Is James Kirkland a good tune-up before GGG?

A better title would have been "Is James Kirkland a good tune-up before suicide".

Wow your dislike for Kirkland is evident..... If you've seen his fight with Brian Vera you would know he has plenty skills and is a level above an Andy Lee.... If he doesn't just try to KO Canelo I Can see him doing damage.... Also Canelo will fight GGG when he's ready.... Really what's the point of Boxing if guys like Canelo are being called for ducking.... Canelo should win though

Brian Vera also made Julio Cesar Chavez Jrs fat ass look like the second coming of Sugar Ray Leonard. I wouldn't put much stock into that fight.

Nope. James Kirkland is an aggressive pressuring brawler. GGG is an aggressive counter punching pressure fighter. It's a difference that people don't actually appreciate about GGG. He counters AS HE PRESSURES YOU.

I never heard the term aggressive counter puncher until GGG. I'm sure you've seen this video but it's a good watch.

Canelo is going to fight Cotto next. Then Lemiux.

Then an ultra unification with GGG in September 2016.

Kirkland is no ones tune up.

This is going to be a hard, hard fight for Nelo. There is nothing more dangerous than a motivated Kirkland.

actually Kirkland is more dangerous, Golovkin is an easy fight for Canelo....
