Respecting his skills as a fighter is one thing but how anyone can Stan for this dude is completely beyond me.

Dude stay letting a nikka down.
On some real shyt, I don't think he should fight at 160 unless it's a title fight with Cotto or GGG. I mean what the fukk does Rosado do for Kirkland?
It was a solid proposed match up, but if he has a chance to fight Canelo instead he might as well go for it.
I always think that with his style and the amount of fights he's had coupled with the crazy hard training that he does, his people don't want him to burn out over some regular ass fight.
They wanna cash him out against a guy that's worth it like Canelo. Rosado just got popping again after beating a guy James destroyed years ago. Before that happened, Gabe was getting a boxing lesson from one of them vanilla ass Charlo bros. It's not the end of the world if we don't see a Kirkland/Rosado fight.
Still wish this nikka was more active though.

Unfortunately, he keeps making terrible decisions that prevent him from advancing his career.
How else to explain his latest dopey decision -- passing on a career-high payday of $270,000 to fight Gabriel Rosado on Nov. 8 in the HBO co-feature of the Bernard Hopkins-Sergey Kovalev light heavyweight unification fight?
Kirkland’s camp (promoter Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and adviser/attorney Michael Miller with the blessing of trainer Ann Wolfe), made a deal with Rosado and promoter Golden Boy for the fight, even getting Rosado to agree to come down from the 160-pound middleweight division he had been fighting in to a catch weight of 157 pounds.
And it was a very winnable fight for Kirkland too, who accepted the terms.
And then he bailed.
“Here we go again,” Miller told ESPN.com on Tuesday.
Miller, like everyone else involved with Kirkland’s career, is as frustrated as can be. It’s not the first time Kirkland has taken a fight only to drop out on a whim.
In 2012, Kirkland accepted a fight with Canelo Alvarez after Alvarez’s opponent, Paul Williams, was paralyzed in a career-ending motorcycle crash. But then Kirkland quickly pulled out and was unable to get his story straight. First he said his injured shoulder was not healed enough to take the fight but then said he was unhappy with the purse offered to him but would fight with the bum shoulder if the purse was dramatically increased.
Miller said that Kirkland agreed to face Rosado for the money on Sept. 12. A few days later, Miller said, Kirkland called him and said he decided to pull out of the fight.
“He said he wouldn’t have enough time to train even though there he would be able to have an eight-week training camp,” Miller said. “I talked to [HBO executive] Peter Nelson and they said they were willing to commit to the same fight on a card in December instead, which would give James more time to train. And when I told him that then he said the money wasn’t enough.
“First it was not enough time and then it wasn’t enough money.”
Sound familiar?
“I think it was a very fair offer and a great opportunity,” Miller said. “I told James you have to beat fighters like Rosado if you’re going to be a world champion. It was a great opportunity and a very fair deal so I am frustrated and disappointed. James was going to make his biggest payday to fight on HBO against a guy who has lost three of his last four fights.”
He has no other fight on the on the table (contrary to popular belief, he is not a candidate to face Alvarez on Dec. 6), and allegedly hasn’t made a dime in 10 months, has mounting debt, child support issues and a promoter, adviser and trainer who are fed up with him.
