James Kirkland: "I just tear a piece of their soul...the old Kirkland is back"

I think any talented boxer with fast, precise hands and a good chin can beat kirkland. Don't get me wrong he's not invincible (no one is). Every style of fighting has their kryptonite and kirkland is no exception.
Lara is the guy I would worry most about if I were kirkland. But I'd LOVE to see Kirkland vs Cotto & Canelo, very even matches imo.
Kirkland fits right into a potentially really exciting division. I'd pay good money to see all of these guys fight.Last edited by savorduhflavor; 01-18-2012, 03:47 PM.Comment

What actually happened was you said Angulo was a massive puncher. Generally, massive puncher connotates a one punch concussive puncher.
I said Angulo was a heavy handed puncher but wasn't a massive puncher(meaning he's not a one punch guy). I think it's pretty proven that he's a high workrate guy with heavy hands that wears his opponents down, kind of like Margarito(though I think he's a bigger puncher than Tony).
I think Canelo, Kirkland, Cotto, definitely Martinez if he came down, are all around the same range in the power department. Martinez has one punch pop but none of the rest really do.
Kirkland and Angulo are heavy handed pressure fighters. Cotto and Canelo are heavy handed and quick with their accurate combinations....but all similar in the end IMO.Comment

If Angulo beat Kirkland I guarantee we would be seeing Canelo vs Angulo.
Golden Boy is clearly steering Kirkland clear of Canelo, that's why he's getting these tough fights Molina and probably Lara after that, while Canelo gets Alfonzo Gomez and Cintron, smhComment

Now you're putting words into my mouth.

"I didn't say Angulo wasn't a big puncher I said he wasn't a massive KO puncher like you were alluding to"
i never said massive "ko" puncher. i just said massive puncher............
i corrected you..........you should have said angulo didn't have massive one punch power. rather then stating anything to do with "ko" because angulo is beastly as far as ko percentages go.
canelo doesn't have more power then angulo....maybe cotto has (but only slightly) cotto also gets tired quicker then angulo. & martinez doesn't fight @ 154

i said that angulo is a massive puncher referring to how strong he is.........you brought up ko percentages
