      i think miranda would finish lacy once and for all....i think a lot of miranda's appeal is he is just the definition of a hungry fighter...he always looks like he means business....i think he'll have an exciting career no matter what....

            I heard about his story and its great that he is making some money and living a completely better life. Beyond that though to me has done nothing for me to praise or like him as a fighter. See the bold is what I am getting at. Basically you just like the dude and I can respect that. Some people just have that effect on you.

              I think he will have the same problems at Supermiddle he had at Middle..

              That being That Any Good Boxer with some power will Get him.. he is TOO easy to hit..
              The guys at SMW are naturaly bigger and And hit harder... Plus they are used to getting hit harder as result..
              Miranda is not invinceable.. therefore he will go as far as a defensively inept slugger usually goes..

                      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.
                      I could see Mundine fighting Inkin-Froch winner. But i can't see miranda getting a fight with the top 5. Because hes to much of a risk and a win over him doesn't do much. especially since pavlik beat him.
