Some poster stated in another thread that Miranda would be kessler entire list bar Calzaghe! I find it quite funny, whats your opinion? Does Mirandas slick defence easily hold up agaist Andrades Pressure game, so he can knock him out cold in 6-8 rounds. Or Does mirandas sound skills help him catch lets say Mundine (Im uncertain about Mundines current level, so lets say the version kessler UD`ed). Does American Television really hold that power, where is the objektive evaluation of fighters skills?
Don't waste your time boii. Miranda is easilly one of the most hyped fighter in this forum. I don't have to mention other names . . . Andrade will kick his ass worst than what Pavlik did. . . . end of the story. :rofl
Andrade also lacks defense...but has one of the hardest heads I've ever seen. An Andrade/Miranda fight would be a good one too watch, and most likely a barnburner as well.
Can't see me Miranda beating Andrade. Andrade could roll with Miranda's best punch. I'm seeing a stoppage win for Andrade in this one. Bika's the fight for Miranda, I reckon. Here's the real test.
I think he would have also lost to the 2004 version of Manny Siaca. Obviously he couldn't now because he's retired. He might have been able to beat 2006 Beyer though.
Didn't Andrade get knocked down in the first round in his next fight after Kessler? Surely that gives Miranda some hope.
Andrade UDs Miranda Mundine UDs Miranda Miranda probably stops Siaca (a guy not to underestimate) Miranda stops Beyer (but prime Beyer is a very good fighter) Miranda stops the Lucas Kessler fought Miranda beats the rest...
Whilst I appreciate Kessler hasn't fought him, I reckon a pre-Calzaghe Lacy would either stop Miranda or give him everything he could handle... :blood
Very accurate I believe. I cant see Miranda avoiding a tko against Andrade though. Prime Beyer - Dont know, beyer is/was technically quite sound, might be vulnerable to Miranda (now infamous) knock out power!
Prime Beyer beats him easily I say but there is always a big punchers chance there if Catley could KO a a more or less prime Beyer. Agree with Bigbone mostly Though Andrade stops him And I still dont think Miranda would stop Lucas, even the one Kess fought. Id say Thysee would be an outside chance of stopping Miranda late, that guy has a crazy chin. Saying Miranda can beat most of Kessler's opponants says more about the quality of Kesslers opponants before he challenged for the title than it does about how good Miranda is.
I'll give you guys Mundine, no problem. But WTF did I miss on Andrade?? I saw a seriously plodding, extremely off balance and slow fighter on my TV. Maybe he does still beat Miranda, but let him fall in all off balance with his chin just dangling out there like he did against Kessler, and I'd bet a nice sum that a Miranda uppercut has him counting the sheep.
Seems that everybody is underestimating Miranda and giving Andrade and Mundine way too much credit. When a guy like Yusef Mack (who dat?) puts Andrade on the floor , it makes me shudder to think of what Edison would do to the wide open Mexican, who doesn't have the power to trouble Miranda. Mundine on the other hand, could outbox Miranda for a while, but how long before Pantera finally nails him? Don't forget, Mundine was kayoed by Sven Ottke. That doesn't show much of a chin. Anyway, we'll see eventually. Miranda doesn't have a problem fighting anyone , anytime , so if everyone else isn't scared stiff, we will see Miranda against the elite of the 168 pound division.
I cant argue with all the doubters. He lost one fight against Pavlik, but looked bad. That is what everyone will remember until he beats a top guy. Until then, people will not think he has a chance against these guys. But watch how the bandwagon will start again once he destroys a guy like Kessler. Laugh now, it is boxing and that's how most fans react.
