    All of the top dudes other than Kessler are fighting each other at 168.

    As per 175 there's nothing there. Chad Dawson and nothing. Clinton Woods is probably a top 3 LHW nowadays.

    man im abig fan of both . Miranda only chance in this fight is to catch ward cold and get him out of there in the first 2 round other then that ward will beat him down and take him out suprisingly quick based on his speed and power. i really hope this fight doesnt happen but good fight none the less

    Ward has better power, skill speed, and focus.

    I guess it depends on who you consider top? I'm not sold on Inkin, Balszay or Froch. Taylor has one fight so far. While I think he will prove to be in the top, we can't say for sure yet.

    No doubt the money is at 168lbs. I guess that is why he wants to stay at that weight. If he makes the weight with no issues, I think he can take Ward. But this is a tough fight, and Ward seems to be aggressive. Anything less than 100%, I am not sure Miranda could go the distance.

    Well I'm not exactly sold on Balszay or Inkin either. Still everyone at 168 is fighting at least good competition.

    Compare that to 175 where Dawson is hurt and when he comes back, he's fighting Tarver again in a relatively meaningless fight. The #2 LHW is looking to campaign at cruiser and then...well...Glen Johnson? Clinton Woods? Elvir Muriqui?

    There's not much at 175.

    Ward doesn't have better speed than Dirrell. Sorry but that's not accurate.

    They'll never fight each other but if they did, Dirrell would take it pretty easily.

    :lol: It's clear you have some sort of bias towards Dirrell.

    I agree with you. I do not like this fight for Miranda.If i had to bet i would bet on ward. Having said that Miranda has a good shot against anyone because of his power but i do not like this fight for him.

    Pantera....if your boy keeps going up, he'll eventually lose the edge the helps him be competitive, which is his power ! If he can't make a run for a title at 168, he's going no where in my book !

    Miranda has a Glass Jaw and gets knocked out everytime he fights a legit fighter.
