foot speed is superior to Lacy's, he closes the gap faster so he isn't open as much to getting caught with the big one at a distance.
I'd like to see Kirkland fight anyone, Yuri Foreman, Forrest-Martinez winner, Harry Joe Yorgey, whoever.
Lacy freezes when he gets hit..Kirkland fires right back.

To say he simply freezes is an oversimplification. Lacy is not nearly as fast as Kirkland so his reactions aren't on Kirkland's level, plus Lacy gets caught a lot at a distance. Kirkland gets caught when he's in punching range, Lacy not as often.
Yeah, you're right. Martinez and Williams would give him hell but I think Kirklands style could give them trouble, especially Martinez. Kirkland is still very young so I expect him to polish up his footwork and his D. The kid is the real deal and in a few years I think hes going to be a borderline face of boxing. I think hes going to have a better career than Left Hook for sure.
I am definetely excited about him.
Everyone loves a KO artist.
The Narrow Face of Boxing: James Kirkland.
I want him to fight our own Jamie Moore, he'd probably put him on a stretcher but Moore would throw down. Would be a wild couple of rounds.

True
Brian Vera was catching him way too much on the inside.
