What went wrong with Edison Miranda's career?

[DoubleMM]

He has potential with his physical talents, he just needed someone to improve his boxing skills, but after this loss he's pretty much done as a top contender. Miranda should have never taken this fight.

it's gotten tot he point for me a boxing fan to have sad emotion when he's in the ring. The same with Taylor. Both have great personalities and are great people but enough punishment on yourself is enough. More to life than just boxing.

I feel ya Mann. Was telling my wifeY the same thing. Boi had so much potential. Lack of focus damaged his career. Tisk tisk.

his in a very hard division maybe he should fight some no names for a while then fight someone in the top 10

[medium-deek]

I doubt fighting no names will make any difference. He has had more than his fair share of chances. Beat by Pavlik. Beat by Abraham (twice) Beat by Lucian. That is 4 world title chances. Failed on each occasion.

Do feel for him a bit, but like I said, had the opportunities and has come up short each time.

[SoldierWarrior]

He's limited, he should fight stieglitz or whatever the ****ers name is, he also can fight andrade too. Theirs other fights out their like steiglitz, andrade, or berrios for him. Those will probably be fan-friendly fights and fights he can still win and make decent money from. I'm sure a trainer can make him better, but he has to stop that ****y-bull****.

He got hurt by a couple of punches in the fight last night and was trying to psyche bute out by acting like they didn't hurt and he paid the price for it. He has to stop that type of ****yness bull**** especially when he knows he has a very talented fighter infront of him. I don't think Miranda is done yet though, as I said theirs fighters at 168 he can beat.

[minasyan]

just saying he was never in a position to take that many good fights in a short period of time

the losses to his names are not really something to be that displeased about

questions need to be asked about his promoter or trainers giving him those fights, why would you fight bute after you just lost to ward? these are pound for pound the best fighters in the world

seems like a good bloke, i feel sorry for him a bit

[-Hyperion-]

if you didnt see the technical improvement in miranda tonight, i dont know what you were watching......it wont matter that hes technically better now though, since miranda's punch resistance was shot by pavlik.....thats why hell never beat a skilled champ with power.....and his skilll is still not enough to beat a good champ with no power, aka andre ward....id still pick him over steiglitz though.....

[medium-deek]

I doubt he will get a shot at the WBO title. Most people are gunning for the German on the idea that he is the weakest of the champs. Miranda will no doubt be one of the last in line, now.

[daggum]

his career has become so dire that i'm doubting if he could even beat froch now.

[The Hammer]

The honest truth is, Miranda is talented but he's just not very smart.

In the first two rounds last night, he seemed to have acquired some new skills having worked with Goossen for the past 9 months.

However, he made some bad mistakes in the third round and left himself vulnerable to being KOed.
