I watched Brinkley/Steven last night finally after hearing Brinkley/Bute is on...

[JonnyFolds]

The better question is... If Miranda and Brinkley fought.. Who would win?

I have Brinkley on points. Too sharp, doesn't care about getting hit, and he knows how to corral a totally offensive minded fighter pretty well.

Hell I don't even think Miranda could beat Stevens at this point. He is almost exclusively a man with a punch.

I tend to agree though I wouldn't really call Brinkley "sharp"... Yeah, Miranda is a man with a punch against middleweights and the David Banks of the SMW Division... =D

So Miranda loses a war with Pavlik where he was up on the cards before the 6th round. He goes toe to toe with Abraham in their first fight and puts on a better performance against Andre Ward then Kessler did.

Now you think he couldnt beat Brinkley or even Stevens? Man that is just some stupid shit.... Miranda has officially become the most under-rated fighter on this board.

What fight were you watching. I had Pavlik winning every round until the stoppage. And he looked like crap against Ward. Why bring that up?

2 of the 3 judges had Miranda up going into the 6th round.

If Bute and Pavlik win their respective fight, they should then cross the leather together. At least, that's what HBO has in mind by diffusing simultaneously both of their bouts. Miranda is classed #9. Not so bad. I would have preferred another stronger opponent for Bute but guess that the best is yet to come.

Well regardless boxing is a "what have you done for me lately" sport. It's a mute point cuz Ward is going to unify the titles and fight Bute after the super six which will be a pic 'em fight for 168 supremacy.

So Miranda loses to Ward, who you consider to be 1 of the top 2 SMW in the world. He loses to Abraham who I would assume you think will fight Ward in the finals of the S6. Abraham is currently boxrec p4p #9. He loses in what we have already discussed a war with Kelly Pavlik up to the 6th round. Pavlik is currently Boxrec P4P #15. And now Miranda is going to fight Bute, the current Boxrec P4P #10.

Miranda has one of the most impressive resumes today in boxing. How you can say he would probably lose to Brinkley and especially Stevens is laughable to me.

Brinkley loses to guys that are not even ranked in the Boxrec top 50 of their divisions and Stevens..... well we all know he isnt even on Brinkley's level.

You forgot to mention Abraham has a broken jaw early doors then in the rematch destroyed Miranda with out breaking sweat .

Kessler would smash him aswell.
