HOLLYWOOD, FL, March 15 – Edison Miranda has been called the people’s middleweight champion and the uncrowned champion at 160 pounds. Now, none other that Bernard ‘The Executioner’ Hopkins, one of the greatest middleweights of all-time and a future Hall of Famer, has given a ringing endorsement to ‘Pantera’, saying in a recent video interview now viewable on www.warriorsboxing.com that “Miranda is the guy I pass the torch to.”
What torch is this? is it just an actual torch? if so that's nice. Only the other day I went in the attic and low and behold when I went to switch on the torch it didn't work, even when I put fresh batteries in. I'm pleased that Edison Miranda won't have that problem, you can never have too many torches.
Maybe Hopkins is still suffering a little dementia left over from his last loss to Calzaghe but the current Middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik knocked Miranda out cold!!! Leave it to Hopkins to pass the torch to a fighter just like him..Beatable!!
kay...taylor didn't really 'beat' hopkins the way you're supposed to beat a champion. You could say Taylor beat Hopkins...You could also say a raisin is a fruit... taylor received more damage in each bout from hopkins than he applied to hopkins in both bouts combined, and was given gift decisions due to his aggression, youth, and 'good ole boy, yessa massa' attitude. hopkins, a 40+ year old man actually had taylor hanging on for dear life in survival mode.
It's only a matter of time before Miranda touches up on Taylor's chin. Miranda will be a great reigning champion, long live the Pantera.
You can use that same logic with Calzaghe Vs Hopkins. He won, but aint beat him the way you're suppose to beat a champion. I think Taylor has done that more decisivly than anyone is these past years.
"Hopkins passed the torch to the guy who beat him twice" LOL Exactly......I like Bernard, seriously, but its not like he is Maciano retiring unbeaten as champion and he's handing off to the next guy...he lost twice to Taylor who was then KO'd badly...by the same guy who badly KO'd....MIRANDA!!!! If Anyone wants that torch, man, they need to pry it from Kelly's hands
man i dont noe wht every1 hates taylor dude seems like a cool guy and he is a decent boxer there are plenty of worse boxers out dere but no1 says a word about dem
i dont think a coward and businessman can pass the torch to a true warrior.
You keep bumping these old threads. Did you post under a different name then?
It's funny to read them
kay...taylor didn't really 'beat' hopkins the way you're supposed to beat a champion. You could say Taylor beat Hopkins...
Still beat him though init? im sick of hearing this type of shite
he didnt beat him right or he didnt touch his big toe before the bell rang
complete bollocks he lost who are you to judge a fight whatever you believe
is fuckin pointless cuz it dont change facts..
You could say Taylor beat Hopkins and he did lol so does the record book and there all that matters...
The thing about Miranda/Abraham is that it discredited both guys. I never meant to back Abraham, only to say that miranda showed 1) in the first four rounds that he can't attack a good defense and 2) that he will lose his head and get frustrated. How can you defend the headbutt??
But Abraham did not come off looking good, not by any means.
But, I want the rematch as we all do. I just don't see it as a real 160lb championship.
Yeah I've been through this with Vanes.
He's just so far on Abraham's side there's no point to debating anything with him. The fight he saw in his head was Abraham backing Miranda up the entire fight and breaking his jaw in the process.
I haven't seen the fight so I cannot yet pass judgement.
Vanes is gonna love this.lol

AND ABRAHAM WAS STANDING AND TRADING OR EVEN USING A REMOTE BOXING TECHNIQUE? HE RAN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FOR 8 ROUNDS AND FLURRIED MAYBE TWICE PER ROUND ABSORBING PUNCHES MOVING STRAIGHT BACK.
I feel better now.

Nahhh. Oscar ran.
