What a great breakdown analysis. I pick Tito. At 160 he still could hurt what he could hit and Miranda is very hittable. of course future will tell much more about Miranda's abilities, but he is not a type of boxer who would trouble Tito
The Tito that destroyed Joppy would fuck Miranda up BADLY! I know that 160 wasnt Tito's best weight, but Miranda is just too wide open and tailor made for Felix for size to matter. Tito stops him within 8.
You make a valid point. Just cause Tito lost to B-Hop & Wright at 160 doesnt mean he wasnt a good middleweight. Was it his BEST weight? Nah, thats 154. But he destroyed Joppy, who was a solid fighter. None has ever since been able to destroy Joppy the way Tito did. Miranda maybe naturally bigger than Tito, but he's not as big a puncher IMO, and skill/class wise its not even a contest. I'm HARDLY a Tito fan, but if ever there was a fighter tailor made for him it'd be Miranda.
Actually the fighter tailor made for Tito was Mayorga. Miranda is just another name down on that list. Agreed though that it takes a defensive wiz to beat Tito, there are very few brawlers who would be able to do it.
I think this would be a really good fight right now. I'd favor Tito becuse Miranda is open for the straight right and Tito loves throwing it.
True, but Trinidad is often open for right hands. We all know how Miranda can bomb. I'd love to see it.
