cotto v kirland

[Ron Swanson]

TBH, I didn't read where Hulk claimed Kirkland is "good"..... only "dangerous early." Nothing wrong with that.

Again, dangerous how? We are talking about a championship level opponent. He has never beat one so how is he dangerous to one?

By virtue of being a big puncher. Puncher's chance and all that. He crashed and burned against Canelo, but he threw as well as received during those first rounds. Being dangerous isn't the same as being good. It's like in baseball. You can be a lousy hitter with homerun power. You might strike out 7 times out of 10, but on one of those 10 you might connect and hit a 500-foot homer.

Except he has never landed that one at championship level. 16 years and he has never. And this will be his 2nd fight in 4 years, that won't be improving his already limited skills.

You and I both know Kirkland is brought in to look the part and lose.
