Have some rep, I agree with that completely. Whatever the reason that Kessler didn't accept this fight, I can't possibly see it as him being concerned about how dangerous Miranda is or w/e. Kessler would absolutely murder him imo, he couldn't miss with the 1-2 and easily hits hard enough to do what Pavlik did to Edison. If anything it would just be a more precise beatdown, as he's very accurate, a little faster than Kelly, technically better and just as strong, if not powerful. I do respect that Miranda wanted the fight though and put forth an offer. He's definetly good for the sport. I just hope I'm not proven wrong and Kessler signs to fight a no hoper. Can't see why he'd want a confidence builder as he did very well for himself against Calzaghe even taking the 12th strong.
