You have to hand it to Miranda for stepping up to the plate and taking on the undefeated and dangerous Allan Green and beating him convincingly, and now he's coming right back with a fight this summer against the undefeated and dangerous Kelly Pavlik. He's showing that he's willing to fight anyone to earn his title shot, and that's the way boxing should be. Do you think he's the next Middleweight champ?

If he gets past Pavlik, you have to give him his due. He's real right now, but a victory over Pavlik would be a hugh stepping stone. It's a big fight for both of them, the winner goes on to bigger and better things, and provided the loser doen't look too bad, both are young enough to still be successful. As Middle Weight champs go, Taylor's wins over Hopkins and Wright lack that definitive signature of greatness old timers like the blogbaba like to see in middleweight champs. A young gun might just give Taylor a better fight than the established names he's beaten.
Blogbaba has to belive both Miranda and Pavlik have a reasonable shot at Taylor. Time will tell.

He's an ugly "boxer" but a tremendous "fighter." The kid can flat out punch better than anyone in the division. He's willing to take a few to land a few and not many can take those shots. He destroyed Green and Green was scared to engage and spent most of the night clutching. Miranda beat Abraham (although the decision went to Abraham, despite a grotesquely broken jaw).
And to the Pavlik lovers. Who exactly has he fought??? Pierre? Zertuche? He's shown skill but he' s beaten a bunch of bums while Miranda has mowed down established contenders like Howard Eastman, Willie Gibbs, and Alan Green, not to mention the aforementioned rip-off vs Abraham.
Pavlik is taller but Miranda's reach is longer and his power devastating.

Hes the real deal, but he has flaws just like all fighters, he does tend to brawl, but he has a hell of a right hand, he is rumored to go against Jermain Taylor Soon, and that will be interesting because both tend to brawl. I am still dissapointed over the WINKY WRIGHT and TAYLOR fight.

He's a brawler with limited skills. A boxer would pick him apart, he's like a young Ricardo Mayorga.
