What happened to James Kirkland?

A lot of people felt he was done before the Alvarez fight, which I just saw is almost 3 years ago. He already was quite inactive before that.
And current 154 is top heavy, with Hurd, Lara and Charlo e, who all 3 seem like poison for him.

 

His chin said no more and moved interstate

 

He was originally offered the fight with Joshua Clottey on Hbo, but refused it because he wanted more money$$$. Rosado ended up taking the fight. I bet he wasnt really injured to fight Cotto he just wanted more $$. Kirkland has always been difficult for promoters to deal with such as Gary Shaw AND GBP.

 

He's done, wasn't/won't be competitive in 154

 

Last I heard he linked back up with Wolfe (for what seems like the dozenth time in their on again/off again deal). But hasn't fought since that happened and not a peep about him. He's 34. Crazy to think he's only fought once in the last nearly four and a half years.

 

I liked Kirkland a lot. He was a beast with Wolfe in his corner. She prepared him for war. She was tough af. Kirkland just got tired of the grind. He paid for it against Canelo which is the most he ever needed her.

He played the game and got paid well. He should retire. Hopefully he invested that money properly.
Idk much about him outside the ring.

 

Anne Wolfe exhausted him, all of his resources are depleted

 

Pissed it up the wall like the fool he apparently is. Exciting fighter in his time, though.

 

he and gamboa signed with 50 cent and lost there prime

 

Think there's some truth to that. 50 cent was a flyby merchant.

 

He was over rated to begin with.

 

james was always in trouble with the law , all types of distractions. and his chin wasnt all that great. ann wolfe over worked him. your prime isnt gonna last long if u train like that. and thats why his career didnt last long. then wen he picked a new trainer ishida nailed him hard and it was all down hill from there for the most part. canelo sealed the deal his all set.
