I actually don't know who I'd favor in a Jones - Miranda fight. Jones could obviously outbox him the majority of the time, but if Miranda could time him with that big right hand it could all be over.
I'm actually not that impressed with Jones really, beating an over the hill, blown up, inactive Trinidad does not a comeback make.
I think Jones looked pretty good actually, regardless that Tito was blown up and inactive. He's still a hell of a lot better than David Banks. I seriously would give Miranda very little chance against Roy Jones based on that form. I also think your not giving due to the fact that Roy could easily land a big right hand of his own and Miranda would be on queer street at the least, and Roy would obviously be more likely to land the better shots. Roy is still way too good for Miranda to actually beat imo, though it would be a hell of an action fight.
Jones looked pretty good, I don't disagree with that, but looking good against an Trinidad isn't all that impressive. I think Trinidad would come up short against any of the top fighters at SMW. I'm not sure who would win if Jones and Miranda fought. I don't think there's any way Miranda could win a decision, but he might be able to hurt Jones if he could hit him. I wouldn't might seeing them fight.
Thinking about it, I'd actually have Miranda-Trinidad as a pick em fight if not favouring Trinidad. I just don't see what Miranda has done since being KO'ed in a one sided affair against Pavlik, to make him a legitimate threat at SMW. We all knew he had great punching power, what has he actually proven to the fans, that would suggest he isn't the same fighter Pavlik beat down? I just don't see it, Roy Jones would murder him.
I don't see Miranda murdering anyone with Tito's ring experience, grit, and arsenal of punches. I think it would be an extremely crowd pleasing war where Miranda would have to take Tito out early to win. Trinidad puts his shots together way better than Edison, knows his way around the ring way better, is faster, better skills.. The only thing on Miranda's side is power, and Tito is no slouch there either. I don't see why he couldn't hurt Miranda. If it were so easy to just blast Tito out of there, Roy would have done so. Hopkins would have. The problem is, you need to have boxing skills in order to figure him out and get out of the way of his shots. Look at the left hook Allan Green floored Miranda with(practically the only shot he threw) I think if therre's one big fight at SMW Tito should take, it's against Miranda. I really think he's getting overrated again these days. WHY?
