Could Miranda have beaten Taylor on the night of Sept 29th., 2007?

[WelshDevilRob]

Edison Miranda was weight drained when he fought Pavlik - thats why he looked so lethargic and powerless. Hence Miranda's anger that Taylor was putting off fighting him - he knew he didn't have long left at that weight and Kelly Pavlik proved him right.

The evidence is that he struggled to make weight for the Arthur Abraham fight 8 months before and needed a couple of attempts to make the weight at the weigh-in.

Still Pavlik looked exceptional that night but I would like to see a rematch at Super Middleweight to see if Pavlik defeats a full strength, powerful Miranda.


Also Miranda's last 2 fights have been at Super Middleweight (against Porras and Banks). His rematch with Abraham is at an agreed catchweight.
