    Who thinks Edison Miranda is overrated?

    It seems a lot of people on this forum seriously overrate Miranda and what he has accomplished. They are calling out for him to get a shot at the best guy in the division Kessler (now that Joe C is up at Lightheavyweight). Who exactly has Miranda beaten to be worth a mention of getting at shot at the top guy in the division after beating two medicore opponents himself?

    David Banks couldn't even win a fight on the Contender so that win means ****.

    Henry Porras, who the **** is he?

    So Miranda has beaten no one at SMW worth a lick yet he should be getting a shot at the top guys? Makes no sense.

    He never held a title at MW, he got KO'd by Pavlik, beat Allan Green but got knocked down in the process. I guess he is most noted for breaking Abraham's jaw in a fight he lost (albeit shady).

    Don't get me wrong I'm not a hater, I love the guy's trash talking especially. But I see him for what he is, a limited brawler who can be outboxed.

    Let him beat someone ranked in the top 10 at SMW and then maybe he can talk about fighting Kessler. Until then he is really an untested quantity IMO.

        He is one of the most over rated fighters in the game. Both Kessler and Mundine would destroy him within 6 rounds.

        Its a shame some so called boxing fans would rather see an A class fighter against a C class fighter, rather than 2 a class fighters going at it.

        Msg to Miranda fans : Sure knocking out guys cold looks good. But you have to take into account the fact that they have had 10 losses and can't take a punch.

        Im sure Mundine has bigger one punch power than Miranda. That shot he landed on Soliman in the 2nd is bigger than anything Miranda possesses.

          I always thought he was and correctly picked the seventh round KO for Pavlik. Whenever a guy gets a good KO someone people go crazy. That tells you those particular people are more into KO's and not the technicalities of boxing, I think Pavlik is ordinary too skillwise and said two years ago that Allen Green would never be a world champion, I just see very exposable flaws in some of these guys.

              Lacy or Bika would be fan friendly fights and would give a true guide of where Miranda's place in the division is IMO.

                Uhhh, I do. Clearly.

                Mikkel Kessler would have gutted his ass.

                  Miranda is vastly overrated.

                  While it would have been cool to see Kessler give him a brutal beating, I'm not particularly bothered the fight isn't happening. Miranda doesn't particularly deserve a fight with Kessler.

                  I'd have still rather seen Kessler fight Bute than Mundine again though.
