What Americans? Angulo, Williams? It seems like Shaw signed Dzinziruk specifically to ensure that Angulo could keep his WBO interm belt without having to face Dzinziruk, Shaw certianly hasn't done **** for Sergei up to this point. Sergei would be a favourite vs Angulo (for any non bias HBO hype buying person) and Williams would probably be a favourite but it would be a relative 50/50 fight.
Dzin is way too sharp for kirkland. James would eat a jab all night and run into counters. You're not smart enough in regards to boxing to see it though, and you joined after they stopped requiring a quiz before joining ESB. Now all the monkeys are feeding the zookeepers.
How in the hell is Kirkland better? Dont let entertainment fool you from actual SKILL, and QUALITY. Kirkland is a crude, no defense or brain having slugger who would get picked apart by a sharp shooter like Dzin.
His power is overrated as hell. He doesnt hit as hard as Daniel Santos, and Dzin took Santos power fine. And yes, not too many on the general forum actually know boxing.
I'm going to throw out a comparison here that just popped into my head: Marco Huck and James Kirkland (difference in activity level notwithstanding)
