    I disagree with the TS, it's really hard to measure who is tougher.

    You have to also consider the caliber of opponents AA and 'Rita were facing. Miranda, as hard a puncher as he is, and eventhough PAC was outweighed by nearly 20lbs. 'Rita had to deal with the best fighter in the world and 'Rita ain't as talented as AA.

    Imagine if it was PAC against AA that had a broken jaw that night. I don't think AA would've finished that fight, add to the fact that he is a very slow starter.

    Remember, you also have to consider who the opponents were for both guys in terms of skill and ability, PAC vs. Miranda, c'mon now.

    Don't get me wrong, I give AA all the credit in the world for hanging in there and pulling out a W, but, it was against a limited fighter.

    Pick your poison:

    You being the favorite but having to deal with the pain of a broken jaw but your opponent has a limited skill set.

    or

    You being the huge underdog and having to deal with the pain of a broken orbital bone and the fact that you couldn't clearly see out of one eye and having to face the best fighter in the world.

      I thought Miranda got robbed in that fight. He got lucky to break Abrahams jab like that, but we saw a bit of ***** in Abraham (complaining to the ref, whinging). Miranda got a lot of points deducted for nothing.

      However, Abraham set the record straight in their rematch. He is the better fighter by far.

        Agree with this man. Miranda won that fight. Abe couldnt knock Miranda out until Pavlik took away his chin.

          I don't think a knock out was even on his mind after the fifth round. He was just trying to survive through continuous low-blows and headbutts to the broken jaw. You might think the point deductions were excessive, but ****** Miranda deserved every single one.

            wow great pictures hehe haven't seen those before

            I thought the fight could have been stopped cos miranda was doing heaps of dirties in that fight

            in the fight against dirrell i agree abraham was whinging a lot and they were not too low but in this fight there were heaps

              That's more amazing than surviving 12 rounds with a fractured orbital bone against a smaller guy you outweigh by almost 20 pounds, who carried you in the 12th round because he's Catholic, and lose every round.
              Look at the competition AA fought compared to Margs. I like AA too.

                Miranda can't be compared to Pac, skill wise, true. Pac is an ATG.

                But Miranda is one strong MF'er. Maybe even stronger than Abraham!

                Not very durable after Pav-licks, though.

                    Not really.

                    I'm not in the Kneeguel Quitto crew, yet.

                    He has to avenge his suspect loss to Margo. And he quit, on one knee. Regardless of cheating or no.

                    You are getting paid to fight. People have money on you. Fight. If you can't, hang on to the 12ve, at least, for honor's sake.

                      yup, you cant even bite down on your mouthpiece to cushion the punches....your jaw is basically hanging there to be hit. And not to mention the blood in your mouth that takes away from your wind/stamina . arthur is a beast.
