Could just be sour grapes from his former manager, but the guy doesn't really bash Miranda all that much. Mostly just speaks to how undisciplined Miranda is and how he would let his weight balloon to 225 lbs when he was still fighting at 160 !

ESPN Classic just re-aired Miranda's stunning KO of David Banks in 08 and its sad to think how much Miranda has lost since then.

I mean hell I'm sure he could still KO Banks now, but Miranda tho crude, never really panned out to be the monster a lot of us thought he would be.

Good stuff Hulk. I kind of think he started to crumble in and post the second Abraham fight. I think he thought back to the first one and it ruined him upstairs even taking into account his terrible past on the streets.

Medium success has ruined several fighters and I think it did in his case. I'm sure being surrounded by parasites didn't help.

Include me in the group that was thinking he was going to be a monster.
Miranda looked awesome when he burst onto the scene by stopping Howard Eastman who had never been stopped in 50 fights !

I still would have loved to see Miranda vs. Bika, but Miranda has moved too high up in weight and I think Bika always would have gotten him.
