Your thoughts on James Kirkland?
how much should be credited to Ann Wolf?
can he/will he be a force in the 154 class?
I like Kirkland. He's going to be a handful for anyone that get's into the ring with him. However, I think he seriously needs to work on his defensive skills, because he is not always going to be able to run over his opponents.
I think that Ann has been good for him in some ways. I think she has definitely brought some stability to his life. He had a troubled life, and I think she has helped him like a big sister, and has given him a different perspective on life. I also think she is great when it comes to keeping him in great condition, but I think, like I have already stated, she needs to start focusing on shoring up his defense, and fine tuning his all around boxing skills. If they can do that, he is really going to make some noise IMO.
I like Kirkland. But I think Angulo would smash him
heavy puncher that just looks a tad bit off guard at 154.
I see a big future for him at middle and super middle though, very jermain taylor esque!!!
My jury is still out on the guy. He is a big puncher with good offensive skills but I really have not seen much else out of him. His opponents so far have been hand picked with the exception of Eromosele Albert. I question his chin durability.
I would like to see him against maybe Sechew Powell or Joel Julio before making my decision. I have to agree with Violent Demise that Alfredo Angulo would beat him. Anyone of the current title holders would make sport of him, Vernon Forrest would massacre him inside of 5.
How much credit should Ann Wolf get? None really. I can not credit someone for building a half complete fighter. There are hundreds of trainers out there who can teach a sound offense, defense is just as if not more important.
