"I don't know, if it's fear. But it is definitely caution. He wants to protect his record. And he knew, he would lose to Edison Miranda," said Miranda to TV 2 Sport.
"I don't have nothing against Kessler. He has just wanted to protect himself and his career. I'll just get a different opponent. I don't care, who stands in front of me, if it's Calzaghe, Andrade, Kessler..... Edison Miranda faces them all," said the Colombian boxer.
this was an interview with Danish sports news.
Miranda is the man. Abandoned as a child by his mother, he has no fear and takes a lot of undeserved criticism for being willing to fight anyone (because *gasp* he might lose!). He never disrespects the sport that put food on his table.
Great Post.

Kessler wants a belt, which Miranda doesn't have. I really wanted to see this fight but I can understand Kessler's logic. I'm not really a fan of Kessler either.
Put yourself in his shoes. You just lost your titles to Calzaghe and obviously you want to be SMW champ again.
If you had a choice between a title fight or fighting another contender which would be a tough fight, what would you pick?
Very good point.
To hell with Kessler fighting for some alphabet soup title that means nothing. Miranda represents a beast to tame. The fight represented a breakthrough fight in North America for Kessler. Is that not what he asked for?
As much as you guys hate to admit it, Kessler comes out of this looking cowardice. Now he will chase after some organizations belt, and fight in Denmark time after time.
Rinse and Repeat folks, all rinse and repeat.
Even if this fight don't happen right now, I think it still will sometime this year as long as Kessler and Miranda don't suffer any serious damage in other fights.
It's a damn shame this fight isn't happening, would have been pretty damn entertaining if you ask me.
Yeah, it would've been a great fight, sad to see it's not happening, but I always got my boys back :boxing: so if he wants to go after a champion instead, cool with me!
kessler Didnt duck Mirdanda...
Kessler did something worst...He openly back out of the fight with Miranda that is WORST.....
I will go on the record and say if Floyd ever BACK out of a Fight with Cotto I will Think and called him a bitch.... Because just how i did with cintron...
That is unacceptable..
Really? Please do explain. I would absolutely LOVE to know everything that Calzaghe exposed.
Why haven't you been banned yet? And just because a fighter exposes the flaws in a fighter doesn't make that fighter any worse, Kessler is a good fighter. And your a cunt, and I don't know how your not banned yet.
I can bet my life that Kessler will duck Miranda after Kessler gets that belt. Kessler's body is what will give him his second lost, he can't handle body shots. Thats a weakspot on alot of ppl but I'm certain that theres fighters out there who can expose it even more. Theres alot of things Calzaghe exposed in Kessler in that fight even though Kessler put up a good fight.

Exactly, taking steps down the ladder - That's why Kessler won't fight Miranda!
Miranda is ranked LOWER than Kessler - He has nothing to prove against a lower ranked fighter, Mogens Palle says he is ranked #1 challenger for WBC and WBO, so why not take the titles right away? He says he's ready, he's hungry and he promised his fans he'd be world champion again. And according to his promoter Mogens Palle, he'll be world champion by Summer.
I believe it. Kessler's a classy fighter and he can climb back to the top where he belongs in no time at all, as long as he avoids pointless fights.
Of course.
But why the hell would Joe even think about fighting Miranda, right at the end of his career, and after fighting Hopkins? FFS! The thought of it is just laughable. It'd be taking 10 big, pointless steps back down the ladder.
Fuck it. Joe should just give Tocker Pudwill a rematch.

Just because Joe exposed his flaws doesn't mean anyone else can do it the way he did. Joe's a world class boxer and there aren't a lot of in his weight division that can match his skill.
kessler should kill himself.
Why should he kill himself? Because he prefers a title shot over a fight with a lower ranked fighter? It has nothing to do with fear...?
Before you start going on an emo spree saying people should kill themself, maybe you should try and see shit from Kesslers side.
He wants a title fight.
Calzaghe would make him his little bitch.
Of course.

kessler should kill himself.
So what you're saying is he should fight a Miranda (the man with no belts) because you want him to rather than fight someone where he has something to gain?
hahahaha, like Calzaghe would waste his time with Miranda. And Andrade is looking pretty good now, thats a good fight to make. Miranda vs Andrade, though I'm pretty sure Andrade wants Bute.
u just put casamayor gettin punched but the guy who punched him was the 1 who got fucked up
hahaha, I get what your saying with that. Except Hattons been ducking witter for some time now, it wasn't just cause of Mayweather but I guess it's even more now because of Mayweather for the fact that Hatton realizes what its like to fight a real boxer.
He is still young, he can easily take a fight with Miranda then go after the belt. You just make excuses for Kessler
exactly, so he could just bag a belt and then fight Miranda where's the problem. Miranda could pick up his own belt during that period which could turn the fight into a unification.
