      He needs to find someone that is willing to step in the ring with him. It has always been a problem. He is going to have to get on top of the rankings again and force the fights (like he did with Abraham, Pavlik and Green).

      There is not one belt holder that will fight Edison as a voluntary unless the money was huge. Until he gets another one or two decent wins the money wont be there...

      Miranda is ranked as high as #4 in the WBC

        that pascal fight is pointless. I don't want to make it seem like i'm a Miranda fanboy and I am glad that Pavlik whooped him but I love fighters who give me my money's worth.

        Fighting guys like David Banks and Pascal is not fair to him but you gotta do wat you gotta do

            I agree, to a point. To the unknowlegeable boxing fan, beating an undefeated Pascal (#2 WBO) in his hometown is pretty huge.

            To us, more educated fans, it is a worthless fight that Miranda should fairly easily win. Not a big upside in this case.

            But there are no other options for him. He would much rather fight Bute, Kessler or even Joe C. But until they accept the challange, you gotta fight the best that will.

              They were showing the Ring Top 10. Miranda had not yet been ranked by them, but is currently #10. How they have Green, Lacy and Bika ahead of him still baffles me.

                I'd love to see Green get a title shot too, Miranda owned him but a 100 percent Green is very dangerous. Miranda stated he wasn't interested in Green but thats his only option right now, Joey's gotta vacate those belts tho to give these other guys a shot

                  the giants winning was a big upset, the quintana win was an upset.. i don't think taylor winning would be a huge upset, but ibragimov beating klitschko is a huge upset, but it won't happen
