    I think Miranda could make it in MMA, I think he could be champ in MMA not boxing

    He will comeback sooner than you think, he fights a lot and stays active and probably fight for a shot mid 2010.

      He'd be kind of like Houston Alexander I think. Crazy power and no ground skills. A lot of the times he would lose on the ground, but some fights he would shock his opponents with his power.

        He would have success to some extent, excelling in one area, but still lose to the best for being too one-dimensional, just like in boxing.

          pretty good comparisons

          if anyone was dumb enough to stand with Miranda, his power + 4oz gloves would equal murder

          but he'd likely get taken down and submitted in short order

              Miranda isnt even a good boxer. He's just a well conditioned guy with power. There's plenty of dudes in MMA that are better boxers than Miranda.

              Miranda would win by KO in mma so long as he gets fed nobodies but when he steps up his competition he'd get the kimbo treatment.

                  WHAT???????? Miranda gettin kimbo'ed in MMA, WTF?? Man look at Scott Smith boxing skills, i swear i would kick his butt standing up. MMA guys'boxing suck balls big time. Watch TUF , those would get KOed by Lucia Rijkers and i'm serious.

                    who the hell was saying scott smith's got good boxing skills??? and who the hell says tuf has the best striking mma has to offer??? Seriously. Guys who talk **** about mma only see **** they wanna see.

                    Look at guys like Frankie Edgar, Nick Diaz, Frank Shamrock, etc etc. There are dudes in mma with some decent boxing skills. Not the greatest skills in the world but enough to not swing for the fences every swing like miranda and so many others in mma. Difference is they also have a ground game in their arsenal whereas Miranda wouldnt.
