    I think Kessler by a convincing decision. He is very strong, but Miranda has an iron chin, I doubt he will KO him. Miranda would try to trade with him but he will just keep eating his jab.

      When this one's over, Miranda's going to be wishing he chose and easier opponent, like Pascal!

        If Kessler can come in confident and look as sharp as he did against Calzaghe he should take the decision convicingly or even stop Miranda late. Miranda's best chance is to stop Kessler but I don't think he has the overall tools to pull it off, the quicker and technically superior Calzaghe even had trouble finding Kessler at points, even taking some brutal counter punches for his trouble. Kessler isn't the aggressor that Pavlik is so yeah, this won't be like that fight at all but he should look just as domintant.

            Kessler knockes Miranda out through accumulation of punches.

              Too balanced to predict. The winner deserves a shot for a belt.

                True, but his fights are always exciting to watch.

                  I'd go with Kessler by stoppage.

                    Ha Ha Ha, it just makes me laugh to see Paulie Mallinaggi at no. 9 on your list and you have the audacity to call KESSLER overated!!

                    Its more like, Kessler = "****s harder than" Pavlik

                    I therefore see Kessler making short work of Miranda.

                      Kessler will win by decision or late stoppage. He is just too good of a pure boxer to not take advantage of the wild Edison Miranda. Kessler just needs to keep his hands up and time Miranda coming in with his left hook. He will counter Miranda's lazy left jab with his right hand. He will box from a distance and keep the fight on the outside, not giving up his height. Kessler has every advantage over Miranda. Maybe even power since Miranda is coming up in weght. Miranda would have a better chance at beating Pascal or some good fighters that are in the lower top 10. Kessler is a horrible style match up for him. A classical text book counter boxer/puncher that is already bigger than him will be too much for him. It would be a great fight though.
