How did Miranda take his time?? In Colombia and Dominican he faced deadbeats. He had been in the USA for 10 months before he fought Eastman (a guy Taylor ducked) for the #1 spot. Then he travels to the corrupt land of Wilfred Sauerland and fights 21-0 IBF champion Abraham in his backyard. And IMO he beat Abraham much worse than Taylor did Hopkins...

My point is, however, that this guy is saying things about Pavlik that are more biased than I could even dream of saying about Miranda... I'm just tryin to bring him back to earth and be somewhat realistic. The guy is good. The guy has power. But until he beats at least ONE decent (top 15)guy, don't sit here and talk how he can destroy anything that moves. He had a chance to fight Miranda last year and turned it down. That's taking you time, what Miranda did is far from it.

Good for Taylor to have the money and power behind HBO to keep in fighting in his backyard. You bet your ass he wouldn't travel to Germany to fight a guy like Abraham with Sauerland running the show!
