I am very late with this.......but RIP Kirkland and I sincerely hope life is happier on the other side for you.

A bit disappointed by the lack of love for KL who fought from 1975 through to 1994

Maybe it is time to say something more about a remarkable but ultimately flawed talent.

I was too young for his seminal-seisimic win over Duran or his wars with the excellent Colin Jones.

But I did see him box the ears off the fancied and much younger George Collins and tame Trevor Smith and these fights were prime examples of a guy who had talent to burn.

There is a long thread on the British and Irish forum.
