Biggest Career Disappointment Kirkland/Guzman/Gamboa/Dirrell?

[Fearless Angel]

I'm gonna say Dirrell.

Gamboa is a very explosive fighter and has good skills. Sometimes he looks really good but sometimes he looks ordinary. He's very inconsistent with his performances.

Guzman is just lazy and lacks discipline. He had great talent but you can say that about a lot fighters. He just didn't give a **** about training, like an elite fighter should.

Kirkland is an exciting brawler and a strong puncher, but doesn't have the skills to be the best or one of the best.

I think Dirrell has it all. Great skills, speed, timing, footwork and power. I think he can be the best supermiddleweight in the world, but he lacks the mental strength and passion to be the best. I think he's just happy that his buddy Andre Ward is the best at 168. Also I thought that Dirrell clearly beat Froch.

Guzman. He should be an all timer, he had the stuff.
Complete waste of a career and im not a fan because of this.

Gmboa is an Olympic gold medalist, one of the best amateur's of all time and then you look at his skills, speed and power...he is a tremendous fighter who's prime years were wasted by a promotional problem. He blasted through his proper division and then boom, Bob Arum and Oner dereailed it - saying that, he still cleaned out his division and unified titles.

The others were responsible for their own downfalls; Guzman was and remains flat out lazy and lacks dedication. Kirkland...well, he just isn't good. Dirrell, like Gamboa, is a tremendous athlete but sadly he is mentally weak.

Gamboa and Dirrell share the most disappointment for me. I'm still surprised both careers stalled. Both are impressive fighters who have the ability to be the best in their division. Kirkland is a favorite of mine. What he lacks in skills he makes up in work rate, strength, and determination. He put on a gutsy performance against Angulo. May have damaged Angulo for good. His fight against Molina was just an ugly mess. Naturally he got most of the blame and was labeled a bum, but I think Molina fought a dirty dirty fight. Probably was on the verge of stopping Molina when the ref interfered. And then there is Guzman.

Kirkland and Dirrell are bums

Gamboa is still fighting at a high level not sure how he you can label his career anything yet.

Guzman is the only disappointment. He has true A level talent but has never gotten/wanted the fights to make it mean something

dirrell and gamboa can still turn it around....

but guzman = a complete waste of talent, so skilled.... should have accomplished a lot more.

kirkland's a bum.

How is he a bum if he beat Angulo who was the baddest Mexican at 154 at the time and everybody cried wolf about Kirklands chin, nobody but me and a handful of other people even gave him a chance. 98% of this forum counted him out and he still goes into angulos back yard and stops him.

I don't think much into the Ishida loss because Anne Wolfe wasn't in his corner and his trainer for that fight was trying to turn him into a boxer.

He's second behind Gamboa who is the most athletically frightening athlete since Roy Jones and 50 screwed him.
