This is good news, I don't think Miranda's career could handle another bad loss.

Miranda has two fights at super middleweight and his last fight was against Banks and him knocking out banks translates to him beating Kessler who just went toe to toe with Calzaghe and beat Anthony Mundine a name that Miranda won't even mention about fighting and you think Im killing my brain cells? I think you got it reversed.
And I don't smoke weed im straight edge.
It means nothing. If Kessler won all that I'm saying right now will be said by boxing people. "Well Miranda only had two fights at super middleweight and never really fought anyone truly dangerous since Pavlik."
I'll put it to you this way, Kessler beating Miranda is nothing. Miranda is just a name at super middleweight who hasn't proven anything there yet except that he hits hard, which was already known.
Why doesnt Miranda fight Pascal or fight Mundine? Why is nobody calling out Anthony Mundine's name? If Miranda wants a title or some recognition why doesn't he call out Anthony Mundine's name?
This makes no sense. Why would Miranda be criticized for rather fighting Kessler who is a harder fight for him then either of those two? How does that make sense? He's calling out the better fighter, he's not ducking the lesser one. Besides, Mundine doesn't fight out of his own back yard and Pascal isn't taking any big fights right now. Pascal's team wouldn't return any calls from the Andre Ward camp and if I'm not mistaken, Miranda has mentioned Pascal more then a few times.
Besides, if you read the article, the claim that they are fighting for a title elsewhere sounds like formulated BS.
Kessler is much more well known than Mundine, thus there is more money and exposure in a fight with him. Like JTRock said, Mundine is fighting Soliman anyways, and Miranda was probably trying to get a fight with Kessler done when Mundine was trying to choose an opponent. A guy who got KO'd by Sven fucking Ottke is not going to want to fight a punishing hitter like Miranda anyways. Miranda is better known than Mundine or Bute, so for Kessler it would make sense from a monetary perspective, as well drum up more publicity for both fighters if they fought eachother. If Miranda is just a name at SMW, who in that division has a bigger name, so to speak? Not Mundine, not Bute. Maybe someone like Bika, but only because of the Contender, and even then I doubt he is more popular the Miranda.
In regards to Pascal, he has become incredibly quiet ever since he watched Miranda destroy Banks from about 10 feet away, Miranda can't force him to fight. Before the Banks KO, Pascal was calling out Miranda and talking shit about him in every medium possible, now he doesn't say a word.
Also, Arther Abraham, for all his faults, was also a very dangerous opponent for Miranda.
That Ottke fight is sooooooo far back that it shouldn't even be discussed anymore as Mundine has improved leaps and bounds since then.
One other thing Mundine has is a killer right hand, which Miranda seems to be open for at most times.
And Im not saying Miranda won't get credit for fighting Kessler, I'm saying that Kessler won't get any credit for beating Miranda.
Tell me what in Miranda's resume against people like Kessler has he succeeded? Abraham defeated him and Pavlik knocked him out. Both of those fighters were people who could fight at a distance better then he could. Kessler is the best of those three at fighting at a distance and is a good boxer he only got beaten by Calzaghe who fights better at distances then he does. Miranda isnt even in that league. Let him beat someone of note at super middle before he fights Kessler.
Let him fight the Adrande then if he is desperate for a fight.
If a fight ever comes off between Miranda and Kessler once Kessler beats him badly I'll come back here and tell you I told you so.
People overrate punchers beyond no end and its like you forget everything Kessler did before beating Calzaghe.
When you fans say that he should go for the biggest name to start off it sounds like you're hoping he lands one big shot and gains instant fame as oppose to fighting the people I mention because you're afraid he'll get beaten.
