    People who compare Andrade to Miranda make me laugh. These guys couldnt be more different.

    Kessler wont take this fight because he has never faced a puncher like Miranda. His chin is slightly a question and we all know Pantera will put it to the test. When he grows bigger balls, maybe the fight will happen.

    No offense but who has Miranda knocked out at 168lbs to prove his awesome power?

    I can answer that question for you.

    No one.

    I agree except when you indicate that Kessler would shy away from a fight. That's not part of his psyche I believe. If it was he would never have gone to Wales in the first place. Fighting a hard punching guy like Miranda is always risky, but on the positive side, there is credit to be gained IMO. So, for me, I would really like to see them fight! I imagine loads of unleashed power punches!:lol:

    Give me a break.. First thing: they are very similar, although Andrade puts more pressure, Miranda hits harder.

    Everything seems like that fight will actually happen, and how is his chin a question? 40 fights, never been seriously hurt, knocked down or anything, has faced 7 seven fighters who were top 10 at the time he fought them and 4 who was top 5. Librado Andrade and Manny Siaca can punch bigtime.

    Calzaghe caught Kessler a few times - Kessler took it without problems. Miranda simply don't have the skills to catch Kessler. Once Kessler does a "Andrade" on Miranda we'll all be hearing how overhyped Miranda was... (just for the record I will be agreeing)

    Kessler/Teampalle is in negotiations with HBO about this fight - once they agree on the money we'll see the fight - if Miranda has the balls to show up...

    As for Miranda's power ... if we look at the fights where he has actually faced an opponent of some quality his KO-rate is 4 KO out of 9 fights... three of those being against chinachins (Davis, Gibbs and Porras)... not that impressive at all.

    Mogens Palle was just on TV saying that they are discussing a date for a fight with Miranda, on HBO. Palle and Kessler wants the fight in June.

    Kessler has also been offered a fight in England, so nothing is final yet.
