Do people still think that this one dimensional fighter (Miranda) could cause Kessler any problems given that Kessler is probably a bigger puncher than King Arthur and signifcantly more skilled than Miranda. Miranda is world class but not good enough to be a world champion and will always hover on the fringes IMO. He is famous for beating an old and shot Howard Eastman in which that fight was stopped to early. Miranda fans should calm down because the boy still needs to prove him self! Edison Miranda = Jeff Lacy without a belt!
No, I do think the trolls that thought that Kessler was running from Miranda have vaporized. However, it would have been prefered if Kessler had been the one that shut Miranda and his fans(Pantera and thePresident) up.
Exactly. Miranda has got one of the biggest mouths in boxing. He is like Mayorga only Mayorga actually is a good fighter. Kesslr would break miranda down in the same way Pavlik did, only without going to war.
It is not difficult to reach world class status you just have to be a top ten fighter in your weight division. Reaching the satus of champion is another matter and Miranda is no where near that level.
Kessler is probably my second favorite active fighter if I think about it, he would beat Miranda from pillar to post and back again and knock him the **** out. He is not a bigger puncher than Abraham no way no how.
The only way to know who is a bigger puncher is for them to fight the same opponent and compare performances like Pavlik:Miranda Vs Arthur:Miranda. For example, If King Arthur KOed SMW L.Andrade and Sartison in 5 rounds then I would conclude Arthur is a bigger punched than Kessler.
Kessler is like Pavlik an accumulation puncher. A far far better boxer than either Pavlik or Abraham. But Abraham can do this to guy's. [YT]XGQfadN_10Y[/YT] As good as Mikkel is I have never seen him stop anybody like that even D level comp. Also nobody is KOing Andrade. :good
So what! convincingly?? Green put Miranda down and could have won the fight if he had stayed to his boxing.
I think Kessler is a solid puncher, but definitely not a KO artist like some have claimed. I think his power is over-rated. One thing about Kessler that is not overrted, is his boxing ability. With that said, yes, I've always thought Kessler would beat Miranda.
