      Never did Hopkins face a guy like Miranda in his career......I doubt what you say here.Miranda is like Tito x2 and he lasted until the 12th with Hopkins.Miranda is a beast and his pressure is sure to give anyone a handful and he is an underrated boxer IMO.

        Taylor didn't need the torch passed to him. He took the torch.

          Hopkins just doesnt want to give Taylor the guy who bet him twice credit or infact Winky the guy who he is set to face. If he was due to face Miranda and not Winky then he'd be quoted saying the Wright is the man who he is passing the torch down to

            My ass....he took nothing.He had'nt really beat anyone until his recent win over Ouma since Pre-Hopkins I, which he lost IMO.

              You're telling me Miranda is twice as good as Tito? Are you joking? The guy has power and what else? His boxing skills are below average, his jab is average, and his pressure isn't the greatest I've ever seen. Did you watch him against Green? Green backed up the entire night, but Miranda never cut off the ring. Besides, Hopkins has a great chin. Miranda doesn't have the skill to get a good shot on Hopkins. The only way he could win is how Taylor did, activity...

                  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.
                  Its Hopkins' fault for his tentative style.

                    I think Hopkins would beat Miranda, but he cant beat Taylor and he wont beat Winky.

                      Given his size and power yess he is 2x Tito......Tito came up from what WW or lower.......Miranda is a big,strong MW.His Jab is getting better as is his head movement.He does have a problem cutting off the ring I will give you that but other than that he is coming along nicely....getting better and better as time goes on.He nearly shut Green out BTW I did watch it was a nice performance.
