He's kind of like an in shape Sam Peter, but whereas Peter fights in a division boasting less talent than a Newcastle brothel Miranda will have to compete against some of the top p4p fighters in the world.

In my opinion Taylor, Hopkins, Wright, Pavlick, Abraham, Calzaghe, Kessler, Andrade, Froch, Bute, Mundine, Dawson all beat him with several fighters having a chance to knock him out.

If he fights Pavlick next I'd fancy Pavlick to stop him inside the distance or if not give him a Calzaghe/Lacy style beatdown.

An entertaining fighter but not one of the world's best.
CC! And what a war a bout between him and Lacy would be. Could be one of the best fights of all time! I would pick Lacy but man that would just be awesome.
