Most Boxing Fans Compare Edison Miranda to Ricardo Mayorga Due to the Fact that they're Both CRUDE, FREE SWINGING, HARD PUNCHING Brawlers who Talk ALOT of Shit... But After Last Night, REED DOESN'T Want to Hear that Shit Anymore...As LIMITED & AVERAGE as Mayorga is, Dude DID Win a World Title...& After that, he UNIFIED by Beating Vernon Forrest... Basically, Miranda is a Mayorga WANNABE, as Funny as that Sounds...He Beat Eastman, he Beat Allan Green...Who Else???....& when he Loses, it's Usually BADLY.... By NO Means is REED a Mayorga Fan, but it's an INSULT to "El Matador" when Others Compare Miranda to Him... REED:mj:
Yeah I'd agree that P4P a prime Mayorga was a better fighter. Miranda's best win is over Allen Green, who couldnt hold the jock strap of Forrest. In an actual fight however at 160, Miranda would beat the shit outta Mayorga. He's simply bigger and alot stronger with a bigger punch. Miranda will never beat an elite fighter. The only name opponent who I'd pick him over at 160-168 is Duddy. I'd even pick Lacy to KO Miranda.
I quite like Mayorga.....his trash talk is more entertaining than Miranda's, and it takes a better class of fighter to shut him up.....

That is the main point, and he ran into two of the hardest punchers P4P. He is certainly good enough to pick up a cheap alphabet belt. I´d favour Miranda against Sturm. Besides his chin Mayorga also has exceptional handspeed.
