    I would say he has a bit more heads to knock out but he is a world class fighter not a boxer but a FIGHTER.

    No, he has good physical gifts, but he is just to flawed a fighter to be consistantly effective at the top level, if Wolfe could get him to defend like Tyson of Frazier than yeah he could be, but he is just to easy to hit.

    He has a lot going for him, but he has a questionable chin. He has the ability to win a championship. However that dose not mean he will hold it for long or even win one.

    Needs to focus on moving his head and his jab is lethal he needs to throw it more if he improves in those departments he can be world class right now he's to easy to hit and wild at times.

    He's easily in the top 10 @ 154, maybe top 5.

    Anyone who is one of the top fighters of his division is considered 'world class'.

    So yes, he is.

    Kirkland is very vulnerable which makes him exciting.

    No. If Angulo did not get so excited throwing all those wild punches when he dropped and hurt Kirkland, he could have got him out of there. A hurt fighter is a dangerous fighter. He made the mistake and paid for it.
