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.
Great post. If Miranda (and Pavlik) win their next 1-2 fights I am sure we will see the rematch at 168lbs. Weight drained is an understatement of what happened to Miranda, he had a fevor too. But even at 100%, I still would never say he beats Pavlik at 160lbs. At 168lbs it would be a war and I hope we get to find out.

I also hope he gets his shot at Taylor someday.
