    I was surprised to see your pick for this fight with the knowledge of Chins you have.

    I have always thought his chin was borderline Glass.

    yes, his chin shaky, but he's been stopped by a fighter with good power, and a fighter with great power. he still has fights left in him, throw him in with Jeff Lacy and let them slug it out.

    i dont think miranda has a below average chin
    he was kod by 2 of the hardest punchers from 160 to 168 ,clearly his chin is not his strongest asset, but its not complete glass ,like some have begun to say it is

    Well, Zakman...while sometimes I agree with your assessments, I don't think this one is fair...sorta like your judging of Rahman...

    Miranda may or may not have the best beard...but he has really only been KO'd by two guys who are generally considered two of the biggest punchers in the game...

    Similarly, Rahman was KO'd and KD'd by only outstanding punchers...Maskaev, Lewis, Tua, Sanders...

    Rahman's chin is PROVEN china. People go on about Wlad Klitschko, but he's never been rendered utterly unconscious like Rahman has. Guys with good chins don't get knocked out cold multiple times, I don't care WHO they're fighting.

    Miranda's chin may not be quite that bad, but it isn't exactly that good either. And when he gets stopped a few more times, I do expect you to take my "I told you so's" with good nature!:D

    Not so sure of his chin, it certainly aint granite...but its his defence that is absolutely **** poor, he looked like an amateur imo, his offence was clumsy and wild, his 'power' didnt look ****! (always knew it was overrated), the only fight i see anyone caring about next could be jeff lacy, who i also think will KTFO of him. Cya pantera you had some people fooled for a bit now its time to leave..........
