Kessler wont fight Miranda

Not suprise at all. Kesller has already established his name as a real fighter despite his loss and Miranda is still struglling to make it after his loss . . . maybe kesller feels he doesn't want to be a stepping stone for another struglling fighter.

Fighters makes career plans too, it's not just money.

 

Who the **** is Miranda to be making demands at 168?

 

Kessler better have something lined up or it's gonna look bad if he fights a lesser opponent next. He should have taken the Miranda fight, it looks like he's not living up to his name "The Viking Warrior".

 

Surely? Why surely? Why doesn't he call Bute out, if Bute cannot handle anyone decent? Why not make Bute look really bad? If Bute said NO and Pascal says YES - GYM would pay Miranda even more and there's be more takers to see Pascal fight the man Bute was afraid to touch! Thinks about it for a second!

No one can come up with a good answer to the question: Why didn't Miranda call out Bute...

If Miranda could really beat Bute, he would beat him and the would fight an optional defence in Montreal against Pascal and clean up! But no...Bute is not tough enough an opponent for Miranda...only Kessler is god enough for him after Banks!:yep

 

The same as Kessler now, a contender. I respect Miranda for trying to make good fights.

 

The conqueror of David Banks, of course!:deal

 

If Miranda gets into the ring with Kessler this year or if he even calls out Bute, I will wear an avatar of Miranda for 2 weeks! :deal

 

If Kessler doesn't want it, it's almost a guarantee Miranda will call out Bute. Do you think Bute will give him a shot?

 

Saying Miranda would beat Bute is like saying Banks would beat Calzaghe...

 

If he doesn't, Miranda will look like the man at 168 and Kessler and Bute will look foolish and cowardly. Miranda would brag about that for years! Miranda is in the Top 10 and is a good fight for both. At least one of them should call his bluff; I hope he calls out Bute too!:yep

 

If Kessler doesnt want Miranda I wonder who he is looking for?

 

I don't think Miranda is bluffing, he just wants to fight the best.

 

Miranda should fight some stiffer comp at super middle before calling out Kessler.

 

In that case, why did he gun for Pascal? Was Pascal one of the best?

I get a feeling Miranda likes to brag and put down fighters better than him in a bid to promote himself and make people take him seriously, a bit like Froch!:yep

As I say, much respect to him if he is indeed willing to get into the ring with Kessler! Too early to say whether this is not just a marketing ploy. It does smell a bit fishy, but I don't want to be mean/unfair. I'll give him the benefit opf the doubt! Won't forgive him for the way he spoke about Kessler though - he makes himself look like a pathetic joke for using those words about Kessler!
