But I'm not throwing in the towel on Lacy yet. He's still young, and with a bit of polishing, could become a good champ.
I agree that Miranda won't be moving up to Super-Mid anytime soon, unless of course, there is a definitive title offer for him. He has a lot of unfinished business to take care of at Middleweight first.
To answer your question about Miranda v. Lacy:

I would have to go with Miranda at this point because his stock and confidence has skyrocketed. I think it would be fireworks as long as it lasted.
Dead on the money.

Miranda's confidence & power will be a huge factor at 160lbs & 168lbs if he chooses to make the jump...come to think about it...now that you mention it...8lbs aint S*** for someone with Miranda's frame.

Interestingly enough...I'd be curious to see how he faired against Tsypko.

That'd get the Lacy arguement rolling & it might shed some light on the current state of Lacy. I aint one to jump ship until the bow is almost underwater...but in Lacy's recent outting...I lost a lot of faith.
Sorry, bro. Can't repeat a karma action for 24. Been a bit out of touch as of late. I hope those business woes with that partner you had were resolved.
