Shit fight.
Andrade would be great if he cant get Bute (50:50) or Kessler(Carl Loses) or JC takes the bait for another pay day(Carl gets schooled).

Calzaghe should take that fight now.
He'd win 120 - 108.

Miranda would work as a routine defence and would maintain interest in the US.
There are far bigger challenges out there though, it's not a particularly competitive fight.

miranda would be good after froch having had 2 very hard fights previously.

Froch - Andrade I'd like to see.

A Miranda fight makes no sense to me personally..... Froch KO early IMO.
But for some reason the Yanks love him.... so why not!

miranda, like bika is a tough strong but limited opponent.
in fact i'd rather see miranda v bika.

If Miranda beats Ward then Miranda is a good name defence.

Yes, if Miranda gets buy Ward, I am sure he would be more than happy to travel back to England for a title fight. We need to see what Miranda shows up with Ward. If he is back to a pre Pavlik fighter, I think Froch/Miranda would be a war. If JT can hurt Froch, Miranda could stop him. Of course Miranda's chin would have to hold up first. Great defense for Froch in his backyard.

Froch would shatter Miranda's Glass Jaw - Edison would be brutally KOed by a Jab.
He has by far the worst Chin of any fighter in the 168 Division.
That's completely exaggerated. Abraham hit him with a huge right hand. Pavlik beat the shit out of him round after round and got an accumulation stoppage.
This could be a good fight, but I would think Froch would be looking for bigger and better things.

How about Jeff Lacy? I know it would be a step backwards but it could be fun for a couple of rounds.....

I'd steer clear of both Miranda and Lacy.
Lacy, after all... was pretty much ruined by his nemesis, Joe Calzaghe, and beaten out of sight by Taylor.
Miranda has lost to both the top quality fighters he has been in with.... a win here means little IMO.

''How about Jeff Lacy? I know it would be a step backwards but it could be fun for a couple of rounds..... '''
may be he can fight peter manfredo afterwards
Pete Manfredo is coming off a good win. Saw him beat almost Duddy conquerer, Walid Smichet in a war. Brutal KO by Pete.
It's starting to look like a good win for Calzaghe

Not really
Smichet's not really all that so a Manfredo win over him doesn't mean much.

manfredo is a journeyman hardly a ''contender''
Not a journeyman, more of a gatekeeper type.
You are all underrating Manfredo, his KO over Smichet suggests he's a contender now. He's a late bloomer IMO.
For Calzaghe to KO him without getting hit was impressive. Only Calzaghe and Bika have stopped Manfredo, and Bika was not clearly outclassing him and was fortunate the ref jumped in.
:lol: I know you're on a wind up now!

yeah i guess he was setting bika up with something big with all those unanswered shots its a pitty the ref jumped in when he did

Playing possum. He learnt to play up for the camera in his Contender days.
