as much as i think froch is annoying at times, he would not duck this fight from miranda if it happened. after kessler lost to calzaghe, there were talks that miranda would be his opponent, and kessler made all these demands and got them and then turned the fight. avoided miranda like he owed him child support.
Fun fight to watch with either guy capable of ending the fight after one big flurry. I'd probably favor Miranda's quicker hands to find the mark before Froch's. BTW I'd also favor Bika over Froch.
Pre Pavlik, yes I see your point. But now we need to consider the post Goossen Miranda. He may be better then the pre Pavlik one. Jan 9th we will have some answers. If he blasts through Stieglitz he may indeed be back in the mix with the best.
I doubt Miranda would win this fight. The Pavlik fight just showed Miranda is not effective going backwards, he can't get any zip in his punches. Froch is strong enough and tough enough to force him back. This is one of the few fighters Froch would look good against.
I feel that would be a fairly easy victory for Froch. I doubt it would go past 4 rounds. Froch would blast him out quick
