There are iron jawed fighters Vitali comes to mind and rock jawed fighters. Okay I'll put it in simple terms thats why I separated it in the 1st place. I would put Edison's jaw at a B and someone say like Hopkins at an A+ as far as whiskers go. His chin is not that bad... So to make sure we are clear Rock=B and Iron=A+.Quote:

Whoever lands 1st wins:p
If i were to put a picture of a professional fighter in the dictionary for the word 'One Dimensional fighter'. Its gotta be Miranda. He look so amateur in his fight againts Ward.
He's only chance is a KO shot. A decision win is out of the question.
He got a decision over Allan Green, people forget that fight but Green is now positioned over Miranda in most of the rankings. I think he is being sold short by a lot of people. It's not that easy to just outbox him on the outside, that's how you wind up a pressure fighter like him. I guess it can be said that neither of these guys like pressure very much but Miranda is more of a pressure fighter coming forward and that's why I think he'll win.
You could be right there. He just looks so bad againts Ward. And i thought he'll KO Pavlik too but was Dominated and kayoed.Quote:

All it takes is a win over Stiegltiz and with that belt and win he will be back in the mix. People will start believing in him again and think Joe Goossen has made him into 'championship' material. Im not saying this is all true... Just dont count him out yet. We gotta see what he has left and Stieglitz is a perfect opponent for him to be judged.

Look guys i enjoy watching miranda as much as the next guy but the dude is a fighter not a boxer and that's all it really takes to beat him. I don't see him ever really beating any of the top guys, i wish he would but i just don't see it. He's just to damn scary for one thing, so opponets are always gonna take that easy route out he gives them. I'm not forget-in the ass whooopin he put on abraham and all that but him outslugging pavlik was his best shot (cause pavlik aint the greatest boxer either and we all knew he'd stay and slug till one of them fell) .....anyhow i say call allan green most everyone else is tied up or will probaby think it's too short of notice. I also as a side note wish miranda would grow that big afro back, that made him look even scarier.

Edison ‘Pantera’ Miranda, who was scheduled to fight for the WBO belt against Robert Stieglitz, on Jan 9th in Germany has unfortunately been struck with the flu and had to cancel the bout. “For the past two weeks Edison has been fighting this thing but he just couldn’t shake it” says renowned trainer Joe Goossen. “We have been monitoring his health very closely and trying to get him through this. We had to pull the trigger and do what was right.” This fight would have been Miranda’s second title fight, losing his first encounter to Arthur Abraham in a very controversial war in what has become known as the Battle of Wetzlar. Edison was very much looking forward to returning to Germany and fighting in front of his many European fans.
“I want to apologize to everyone, Robert Stieglitz, Universum, the WBO, my team, and all boxing fans for not being able to make this fight happen. I am very upset with having to cancel. This was a great opportunity for me. Hopefully we can try to reschedule sometime in the next 4-6 weeks.” According to Team Pantera there are other opportunities that have been mentioned if the Stieglitz camp decides not to reschedule this bout. One name that has been mention is IBF belt holder Lucian Bute who is looking for an opponent to fight this April. “My first priority is to make the fight with Robert Stiegltiz happen as soon as possible. If this cannot happen I will look for the next best opponent who is willing to fight me.”
