    Unfair comparison, Judah accomplished much, much more than Miranda. He held championship belts in two divisions. He also put up a good fight in his losses against Mayweather and Cotto.

    Miranda always falls short when he was supposed to deliver. He never won a belt and would most likely have a much harder time at SMW division.

      Yep, that is how it should be done. No doubt whatsoever these two guys are the top 2 MWs around. America is where the money is so it is where they should focus the campaign. The fight is ready to be made now but from a promotional sense a double feature would be profitable I think.
      It would only work if they both had tomato cans lined up though, so they could both score BIG KO victories, so it looks like a real war in the making.

      We the fans know that it would indeed be a war, but for the big money, the general public would need to be convinced.

        Lol, look at who their projected apponents would be. Safe to say, I think they would live up to their end of the bragains.

          If we could somehow work the lineage back to Tye Fields, he would become the GOAT.

              I knew you were gonna ask that, and I'm already prepared:

              Tye Fields > Saul Montana > Greg Pickrom > Jameel McCline > Shannon Briggs > George Foreman > Michael Moorer > Evander Holyfield > Mike Tyson > Brian Nielsen > Larry Holmes > Ken Norton > Muhammad Ali > Karl Mildenberger > Kirk Barrow > Alvin Green > Ezzard Charles > Joe Louis > Billy Conn > Young Corbett III > Mickey Walker > Tiger Flowers > Harry Greb > Gene Tunney > Jack Dempsey.

                im not saying anyone is over-rated but arthur should face jermaine taylor before going at pavlik
                JT wouldn't last 6 rounds with AA.

                    Miranda needs to go to lightheavy if he isn't going to train like a fighter should. He looked very weak in this fight.

                      And the movement has begun.

                      I'm wondering if anybody knows how much Pantera weighed-in on fight night. I hear the guy cuts down from 210 to make SMW.
