          Yes, and I stand by what I say, he is the kind of fighter who relies on his strength and power(cause he obviously does not have any skill) and in that weight he is gonna be too small.

            Fighters who win with power often can't move up.

            Fighters who win with skill often do about the same when they move up.

            Miranda was drying out as much as humanly possible to make 160 though... I don't think 168 is going to be a career killer for him.

              There is no comparison. You're on another tangent now-- we were talking bout size.

                Yes, and averagely he is too small, forget about Calzaghe he is good 3-4 inches shorter then other major players in the devision and he won't be able to impose his size on them either.

                  Watch his fight against Porras. He boxed the entire 5 rounds until he had Porras in trouble. He used the jab better than I have ever seen Jermain! I think he had a wake up call in Memphis and is taking 168lbs differently. I was impressed with what he did against Porras. Maybe Porras is not a great test, but if he fights that way against the top guys I think he has a very good chance.

                  And he is all of 5'11'', probably closer to 6'0''. He was 187lbs in the ring against Porras, so saying he is was a small MW is a joke!

                    How do you know that, because his camp used it as an excuse?

                    Miranda is ****, a poor man's mayorga at a heavier weight. He would get a beatdown every time he is gonna step up and his power is overrated too.

                      And where were you after he lost to Pavlik?


                      Heh, I seen gatti box against Leija and we all know how it translated to boxing against someone better.
