He's talented yes, but I'm not sure...I just didn't get wrapped up in the hype of the guy especially after prison and him ditching his trainer. I saw those as bad for his career no mater what. Lots of people may hate on Kirkland now...I think he'll rebound, but I also think he'd better straighten up outside the ring too and that includes getting a new trainer that will pay special attention to him ie keep him out of trouble inside and outside the ring, because I've got the feeling that the kid ain't too fucking brilliant.


As for Maidana and Morales...Morales is a warriror and he's not going to lie down for an opponent, he's a great fighter, his best days are past him, but look at other greats that were past it and came back to beat or press fighters they had no business of beating or competing with...the sport is littered with past it fighters who over achieve.

Also notice people aren't talking too much crap about David Lemieux and how he got hammered...just saying
Fair points, but I think a lot of people liked Lemieux and were more high on him than Kirkland. I thought pretty highly of both guys, probably more so even of Kirkland and his all out Tyson type of style.
