    Hopefully Kessler will fight Taylor or even Miranda......it'll answer some questions.....

    I dont understand why people think that Bika is better than Berrio, ive seen Bute fight both, and Berrio was much more busier and hit a lot harder. I actually pick Berrio to beat Balzay, Bika, Braehmer, Tsypko, Andrade, not sure about Inkin or Froch.

    BTW, Stieglitz will beat Andrade, mark my word !

    I like Sakio but I don't pick him to beat Miranda. Brooklyn, I notice you left him out of your list.

    Mind you, Bika-Miranda should be a great fight.

    I have him in 9th position in my top15 so I guess that makes him a top10.

    Just outside top 10, but has potential to be much higher

    I have him on 10 or 11, depending whether Calzaghe is ranked or not.

    1. Joe - Champion (WBC, WBA, WBO)
    2. Mikkel
    .............
    3.-4. Lucian (IBF), Choc,
    5. Taylor*
    ..............
    6.-8. Froch, Andrade, Inkin
    ..............
    9.-12. Tsypko, Sakio, Miranda, Braehmer
    ...............
    13.-16. Lacy, Green, Stieglitz, Pascal

    *benefit of the doubt

    Making Miranda Top 8 or better is mad, I think.

    Not that high, he's nothing more than a test for the good supermiddles out there. He has little to no boxing ability and is one handed. Furthermore, his power isn't all its cracked up to be at this weight

    I don't see that to be honest. Taylor is a smarter fighter now than he was in his last few fights. He would be sure to keep the fight in the center of the ring, establish his jab, beat Miranda to the punch, and keep his hands higher to watch out for the big right hand. To win, Miranda would need to show vast improvement. By that I mean more body punching, better footwork to cut off the ring, better defense, a less telegraphed right hand, and a solid left jab.

    As it stands, I'd take Taylor by UD (but would be rooting for a Miranda KO)

    brooklyn1550, why do you like Miranda so much? He couldn't even beat AA, who fought for 7 rounds - 21 minutes with a broken jaw - he could barely keep his mouthguard in his mouth was so swollen and open!:-(
