Edison Miranda vs Jermain Taylor 168...Who Wins?

[Danny Gunz]

Taylor is done, he doesnt take hard punches well and doesnt have the defense to avoid those hard punches. And not to mention he is not fast enough to keep someone off of him with a jab for 12 rounds anymore.

Thats just a recipe for disaster for a boxer.

Miranda got dropped, wobbled, and was stopped by Bute...who I don't consider a hard puncher...

Jermain got tired against Froch...Abraham and Pavlik punch harder than Miranda, but I see what ya sayin...

bute is a very hard puncher he just doesn't have a power punchers mentality he's more of a boxer but when he lands those power shots they have a devastating effect. he even stopped kabary salem right after he made it to the final bell against the devasting power puncher joe calzaghe

didn't notice it was their current state. miranda's no stranger to the ko these days either though. still going with taylor, but not as easy as it would be in their primes. he'd be cautious and it'd cost him points.

Jermian takes him to school for like 6-8 rounds but if Miranda is still there, Jermain slows down a bit or gets to complacent with the situation and how easy he is banking rounds, then gets smacked with a hard shot and is hurt but gets up and after taking a bit more punishment the ref saves him.

I think either can win, and by knockout.

I just figured it was currently. I would say Taylor could KO Miranda but its been i dont even know how long since JT KO'd someone.

[Mr. Philadel]

JT's losses are so overrated imo....he was NEVER blown out in a fight!!!! NEVER!!!....Miranda on ther other hand has been DOMINATED by a few....I like JT over this bum all day!!

[Jack Napier]

Miranda by KO
both chin shot, poor defense
but Miranda hits harder

Pavlik, while heavy-handed, is not a bigger one-punch guy than Miranda. A more effective puncher overall, definitely, but he's a wear-you-down kind of guy, whereas Miranda needs just to land that one bomb to put you to sleep. Miranda's wild technique and overall lack of finesse varies the mileage on landing that killer right hand depending on the opposition, though, which is why I say Pavlik is the much more effective puncher.


I slightly favor Miranda in this now, where once upon a time, when this fight was mooted at 160, I would've given the slight edge to Taylor. I think Miranda could always have been a threat to Taylor, though.

[ILLuminato]

Miranda by KO.

JT nees to stay away from hard punchers.

Froch, Pavlik, and AA were enough.

LOL u think Froch is a hard puncher?
