      He wasn't like today.
      He's obviously better higher.

        No one turned down any fights. Arum never said the bout was out of question and Pavlik has always wanted the fight.

          Yeah I agree with you, I'd love to see him and Kessler fight!

            Or Miranda was absolutely nothing as so many other fighters proved.

              Lots of great matchups for him at 168!

                Probably over money. Pavlik or Williams would hit him from ringpost to ringpost. The guy falls into a shell whenever another guy throws punches. Pavlik or Williams don't stop throwing punches.

                Abraham used to look better than this, so maybe the weight is affecting him. He had more vigor about him before.

                  Look Miranda isn't great but he was only ko'ed by Pavlik. He can take a shot.
                  It's clear to me AA's power is good but better higher.

                    The trick definitely is to keep throwing with AA and don't trade.

                      AA has showed plenty of one punch power in the Middleweight division, knocking out Miranda at a catch weight of 166 doesn't prove much.
