Before he went to jail, James Kirkland was on his way to becoming the best 154 pounder in the sport.
He is the Edwin Valero, the mandingo version of the 154 lb division.
A beastly offensive southpaw trained by a offensive beast (no offense) in ann wolfe, kirkland if he has his head straight, at least for a couple of matches, can re light the torch that was snuffed/strangled (allegedly) by edwin valero.
Both have the power, the aggression, the devotion, the sensation....
& most important, the "IT" factor.
Lets just hope James Kirkland goes the other way of Valero & fulfills somewhat the void left by savagely exciting, talented, & promising career of edwin valero.
With Manny Pacquiao, Joe Calzaghe, Antonio Tarver, Winky Wright, Naseem Hamed, Paul Williams, Edwin Valero, Lucian Bute & hopefully james kirkland, this time period is somewhat of a gold mine of talented southpaw fighters.
