One of Miranda's traits that I like the least. He's about as mouthy as Mayorga...remains to be seen if he can back it up against the elite though.

I'd love to see him fight Taylor.

I think that Wright has too much skill for him.

I honestly believe that he'll have another ruff night against Abraham. That fight was give & take & broken jaw or not...Abraham hurt Miranda also.

I'd rather him fight someone like Mora, Lorenzo, or Duddy...some of the lower teir but skilled middles. There's plenty of time to get to Taylor...but let it build up...let the rivalry sell the fight instead of your mouth.


I certainly agree to a large extent. But I think Miranda deserves a lot more than fighting the likes of Mora, Lorenzo, or Duddy. He proved on the world stage that he could compete with a World Champ when he fought Abraham. There are many Abraham detractors, but the man still finished the bout even though he appeared to have a melon growing on the side of his face.
We see H.W.'s like Briggs getting a shot at a title for fighting a who's who list of washed-up bums. Miranda has been in there with a solid and crafty Middleweight Champ. I don't understand why he should have to wait any longer by fighting second tier opponents...just don't add up to me.
Putting his mouth aside for the moment and remembering that boxing isn't about being the most congenial and affable figure, there really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Miranda's argument or reasoning. He's willing to put up and DiBella won't shut up.
I'm not sure there are any Middleweights ready for Winky. He's one of the craftiest fighters I've ever had the pleasure to watch with unparalleled defensive skills. I think that the only one to take out Winky will be Winky himself when he decides to hang up the gloves. Winky is a freak and would have outboxed James Toney. That is, back in the early 90's when Toney was not hitting the Deli 5 times a day and was fighting at Middleweight.
We'll see...in any course, Miranda will be a mandated fight for a titleholder real soon.
a middleweight.
