Mouthy Miranda: Former middleweight contender Edison Miranda made headlines with his mouth prior to being knocked out by Kelly Pavlik in May in Memphis. He’s since moved up to the super middleweight level and after earning two knockout wins, he’s back to boasting, saying the only reason he lost to Pavlik was because he was weakened by weight loss. “After knocking out two guys at super middleweight with decent records, I feel more comfortable telling the world that Pavlik faced half of Edison Miranda due to my health issue that night,” Miranda said in an interview with doghouseboxing.com. “When I fight him again at 168 [pounds], he will see the whole Edison Miranda and it will be a different outcome. ... Next time it will be him moving backwards and getting KO’d, I promise.” This content is protected “He’s trying to tick off some big name so they’ll fight him and he can make big money,” said Pavlik. Loew said he had no problem with the strategy. “I have nothing bad to say about Miranda. Why wouldn’t he call Kelly’s name out? Miranda’s not going to make $3-4 million against anyone else.” Miranda, who predicted he’d also beat Taylor in a super middleweight bout, weighed in on Pavlik-Taylor II. “I think Taylor actually has a good chance to win, but I’m afraid that he will fight scared. If he does this, then Pavlik will win for sure.”
I dont think they are hating, I just think you're lack of boxing knowledge is showing... it's showing on you Vcash and obvious lost avatar bet :rofl
Get Joe's **** out of your mouth, and maybe you can see the truth. Calzaghe went after BHop BEFORE the Pavlik/taylor rematch was made. Slappy Joe wants nothing to do with elite fighters in thier prime, and PLEASE don't try to tell me the Robo-Dane is an elite fighter.
So there is no way Calzaghe would beat Pavlik??? Some people on here are getting more stupid by the day.
Not a chance this year. He already said he wants to fight at 160 in 08 and Arum is already working on his 1st title defense against Duddy in June.
here's a nice little fact for you. taylor had the rematch clause in the contract from the first fight but had yet to decide whether he would activate that clause. pavlik was in no position to be going after other fights with taylor's position undecided at that point. oh, and that robo dane is more elite than pavlik could ever dream of being. thanks for playing.
