He is 30 years old, has very good talent, but he has made some fucking boneheaded decisions in his career. There was the gun incident where he wound up back in jail, there was the split with his trainer, but the worse has been his recent bailing on winnable fights on big cards.

Kirkland-Rosado was supposed to happen on the Hopkins-Kovalev undercard. Kirkland was set for a career high payday and he fucking bailed.

Kirkland had a chance to fight Canelo Alvarez when Paul Williams was paralyzed in his motorcycle crash. And had he won that fight he could have legitimately been staring down a GIGANTIC payday vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. but he fucking bailed out on that too!

James Kirkland hasn't fought in a year and passing on the Rosado fight and payday isn't going to win him any fans at all.

30 years old...time is ticking on him
