    I’d love to see Inkin/Miranda. Inkin has the tools to beat Miranda, his body work is sound, has a good chin and when the jab gets going, look the **** out. But he gets dragged down to his opponent’s level all to often where he gets complacent. Inevitably, he could risks too many flush shots against Edison and of course, a KO would happen if the case.

    A fight I’d love to see none the less.

      No hes not. I worded that wrong. A lot of people carry on like hes gonna destroy everything in front of him. But the thing is he is hittable. Hes defence is poor. Eventually hes gonna succumb and take a loss. And then he may react differently, become a more defensive fighter who knows. Kelly is great but not that great yet.

        Mate i agree with that. After watching Bute vs Berrio. I think Bute is definetely favourite against miranda but who knows. I think it could be close.

        At the moment Kessler is untouchable in the division. The closest and really only serious threat i see to him at the moment is Mundine. If Mundine wants a fight he can do anything on his night. I have seen this guy sparring. He has speed, power. A near perfect defense. Roy Jones Senior said this guy is going to be special in a couple of years. 18 months later, which is now, i can see him getting up in a tight UD over Kess.

        Bute is still young. And not at his best. i think he still has improving left. Could be a dangerous fight for him.

        But Miranda can't touch Kessler. I think the only one who can is the aussie. And its a fight im waiting to see.

          Miranda doesn't have the technical ability to beat an elite boxer.
          But if he's lucky & wee Joe drops all his belts he may get tae hold one for a wee while before getting spanked by the likes of Pavlik , Kessler etc....

            I think Mirandas good but not that good. He will win a vacant title. Im sure of that though.

              He'll do damage, but Joe C would put a pounding on him. Not so sure about Kessler.

                I don't know. I can't see him ever beating Kessler ever. He might be good enough to beat guys like Inkin,Froch and lacy. Especially Lacy.

                  I say Miranda can get a title but Kessler will eventually run the division and I see no way Miranda can beat Kessler other than catching him flush. I also don't see Miranda beating Bute who is world class in his own right because Bute has power and can be slick if he chooses to be. Miranda should get a belt though so time will tell once Calzaghe vacates.

                    I like pantera. I think he is exciting to watch and a great puncher. That being said he is just nottechnically sound enough to beat a kessler. I would like to see a matchup up with jt at some point.

                      What title?

                      well what Title should Miranda shoot for? because the Froch/Inkin bout is scheduled March 15th and should be for the vacant WBC belt

                      Mundine is the WBA champion, Bute the IBF and the WBO should be vacated by Calzaghe

                      so Miranda should pick wisely. its been said already, but the only thing holding Pantera back is his lack of technical ability

                      because one can only rely on power so much.

                      watching several of Miranda's last fights including vs Porras, Gibbs and even vs Banks Edison has showed good timing (setting up his punches) as well as the use of a jab.

                      hey its not "world class technical ability" but definitely skills that can be improved on and shows that Edison is more then a crude brawler who swings for the fences.
