    I think so and he is already one of the best JMs in the world. Great fight would be him and Mayorga.. Who do you think wins this? I think ill take the younger man here but this would be a dangerous fight for him. But i think Maybe Kirkland should stay away from slick boxers a guy like Cory Spinks would probably out box him,but you never know Kirkland is a rugged pitbull.

    I thought that'd be conventional opinion...but I don't care. She's extraordinarily beautiful under any circumstance. But I'll change it for you.

    Kirkland SHOULD beat Mayorga, but it is exactly the kind of fight where the young guy goes through hell to learn the lesson that he needs to. If Kirkland is going to become something, he gets past Mayorga. If not, the gatekeeper holds him back.

    To be honest Zarman, i respect his ability, and skillset.... he has been in many good fights, but i dont know, ive never been much of a fan. Again, it has nothing to do with his ability, i find him a great fighter..... but i dont know, ive just never really been a fan. Im weird like that.... lol.

    Im not saying i dont like watching him fight eather, i wouldnt miss a fight of JMM's... believe me, its just for whatever reason ive never really become a fan of his. Nothing but respect though... :good

    i have to go with Hopkins. sure many hate his style, but in 50+ fights against solid (and some great) competition, when is the last time you saw him even hurt in a fight? even against big punchers or volume punchers? it's not as easy as he makes it looks. after him probably floyd, cotto, pac, and if dirrel stops running, he's got the talent

    Kirkland. Mayorga I don't think can get into a dogfight with a young ferocious animal like Kirkland anymore, imo. I don't know about Kirkland avoiding slicksters. I honestly thought Joel Julio was going to outclass him and instead I found out just how capable Kirkland is of getting to you and punishing you. Not that I would call Julio a slickster but he's a good boxer and I had doubted Kirkland's ability to deal with someone on that level and force a war of attrition when a good and tough fighter wants to box. I think Julio was as surprised as I was.

    I saw Kirkland on HBOs ring life and he was saying that he made Julio make sounds like a woman:lol: He said is this dude serious?
    Kind of reminded me when Tyson made that similar remark about Biggs:lol:
