    I was a big fan of Miranda he got screwed vs Abraham

    The Pavlik fight seemed to take a lot out of him

    To me Miranda always had a great right hand but little else

    Like Stevens being all left hook

    GGG took the hook away and would most likely take the right from the equation

    GGG easily by KO. Miranda was nothing special imo. Seemed like he got hyped because of his appearance and the fact that he had a big punch.

    Miranda would have tested G no doubt, but G breaks him down and gets a ko/tko.
    G vs pavlik would have been epic.

    Who would win GGG vs Kovalev?

    Edison had a good chin back in his day , the weight problems , the loss of hunger/motivation pretty much mentally ruined him IMO .

    I used to say it all the time he would have destroyed Jermain Taylor if they ever fought , I believe Jermain was slightly intimidated by Miranda , Miranda was always in his head .

    Golovkin vs Miranda ??

    50/50 fight .

    They just arrested him for involvement by drug trafficking I read somewhere.

    No version of Miranda would have had more as a puncher's chance against Golovkin.

    2005 version of Miranda would be a huge risk for GGG .

    That Miranda beats everyone GGG has beaten so far...

    GGG would crush Miranda. Miranda is too crude for GGG.

    The prime Miranda who beat who exactly? Every single time Edison stepped up he lost, often badly. Golovkin stops him relatively early. If AA beats Miranda Golovkin beats Miranda except likely quicker.

    Fun while it lasts but it only ends one way.

    Pavlik already exposed Miranda's weakness (which Abraham previously hinted at) - he can't fight backing up. Take away his forward momentum and the panther is declawed.

    Golovkin - a much smarter cookie and more dedicated student of the game than Pavlik - would figure that out in no time, even if facing a clean-slate unbeaten Miranda without any 'homework' for prep. As soon as he does that, game over.

    Is the correct answer.

    Pavlik vs GGG on the other hand is a fight i'd sell my house to see.

    Pre BHop Pavlik had boxing skills, a good beard, and power in both hands, he was also absolutely huge at the weight.
