    Just curious. He's still young and physically in his prime but it seems like he's gone about as far as he's going to go in boxing. Would switching over be a better career move? With his punching power and ferocity it seems like he'd be good at it.

    I agree. That's why I feel he might be better over there. No sense just being a gatekeeper in boxing when he could make some real money somewhere's else.

    If low blows and headbutts are permitted in MMA: YES

    He would take a huge pay cut and have guys rubbing their junk all over him trying to secure a toe lock.

    Since when has boxing ability ever made anyone a good fit at MMA. Does he know how to kick or defend kicks ? Hows his takedown and takedown defense ? Can he hold his own in many different types of clinches ? Hows his Jiu-Jitsu ? Ive made the switch from boxing to MMA and MMA is about 10 times harder.

    You could say the same when switching from MMA to Boxing. Boxing is 100 times tougher and harder. I swing like a girl when I was doing MMA:lol: and so do a lot of MMA fighters:lol:

    He would get his ass whoop just because he D sucks in boxing. But he has a punchers chance. But I can see someone kicking his head off

    He will be back. Anybody with that kind of knock out power is going to have a career. He will still make a lot of money in his career if he plays his cards right. He now needs to go knock out a few 4th tier fighters and get the idiots of the world, which there are many, screaming his name again.

    I am already reading that Miranda inexplicably didn't keep his hands up in the second fight vs the first fight, which of course, is why he lost. :nut
