    How about Sakio Bika? (Both physical and with plenty of heart)
    How about Codrington? (Codrington might fancy to KO Miranda too!)

    I think these two fights are better than Pascal, for now.

    Any other names? Will add a poll after I hear more decent choices.

    Bika and Codrington are both good fights. Both would be wars. Codrington might end up in the hospital though.. I think Miranda would KO both of them.. neither Bika nor Codrington's chins looked very good in that Contender finale!

    Miranda would beat Lacy by UD

    Or how about your boy Bute? :shock:

    Miranda ko's both easily.Glass chinned Coddrington wouldn't last 3 rnds and Bika who is much tougher and has a decent beard would last 7 or 8 rnds

    I think Bika's chin is vastly underrated by people who base most of their appraisal on the Codrington fight. In fact, Bika's chin is very good! I would be very surprised if Miranda would KO Bika, even if he hit him flush, which wouldn't be that easily done. (Bika likes to sway and stay out of range with those loopy attacking-defensive shots; once he is inside, he would get the better of Miranda)

    Whom should he? If he wants to put himself on the line for a world title shot right away, the winner of Dennis Inkin - Carl Froch or Librado Andrade. If he wants to make money and entertain - Jeff Lacy or Sakio Bika. He is going to fight Pascal and lose a decision so what would come next... Another comeback fight against Taylor on his own comeback trail.

    good ideas man.. i think theres a lot of options for miranda


    Pascal
    Lacy ( i would usually want miranda to stay away from him but lacy didnt look close to the same to me)
    Bika
    Codrington
    and id personally love a fight with tarver to happen

    and andrade would be a good fight... a good learning experiance for miranda, andrade doesnt have the power to really hurt miranda.... it would be a good fight for miranda to work on his defence.

    Carl Froch would be an interesting one

    Those guys come and throw bombs. Somebody would get knocked out

    Miranda better than Joppy? :bart *












    *Important disclaimer: this is a tongue-in-cheek comment intended to amuse. Obviously, I think Joppy is shot and am a riled by this choice of opponent for Bute. To drown my sorrows, I am trying to make light of the situation by pretending Joppy is good. Notice the snobbish face after the comment. This suggests even more strongly that the comment is made in jest. In other words, I think Miranda is better than Joppy and would have preferred him as an opponent.

    he is a very exciting puncher, but is also very limited and with his leaky defence and question chin, will be found out now he has gone up in weight. I can5 super middles who i would bet my house on beating him.

    If I was his manager I wouldnt be looking for someone too tricky, or anyone who hits too hard, i think Andrade would be an entertaining fight, he doesnt move too quick, has a good chin but a non exisistent defence which i think Miranda could capatalise on. This is probably the best fight in which we can gauge how good he is at super middle.

    Oh the five i was talking about - in no particular order -

    Jeff Lacy, can be one dimensional, but hits hard and has a better chin than Miranda aswel as being more well rounded boxer. I see Lacy stopping him in 6.

    Mundine - China chin Ant, would be too slick for Miranda and I see him picking up a decision..aslong as Mundine isnt grazed by anything relating to a punch, coz he could find himself dead.

    Bute - Southpaw gives him an immediate advantage, he also has tidy defence, boxing skills, punch, chin is still a question mark but I dont think Miranda is good enough to trouble him too much. Bute UD

    Calzaghe - Calzaghe Ud, maybe a late TKO on the cards.

    Kessler - TKO 8, too sharp, too quick, hits too hard and has good chin, too well rounded for Miranda.
