    Some people really OVERRATE the impact of a trainer.

    Kirkland is too limited to save.

    Agree. There was a lot of hype surrounding this guy at one point. Despite being exposed, he can still make for a lot of entertaining fights. I'd really like to see him in there with Saul, Trout, or even a guy like Ortiz.

    He's not going to be a lineal champion, ever, probably. But he can still make for entertaining fights with the right opposition. He's like the JMW version of Rios.

    Angulo looked like a feather-fisted girl in his recent tune up fight with a ****ing WW. He was also being outboxed. Hypejob Angulo is nothing more than hype.

    That's an insult to Rios.

    Rios is a MUCH MUCH better fighter than Kirkland.

    He actually isn't, only thing Rios has significantly bettter than James is a good chin.

    Better chin, better technique, better accuracy, better arsenal, better power, better stamina, better every goddamn thing!

    And even though Rios is pretty easy to hit, his defense is Wilfred Benitez good compared to Kirkland.
