why the f**k are there so many Edison Miranda fans on here??
Yes the guy is an amazing puncher who on his day can knock anyone out..
But its quite clear that the guy has a decidedly dodgy chin!!

That is exactly what makes him exciting. He goes in there to war it up and let the chips fall. His fight with Kelly was a classic and he fought his heart out until he had absolutely nothing left.
He is cut from the same cloth as guys like Arturo Gatti. Always willing to give it his all. Abraham is doing the exact same thing. Both these guys deserve a shitload of credit as a win does not really help the winner. Abraham does not need this fight as he would be able to fight Pavlik regardless. Miranda does not need this fight because if he does win, he will still be a guy looking for a dance partner at 168.
This is a fight for pride more than anything. It is a risky venture for both without the offer of much reward.

See i said the very same thing about mayorga 2-3 years back.
When the guy is throwing he is unbelievably strong and has that predatory instinct to potentially become a great fighter.
But with that stance and that style your always opening yourself up to get hurt, mayorga is often like a sitting duck just waiting to get punched so he can throw back at you.
All im saying is that edison is always gonna struggle against natural counter punchers and will eventually come to a point in his career where to be the best he probably will need to change tactics!!

All of us know Miranda is not a great fighter in the sense of the word. He may never win a championship. He could go after a strap and get one, but he always wants the top dog. He is a throwback fighter though and he has a huge pride thing going on. He wants to fight everyone just because. He goes in there to try to take his opponents head off and if it turns out to be his own, he picks himself up, brushes himself off and does it all over again.
With all these fights that do not take place these days, seeing fighters b*tch and whine about money. See them taking easier fights just so they can position themselves to some meaningless strap someone calls a title, or watch them overprice themselves so they do not have to fight as they want to play the part of a diva. This all makes guys like Miranda sparkle like gold in my eyes. he is the type of guy that will fight absolutely anyone, but still has a hell of a hard time finding people to fight.

Bullshit he has a dodgy chin... He went toe to toe with Kelly Pavlik in a knock out drag out fight that left them both with facial damage even though he got TKO he wasnt sparked out by no means...
Where else has his chin put him in danger of losing a fight, Arthur hit him with plenty of Flush power punches the 1st fight and it didnt faze him......
This coming from a guy who says Hatton would buzz thru Coralles, siting the fact that Coralles lost to a guy that he never heard of (Joshua Clottey) though he neglected the fact that Clottey is a natural solid Welterweight with better than average powerand decent handspeed that could fight Junior Middleweight easily, and while Coralles is a natural 130lb fighter weighed in on fight night around the Welter limit Clottey hydrated up to 160So for a Box Rec commando I dont put to much onus on his ridiculous comments of late
Miranda is far more skilled technically than Mayorga and there stances are NOTHING ALIKE, and is far from a sitting duck waiting to get hit so he can throw back, Seriously dude if you dont know anything about Miranda than you really shouldnt comment, since you look quite foolish to the ones that know the deal

Cmon junior step up and defend you comments
1) You never heard of Joshua Clottey
2) You didnt know Coralles lost at Welterweight to a guy that is bigger than anyone Hatton ever fought
3) Said Miranda Had a dodgy chin even though he only got KO'd and been in seriously trouble against Pavlik, who has KO'D just about every one he has ever fought on his way of being the Universally Recognized Lineal Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the World.
So if calling Bullshit on your retarded ass is that time of the month, than you better mark this date on your calendar Captain Boxrec![]()

Well for someone who has a dodgy chin he sure took a beating from Pavlik before finally succumbing to "the ghost". Many guys wouldn't have been able to take 1/2 that pounding before going to sleep. At least the guy comes to fight, and is as game as they come; give the guy that much credit. I may be mistaken, but isn't Pavlik the only guy to even put him down.
I for one am looking forward to seeing him fight again.

Hey boy, for someone with 250 sub-par posts you have alot of nerve jumping one of the more respected posters on here.
Speaking of looking like a c#nt, have you noticed that gay-ass profile pic you have upThe one with PapaPastySmurf telling little boys to watch their arse's in Cardiff? I sure hope that's not a picture of you out looking for victims
Hattongothammered should be more appropriate![]()
Not trying to start an argument but you have to back up your comments, you can't expect to come out with a comment like "Miranda has a dodgy chin" and except no one to challenge you on that comment. Especially since quite a lot of members here like Miranda. The facts are that the 3 boxer's that hurt/floored Miranda are considered punchers, Howard Eastman has 42 wins, 35 KO's, Allen Green has 26 wins, 18 KO's, Kelly Pavlik 33 wins, 29 KO's. And also lets not forget Abraham has 26 wins, 21 KO's and Miranda took his punches very well.
