I think Spence has the speed and skill over Kirkland but Kirkland would have a good punchers chance. Id be rooting for Kirkland, always put on good fights!

Spence would get Kirkland outta there within 5, James’ chin was bad on some nights and I think this would’ve been one of those nights!
If not then Spence decisions him and controls him with the jab and works the body, Kirkland’s defense is super bad!
Now to think about it, if Anne Wolfe is in his corner it could be interesting if the fight goes late and Kirkland starts getting his engine going!
That man was nonstop in his prime, shame more less exciting fighters became champs and he didn’t!

Originally posted by Koba-Grozny View Post'Prime' Kirkland's only asset was the ability to bull forward and throw punches non stop. His only real win of even modest significance (and I ain't counting Molina) was El Perro who at his best was only marginally more refined and it really only came down to chance whose chin cracked first. Not even convinced he was that big a puncher TBH though he did score plenty of impressive KOs against club fighters.

Even Toney, Holyfield, Bowe...
These guys weren't too defensively sound at all times even though one from the other had great defense.
It's a think that Floyd seriously preached throughout his career. Even Canelo vs GGG 1, Canelo preferred to move like Leonard vs Hagler. In the second fight Canelo had to take risks because that was the narrative that ESPN Spanish had layed on him. Canelo could simply not fought as he did in the first fight, and most likely the judges would've have agreed as well.

Honestly a desperately poor thread even by the standards of the forum's latest spam artist.

But still, does the Kirkland that beat Brian Vera beat Spence at 154?
