I think that a lot of people fail to realize that Green, like most other opponents that Pantera faces, was not tentative until Miranda hit him in round 1. Once you feel his power is when you become tentative. I really like Jermain Taylor but if you saw the Kassim Ouma fight you'd know that Ouma landed hard and fairly often through Taylor's defense. Taylor was moving back the entire fight. Ouma doesn't hit half as hard as Pantera! he has a good chin, but so does Miranda. If Taylor couldn't floor Ouma, I have a hard time believing that he could put Pantera on the mat.

As far as Pavlik goes, he has heavy hands and a good chin. His defense is mediocre at best and he likes to stand and trade. Even Zertuche hurt Pavlik and he's not known for his overwhelming power. I give the kid all the credit in the world for being tough and a good puncher, however I think Miranda does both a little bit better. At 160 and maybe even at 168, there isn't a fighter in the sport that could stand and trade with Miranda. That is why they all end up back-peddling and eventually on their backs.

Calzaghe could stand and trade with Miranda, Miranda wouldn't be able to touch him. Watch round 5 of Calzaghe Shieka when Sheika decided to go toe to toe.......

Froch could stand and trade and trade with him, lure him in and kill him with an uppercut.

Honestly by the end of his career I expect Miranda to have been knocked out more times than Iran Barkely.

A merciless beatdown is just around the corner for him. He's really overratted.
I think all that MMA your watching is going to your head and making you loopy Hahaha!!, Miranda is Overrated get out of town you deplorable Hobbit

Seriously its a mute point anyway, we all know Joe Cal wouldnt have the testicular fortitude to get in the ring with Miranda anyway
