Is James Kirkland the dumbest boxer ever?

[p4pking]

Maybe he doesn't want those fights because he doesn't think he'd win? He's obviously a really athletic, powerful guy, but he can't box and doesn't have a chin, no matter how cold or ill prepared you want to believe he was for the following




Alvarez would kill him, that would be cashing out for Kirkland. Not that he maybe wouldn't be wise to do it anyways, I dunno.

Well he's not making money NOT fighting so why not fight Canelo? Why not fight anyone else out there? Sure Kirkland got shocked by Ishida but he came back and just smacked the crap out of Angulo and Tapia and basically everyone since Ishida. Kirkland has that shock & awe of speed and power where he can on any given night just demolish an opponent no matter who it is.

He could make a lot more money than what he's making doing nothing...and getting in trouble as well.

Still maybe the biggest WTF moments in boxing, moreso than Morrison/Bentt probably.

First round KO'd by a unheralded Japanese guy who can't punch... yikes.
