Will Edison Miranda be the next Ricardo Mayorga??

  1. I love Mayorga. I will watch every fight that he is in. Now that Miranda is a mere mortal, maybe he'll develope into more of a brash/obnoxious talker like Mayorga is. Miranda needs a big win immediately or he will be a Wednesday night fights guy for life

    Miranda never one a title, let alone three and partially unifying.

    True. There's a lot of similarities though. Both gatekeepers, good names on the record - but beatable. Both hit very hard. Both brash talkers and great characters.

    One's chin is suspect though and the other's is very good.

    He already is!

    Mayorga was better in his prime though!

    Miranda is better skill wise although that's not really saying much. He's still young though, so we'll see if he can win a world title.

    I don't think Miranda will ever beat someone on the level of a Vernon Forrest.

    Has Miranda ever won a belt? At least Mayorga has done that. Miranda has a Glass Jaw.

    You don't think Miranda is brash and obnoxious enough? Listen, Edison Miranda is the second coming of Ricardo Mayorga... Both overhyped, both humilliated through the years, both illogical, pretty raw and crude, true bizarre figures in pro box today.

    Although i love love love miranda, i think its a little insultive to mayorga....

    Mayorga was an undisputed champion, and beat some notable fighters and put up some entertaining battles against ATG's.... only being dominated by trinidad at MIDDLEWEIGHT and oscar at 154....


    Miranda actually has a long way to go before id compare him with mayorga... i guess if your just talking styles, in that they are trash talking tough guys who come to knock you out... then hes already like mayorga.


    you know what i just realised... mayorga is building up a pretty big resume

    Mosley
    Vargas
    Hoya
    Trinidad
    Forrest
    Forrest
    Lewis

    considering he will probably fight AT LEAST one more big name before he retires... that is not too shabby.

    Mayorga is much better than Miranda while both are crude Miranda is even more so. Not to mention he doesn't have Mayorga's chin or his intensity in the ring.

    You can't compare Edison Miranda to Ricardo Mayorga because Mayorga
    won two different tittles. About a year and a half ago i thought Edison
    was going to be champ....i thought he would stop Kelly Pavlik...I thought
    he would beat Abraham...but all he proved to me is that he has no chin...
    So it's an insult to Mayorga to compare him to Edison Miranda...

    Prove us wrong Edison....i still believe you can win a tittle.....but like someone said earlier....he's gonna end up on Wednesday night fights...:patsch

    Yeah come to think about it this guy is absolutely correct...but Edison is still young so maybe he can turn things around....he better do it soon or that's it for him...
