I was thinking last night about Abraham vs Pavlik wondering how that would go and i was thinking of how Arthur Abraham demolished Edison Miranda which got me thinking will Edison Miranda ever win a world title or will he always be a nearly man. I really like Miranda and would love to see him get a world title but im not sure he will perhaps he has a good chance of getting in on the Super middleweight titles but im still not sure what do you guys think?
I think he is powerful enough to win a version.
But if he does stay at 168lb that division is deep so maybe not.
But i think he will at some point.
I think (and hope) so there are definitely title holders that are a lot worse than Edison; if Edison got a good trainer he could be a threat as he has power and a decent chin it's his terrible defense and technique that let him down.
I don't think so...Miranda or should I say his people can not nget it out of their thick heads to change on his style...Power is not enough...add some more defense....
He is too easy to figure ot and beat....
He will only remain to have a punchers chance and ifn he does win one he would not reign long
Shame really because I like the guy
No.
Honestly, how hard is it to win an alphabet trinket? Of course he will win one.
If you are talking about being THE champ of any division, I say no.
No he is kind of like the John Mugabi of his era but not as good and not as powerful. Don't be suprised if he starts getting blown out by lesser opponents like John Mugabi did.
Don't see him beating, or being one of the better super middles in the world. Whether he is matched up softly enough to win some trinket at some point who knows, but I definetly wouldn't see him being a top 5 fighter even assuming he cant make 160 anymore.
All the top fighters at Super Middleweight are bad style match ups for him, Lucian Bute is tall and is a good outside fighter, the same with Mikkel Kessler but he is better technically than Lucian Bute.Quote:

Not sure about Denis Inkin haven't seen enough of him, and Carl Froch is still untested and his defense is leaky. But other than that could can Edison Miranda really beat at Super Middleweight ?
If froch can beat Pascal I would love to see him fight Miranda, two explosive punchers, which will result in an excellent fight. Hes been unlucky miranda, a fully focused miranda causes problems for any fighter at 160-168 IMO.
How has Edison Miranda been unlucky ? he was beaten fair and square by Kelly Pavlik, Arthur Abraham, and he would of been very focused for the rematch against Arthur Abraham.Quote:

Who knows. But he's just too one-dimesnsional for my liking though. But anything can happen and I had him clearly winning the first AA fight and the first 3 rounds of the rematch.
Exactly, with so many belts out there, he should be able to win one of them.Quote:
