    Miranda vs Pavlik to cofeature the Taylor vs Spinks card?

    I hear they are in final talks of putting Miranda vs Pavlik in Memphis on May 19th as the comain event.
    Would be a great buildup to a possible Miranda vs Taylor fight (if they both win).

    Wow! Miranda fighting 3 times in 5 months on HBO if this comes through. And 4 times in the last 8 months total. Impressive!

    People that bash jermain are morons, he's using spinks as a tune up and then hes fighting the top challenger. I say thats more respectable than b-hop fighting hakkar and eastman as tune ups.

      He has been figting blown up welters and jr. middleweights in Spinks and Ouma. He couldn't even put Ouma away and he was much bigger than Ouma. His win over Ouma wasn't impressive. He beat on a smaller man and couldn't even knock him out. He was gonna fight Sergio ****ing mora for gods sake. The ****ing Contender champion are you ****ing serious. He has yet to fight a legit middleweight that could punch. HBO wants him yo be the next big thing like an Oscar being that he is on his way out, I just don't see him being that guy. i think he could be in a lot of trouble against a hard punching middleweight.

        First lets see if the cofeature even happens. Than I will still be shocked if Taylor fights a guy like Miranda anytime soon...

          This would make it a very exciting match fight. I'm assuming Taylor-Spinks is on regular HBO? It would be a night of middleweight action with tons of implications for the division.

            Taylor last 4 fights, Hopkins twice, Wright and Ouma all 3 guys are better then Miranda.

            Spinks is a respected boxer with skills, I don't care if he's smaller, I will take Spinks anyday over Mora or some bums like the way Hopkins or Jones fought in their career.

            Taylor is not ducking Miranda, if Miranda somehow beats Pavlik, then we will have this fight and you can put your money on your boy!

            I think Taylor will fight Pavlik next, because I have a feeling Miranda will be knocked out by Pavlik.

            Can't wait for these free fights on HBO!

              And all 3 guys who dont have the power to KO Taylor (but he still got hurt badly).

              We all know Taylor can fight the better skilled boxers and go the distance and pull out questionable decisions. But we dont know how he does against a guy his own size that has power to KO him and put pressure on him all night. Im not too sure Lou Dibella is willing to find out.

                either pavlik or miranda will knock taylor out. i like both fighters, so whichever one gets the shot is good to me

                  The only fight he was hurt was the first Hopkins fight, becuase he was losing alot of blood and didn't have good stamina in the later rounds. Hopkins can punch hard if he wants to, I've seen more impressive knockouts by Hopkins then I've seen from Miranda.

                  Taylor did beat Pavlik and Lacy in the amateurs, Pavlik hits as hard as any middleweight that is currently fighting! Taylor have seen power and never been down in his career, pro or amateur!
