    Can Edison Miranda become an elite fighter?

    Several years ago, Miranda was being touted as the next best middleweight fighter because of his explosive knockout power and his ‘hard luck’ story. Fast forward a few years later and things have not gone to plan; he’s been KO’d in grand fashion twice and all of a sudden he’s lost some of his luster and is desperately trying to be relevant again…

    As a fan of Pantera, I want him to succeed and do well for himself. He is, after all, a very entertaining fighter who’s never been in a dull fight in his life. So, do you think he could ever be an elite super middle or light heavy weight fighter? I don't have allusions that he’ll be an undisputed champions but I think he could win some big fights against some big name fighters. What do you guys think?

    I doubt it. He's lost a lot of his shine. I'm sure he can still win a belt or 2, but I don't see him becomin the man to beat in his division.

          You guys are quick to write him off. He might be able to reinvent himself if he hooked up with the right trainer. I’m optimistic that he can turn his career around…

            Probably not but he might get lucky one of these days. He's got unpredictable power.

              he should look to take on someone like kessler, or maybe the winner of wright and williams.

              heck i reckon he could do put up a good fight against someone lke bute, or bika.

              but is he ever gonna be the man in any division? no.

                As the famous Dave Chappel would say.

                "He's fucking done son!"

                He's a B level fighter at best...I had HIGH hopes of Miranda because of his past but he's showed that he isnt on the level of Elite plenty of times.

                  Abraham out boxed Miranda the first fight as well as the second. If they have a third, at any weight, he will out box Miranda yet again. Like Sam Peter, Miranda still hasn't learned his trade and chances are he isn't going to. Nevertheless, he comes to fight consequently he always has a punchers chance, and that will make him a factor in the division.

                    He deserves recognition because he isn't in any boring fights, and may win an aplhabet title or two in his career. but i dont think he will ever be a top dog in any division. But i like miranda and wish him all the luck in the world.
