    Who should be James Kirkland comeback fight? Kirkland should be returning to the ring after September. Who should he fight? A couple of good fight for him would be Martirosyan, Angulo 2, maybe even Gabe Rosado.

    Martirosyan and Rosado box Kirkland's pants off. I guess the Angulo rematch makes sense, as no other contenders have much reason to fight him. I doubt Kirkland beats a top 20-ish fighter again.

    Kirkland has no business in a boxing ring ever again in his life, he disrespected himself as a fighter by letting Oscar talk him into being a sacrificial lamb for Canelo. He was totally unprepared and he sold out for a few dollars. I have lost all respect for his weak ass.

    He should take a tune up against a soft bum like Geales.

    Yeah, he's a warrior but he's damaged goods and he could get himself seriously hurt. He is chemically dependent and not in control of himself or his affairs. He is being manipulated because of that and I don't wanna see that happen. He was once one of my favorite fighter because of the warrior spirit he possessed but just because he goes in and fights hard doesn't mean that he should be in there. He comes in totally unprepared and that is a recipe for disaster.

    No doubt... I respect that.
    But Kirkland needs that figure in his life. Wolfe represents a lot more than just a trainer. He needs boxing to keep him straight.

    Naw, I won't shut up. You know why, because I respect the game of boxing and while there are fighters that I don't like for one reason or another, I respect what they do because it is a dangerous game and when a fighter comes in totally unprepared then I got a problem with that.
