    If you're unfamiliar with Kofi Jantuah and Miranda, you should watch some of their fights. Both had similarities to Mugabi and both lost to Abraham.

    I Am not sure who would win between Abraham and Mugabi. I do not necessarily agree that Jermain Taylor is way better than ANY top contenders. Including Mugabi. Mugabi certainly could have gotten to Taylor's chin as easily as Pavlik did.

    Do you agree that Mugabi's resume is slightly worse than that of Miranda or Jantuah?

    I think Mugabi was better than Miranda

    Miranda didn't hit as hard and had worse defense. He wasn't as explosive as Mugabi.

    From 4:45 here's Mugabi blowing away Curtis Parker. Parker was never kod before this, and only by Michael Nunn 5 yrs. later.

    Mugabi by decision. He was busier, quicker and a little more versatile.

    Reasonable enough, but I like Jantuah and Miranda's resumes more, especially Jantuah's.

    Abraham stops him around the 7th or 8th in an exciting fight.

    PURE FIREWORKS .

    Abraham's iron chin was inhuman as a MW . I would give him that .

    I thought his punching power was very overrated BTW .

    Mugabi is slightly overrated himself at times .

    But Mugabi wins this on points in a THRILLER .

    John Mugabi would not fall as quickly as Miranda did . That's for sure .

    BTW Abraham is 1/1 with Miranda .

    No one has forgotten what took place in the first fight . I know I haven't .

    Is it just me or is everyone who thinks Mugabi wasn't a bum is also a huge Hagler fan?

    No one really, but he was out boxing Hagler in the early rounds. At their best, I think AA takes a decision, but it could be a close one.

    Mugabi wins by KO early or get stopped in the 10th.
    A JMW though with a mesomorphic physique to balloon between bouts creating weight issues.
    Underated boxing skills but a head basket case when the going got tough and his own worst enemy.
