Miranda: "Taylor, Abraham Are Paper Champions"

[brownpimp88]

Name 1 middleweight champ from the past that didnt fight smaller guys, miranda is a moron. Who have you beat? Oh yeah, no one. Fight pavlik and then you can talk about a title shot.

Taylor vs Miranda Taylor by Ud

Taylor vs Pavlik Taylor KO 6

* He KO'd Eastman, a true middleweight.
* He went to Germany and arguably beat Abraham, a true middleweight.
* He fought Willie Gibbs and KO'd him in round 1, a true middleweight.
* He soundly outboxed and almost KO'd a skillful and undefeated hyped Allan Green, a true Super middleweight.
* He will soon fight and be heavily favored against a hyped undefeated Kelly Pavlik, a true very large middleweight.

And he will have done all of this is just over one year's time.
I'd say he has the right to talk a little smack and the right to call out Jermain's name to fight him.

gibbs is nothing, eastman was coming off 2 losses. He lost to abraham and beat green, those are his credentials right now. He was so pissed at green because of the way he was dissing him, well what did jermain say to miranda?

HOLLYWOOD, FL – Boxing has always been a tough business. It’s even tougher when those who claim to be ‘champions’ continue to run from real challenges in search of easy paydays that keep deserving contenders from getting their opportunity to shine. People’s middleweight champion Edison Miranda is not shy about discussing this topic. [details]

I agree about Abraham BUT Taylor? Taylor beat living lagend in Hopkins TWICE and is Linear champion! And btw Miranda lost to paper champ Abraham who had broken jaw!!! Now thats peoples champion!lol

[Chipper]

Taylor's rein will be shortlived.

[bishop2006]

I like Taylor for fighting Hopkins twice then Winky,but now it seems he aint really doing anything big,first small Kassim Ouma who gave him a hard fight where he clinched for 9 rounds,then he was gna fight feather fisted Sergio,now feather fisted natural welterweight Spinks

Winky and Hopkins was hitting Taylor with alot of shots,lets not forget Taylor isnt the best boxer,he has no defence,and people are saying he'd easily outbox Miranda and Pavlik? If he dont learn how 2 defend,he'll end up geting KO'd by Miranda,he hits way harder then Hopkins and Wright

[Deeznuts]

Miranda is just trying to pick a fight, thats what you do when you want a title shot. Create a buzz about yourself like Mayorga did and get the big bucks.

I love guys who talk ****, but at least have done SOMETHING before you trash a guy who has done more in one fight than Miranda has done in his entire career...

[kayjay]

Even when Miranda retires he will not have had one fight of the magnitude or difficulty of which Taylor has already had three.

I'm not a big Taylor fan but he's fought the toughest competition of anyone currently on the p4p list. C'mon you guys cannot complain about a reign in which he gave the outgoing champ a rematch and then followed it up, not with an easy selected opponent, but another HOFer. he deserves a few fights against selected opponents, and honestly Spinks is not bad.
