    Pantera ran his mouth so much after the Abraham fight. It was entertaining for a while, then after he annihilated Gibss on HBO the bandwagon was in full effect.
    Then he got a proper beatdown on HBO, and then he seemed to forget about that and started running his mouth again.

    It wouldn't kill the guy to learn some boxing skills. He's entertaining, just too crude for the top guns.

      Pantera is fun andf I'd watch him anytime. But he completely blew it against AA and showed a lack of composure. Pavlik was just a bad match for him; his chances against Taylor would still be solid.

        Since I heard about Pantera's story and saw the way he fights I liked him. I think there will be more talk about him after a few good performances and once he has a match set up with a good opponent. Banks i don't think has the fire power to hang with Miranda. I think once the Pascal fight gets closer there will be a lot more talk about him.

          You are only as good as your last fight and most people last memory of Edison is getting his ass kicked by Kelly. Yes, people jumped shipped, but I got a good feeling they will all be back this year.

          Pantera is one of the most exciting fighters around with the biggest heart. With his tough childhood, how can you not route for him. He got me back into boxing a few years back and I will always be a huge huge fan of his.

            Edison Miranda will KO Pavlik if he gets another shot at him.

                i guarantee you wouldnt put real money where your mouth is on that ludicrous prediction.

                honestly, miranda is fun to watch, but his skill set barely rises above FNF level, he is not world class and he will always be beaten by the best guys at whatever weight he chooses.

                ive always been skeptical, people like to buy into him cause hes got a good story of hard luck and he has a ****load of muscles and a fighters heart, but he is not, i repeat, not going to win and hold a world title for any real length of time.

                at 168, kessler, calzaghe, bute, mundine, pavlik will destroy him. i think even carl froch would beat him if they fought this year. i would say pascal can probably beat him too, which would **** his whole career up.

                he should fight jeff lacy, fulgencio zuniga or alejandro berrio.. cause those fights would be good for the sport as both guys would throw bombs and neither guy would outclass the other.

                  Not many people would agree. Funny thing is before they fought most people thought Miranda would kill him. One bad night and everyone jumps to the Pavlik wagon.

                  But I 100% agree with you and WOULD put real money on Pantera if they ever hooked up again at 168lbs.

                      the bandwagon can be cruel I guess.. so many fans so much hype and interest on the scene and just as quick as it came, he lost it in one night.
                      what was supposed to be a warm up fight for Jermain Taylor in a then, mostly unknown, Kelly Pavlik turned out to be Pantera's worst nightmare.
                      Not only was he weight drained but he was demolished and not only did he lose the fight but his fans went with the winner as well.

                      Anyway, just showing support for my boy Pantera!
                      I haven't forgot about you mayne..
                      That is why boxing is a cruel sport a W means everything and L means you need few year to recover and maybe must more
